Frequently Asked Questions
What needle gauges are available in this collection, and does gauge affect the injection experience?
▼
The U40 syringes in this collection are available with 29g and 30g needles. Both are fine-gauge needles suited to subcutaneous administration, with 30g being marginally finer and therefore potentially more comfortable for the animal. The choice between the two will often come down to individual preference or the guidance of a veterinary professional.
Are the U40 syringes in this collection single-use?
▼
Yes. All U40 syringes with fixed needles in this collection are single-use devices and should be disposed of safely in an appropriate sharps container after each use. Reuse of fixed needle syringes risks contamination, needle blunting, and inaccurate dosing due to potential damage to the barrel or needle.
