Product Information

This is a 3 mL syringe. Each line measures in 0.1 increments until it reaches a total capacity of 3 mL. Subcutaneous Under the skin into the fatty layer. Used for less irritating substances than are intramuscular injections. Insulin and heparin are given subcutaneously. Insulin Syringe Small syringe, with a 0.3- to 1-mL capacity, calibrated for specific insulin mixtures in standardized units.

Intradermal (ID) Shallow injection to be given just under the skin between the dermis and the epidermis. Used mainly for skin tests. Not used to deliver medications. 0.1 mL is the usual volume for skin test injections. A 1-mL syringe is used. This is a 100 unit insulin syringe. Each line measures in 2 increments until it reaches a total capacity of 100 units. Tuberculin Syringe Small-volume syringe, with a 1-mL capacity, used for intradermal skin tests and small-volume injections in frail at-risk populations. Tip: If you hear someone say give “10 cc” of this medication, cc is the same as mL. Therefore, 10 mL equals 10 cc. Reading a 10 mL Syringe Products and replacement parts for use with laboratory syringes; includes syringe caps, tubing, cleaning products, and replacement parts such as needles, barrels, and plungers.

Reading a 100 unit Insulin Syringe

BD Plastipak 20ml Syringe is a precision drug delivery device* that is an essential part of your daily patient care toolkit, which you can use across a range of critical applications and departments. Adaptor: this is the area where you screw on a needle (if you were giving an intramuscular injection etc.) or onto the IV hub of the patient’s IV to give a medication. The ENFit Single Use range of enteral syringes has been developed to deliver enteral feeds, medicines and flushes safely to neonatal, paediatric and adult patients throughout hospital. Features Parenteral Medications Injectable medications. Excludes oral, nasogastric, gastric, topical, and intestinal routes.

Intramuscular (IM) Into the muscle. The muscle is able to accept more irritating substances than other injectable routes. This is a 10 mL syringe. Each line measures in 0.5 increments until it reaches a total capacity of 10 mL.

Latex-free stopper prevents leakage of medication around the plunger and acts as an indicator for measuring the syringe contents. This is a 5 mL syringe. Each line measures in 0.2 increments until it reaches a total capacity of 5 mL. Therefore, I will be discussing how to read 5 different types of syringe you will encounter as a nurse, such as: Barrel with a readable scale: this is where you will match up the top of the plunger seal (see image at the side) and the line on the scale with the amount of medication you need to administer. Most scales on the barrel are in mL (milliliters) or cc (cubic centimeters). If you are administering insulin you will use a syringe that measures in units. NOTE: always determine the capacity of your syringe because each syringe has different measurements on its scale..hence each line represents a different increment of measurement (more information on this below).
