Easy Touch 27 Gauge 1 cc 1/2 in Insulin Syringes

Mando · Nov 29, 2018

Can someone who uses these post a pic? I was wondering if they are marked in 1 unit increments, example 30, 31, 32, etc.

Also do you guys know of any fixed needle syringes that are 27 gauge, but longer? Can't seem to find any.

Thanks.

Fixed insulin syringe needle lengths do not come longer than 1/2 as they are meant for injecting insulin and a longer needle length would never be needed!

I use 27g 12.5mm or 10mm. As madman states, never seen any longer.

As others have stated, I've never seen anything longer than 1/2" for 27g or smaller. You can get a fixed needle 26g in 5/8".

Is there a reason you feel you need longer than 1/2"?

I find it truly amazing that quite a few men hold on to the idea of using larger needles, when smaller gauge shorter length work just fine. I'd bet the majority of guys who regularly post here use 1/2" 27-29g or smaller. (5/16" 30g subQ works for me).

I agree. I’ve tried 26g, 27g, and 28g, and prefer 27g 1/2” for shallow IM.

Was thinking of longer so that I would be able to inject into glute. Already inject ventroglute and deltoid, so figured a longer needle would be necessary for glute in order to hit muscle.

Have tried Subq, but I get lumps under the skin.
