Surgo carries a complete selection of Embecta insulin syringes for U-100 insulin delivery — including the Ultra-Fine™ II, Micro-Fine™ IV, and SafetyGlide™ lines — in a range of volumes, gauges, and needle lengths to meet the needs of patients and healthcare professionals across a variety of clinical settings.

Embecta is a dedicated diabetes care company spun off from Becton Dickinson (BD) in 2022, continuing the legacy of BD's trusted insulin delivery portfolio. Customers familiar with BD insulin syringes will find the same specifications, quality standards, and product configurations under the Embecta brand.

Choosing the Right Insulin Syringe

Selecting the right insulin syringe depends on your prescribed dose, comfort preference, and whether your facility requires a safety-engineered device. The following guide outlines the key differences between the Embecta lines available at Surgo.

Ultra-Fine™ II — Precision and Comfort for Everyday Insulin Dosing

The Ultra-Fine™ II line features some of the thinnest, shortest needles available, designed to minimise discomfort during subcutaneous injection. Available in 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL, and 1 mL capacities with 29G, 30G, and 31G needle options, this line accommodates a wide range of U-100 insulin doses. Graduation options include single-unit, double-unit, and ½-unit markings depending on the SKU, supporting accurate dosing across different prescription needs. The 0.3 mL / 31G version is also well suited to Botox and other fine, controlled injection applications.

Micro-Fine™ IV — Intravenous-Grade Needle for Smooth Delivery

The Micro-Fine™ IV line features an intravenous-grade permanently attached needle and is individually blister-packed for enhanced sterility assurance at the point of use. Available in 0.5 mL and 1 mL configurations with a 28G x ½" needle, the Micro-Fine™ IV is a strong choice for facilities prioritising sterility and consistent needle quality. The Lo-Dose™ variant offers a 0.5 mL option for lower-volume dosing needs.

SafetyGlide™ — Safety-Engineered Protection for Healthcare Professionals

The SafetyGlide™ line is designed to protect healthcare workers and caregivers from accidental needlestick and sharps injuries. Each syringe features a sliding shielding mechanism that activates with one hand, keeping fingers behind the needle at all times, with a visible lock confirmation once engaged. Available in 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL, and 1 mL capacities with a 29G x ½" needle, the SafetyGlide™ is suitable for both insulin and tuberculin delivery and supports facilities required to use safety-engineered sharps devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Embecta insulin syringes the same as BD insulin syringes?
Yes. Embecta was spun off from Becton Dickinson (BD) in 2022 as a dedicated diabetes care company. Embecta insulin syringes carry the same product specifications, needle technology, and quality standards as the BD insulin syringes they replace. Customers ordering by former BD part numbers will find the same MPN references across our Embecta listings.

Which insulin syringe volume should I choose?
Syringe volume should match your prescribed insulin dose. As a general guide: 0.3 mL syringes are suited to doses up to 30 units; 0.5 mL syringes for doses up to 50 units; and 1 mL syringes for doses up to 100 units. Always follow the guidance of your prescribing healthcare professional.

What is the difference between single-unit, double-unit, and ½-unit graduations?
Graduation markings indicate the smallest measurable increment on the syringe scale. Single-unit graduations allow measurement in 1-unit increments; double-unit in 2-unit increments; and ½-unit in 0.5-unit increments for the highest precision. The appropriate graduation depends on your prescribed dose and the accuracy required.

Do I need a safety-engineered syringe?
Many healthcare facilities are required by occupational health and safety regulations to use safety-engineered sharps devices. The Embecta SafetyGlide™ line meets these requirements with a one-hand shielding mechanism and visible lock confirmation. For personal home use, standard syringes such as the Ultra-Fine™ II or Micro-Fine™ IV are commonly used.

Are these syringes latex-free?
Yes. All Embecta insulin syringes carried by Surgo are latex-free and not made with natural rubber latex.
