Description
  • What it is. The Sol-M® 0.5 mL insulin syringe holds up to 50 units of U-100 insulin and comes in five fixed-needle options, 27G to 30G. It sits between the 0.3 mL and 1 mL sizes and is a common everyday choice for people whose doses stay under 50 units, because the markings are spaced wider than on a 1 mL barrel.
  • Needle options. This group covers 27G, 28G, 29G, and 30G needles at 1/2" (12.5 mm), plus a 30G needle at 8 mm (5/16"). The 30G insulin syringe options suit users who want a finer needle, while 27G and 28G offer a slightly wider bore. Every needle is tri-bevel, anti-coring, and silicone-oil lubricated, on a thin-wall cannula for easier flow.
  • Accurate dosing. Bold, easy-to-read unit markings support accurate U-100 dosing, and a large flange gives a secure grip. Distributor specifications list a low dead space design that reduces insulin waste. The FDA device record for the 30G x 1/2" version describes its intended use as manual aspiration of U-100 insulin and injection below the skin surface.
  • Regulatory and packaging details. The FDA record for 1653012B lists it as a sterile, single-use device classified as a Class II piston syringe. All five SKUs include a permanently attached needle and are packed in PE bags of 10, 100 per box, and 1,000 per case. This U-100 insulin syringe family is for U-100 insulin only.

FAQs

How many units does a 0.5 mL insulin syringe hold?

A 0.5 mL U-100 syringe holds up to 50 units, because U-100 insulin contains 100 units per milliliter. It is a good fit when doses stay between roughly 30 and 50 units. For smaller doses, a 0.3 mL syringe is easier to read; for larger ones, use a 1 mL syringe.

Does a 30G needle make injections less painful than 27G?

Many users find finer needles more comfortable, and 30G is noticeably thinner than 27G. Comfort also depends on needle length, injecting at room temperature, relaxing the injection site, rotating sites, and always using a new needle, since the tip dulls after one use. Try finer gauges if injections feel uncomfortable.

What does Class II mean for an insulin syringe?

In the US, the FDA groups medical devices into classes by risk. Piston syringes, including insulin syringes, are typically Class II, meaning they are subject to general controls plus special controls such as performance standards. It is a regulatory classification, not a quality rating. Check the device label for details.

Can I switch needle gauges without changing my dose?

Yes. The gauge changes the needle's thickness, not the amount of insulin the syringe measures, so a dose of 20 units is still 20 units. Changing needle length, however, can affect injection technique, so review any length change with your diabetes care team first. The markings stay the same.

Why do my injection sites have lumps?

Repeated injections into the same area can cause lipohypertrophy, a buildup of fatty tissue that can also affect insulin absorption. Rotating sites systematically and never reusing needles both help prevent it. If you notice lumps, tell your care team and avoid injecting into those areas. Changing sites often helps absorption.
