Caninsulin syringes - benefits

The benefits are as follows:

• The syringes have graduated marks every 1 UI, making it easier to inject small dosages (especially for cats and small dogs suffering from diabetes).
• The needle of the syringes is crimped, limiting the amount of dead space at the tip, thereby minimising the amount of Caninsulin lost each time it is injected.
• Each syringe is packaged in a sterile wrapper.
• Syringes are available in 2 sizes:
  • 0.5 ml with a 29 G needle
  • 1 ml with a 29 G needle

Caninsulin is a pork insulin, and is used to treat diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats in order to regulate glycaemia (level of blood sugar).

Caninsulin injections must be administered subcutaneously; in other words, into the fat layer between the skin and the muscle. This is done by taking a fold of skin between the thumb and the index finger and injecting the Caninsulin into the skin fold under the thumb and index finger.
