About U-40 Insulin Syringes
U-40 syringes are calibrated to measure veterinary insulins like Vetsulin and Caninsulin, which are dispensed at 40 units per mL. Using a U-100 syringe with U-40 insulin (or vice versa) results in a 2.5-fold dosing error, which can cause severe hypoglycemia or undertreatment. Always match the syringe concentration to the insulin label.
Half-unit syringes are particularly useful for cats and small dogs, where fine dose adjustments matter. The 28G and 29G needles are designed for minimal discomfort during routine subcutaneous insulin injections.

Safety Note: Verify your insulin concentration (U-40 vs U-100) matches the syringe before every dose. Use a fresh syringe for each injection — do not reuse. Dispose in an approved sharps container. Always follow your veterinarian's dosing instructions.
