Half-Unit Graduations for Smaller Insulin Doses
The 0.3ml Micro-Fine syringe features half-unit markings, allowing doses to be measured in 0.5-unit increments. This provides a finer measurement scale than whole-unit graduations when administering smaller prescribed quantities of U100 insulin.
Important Product Update: BD Is Now embecta
BD's Diabetes Care business became an independent company called embecta in April 2022.
The familiar BD Micro-Fine insulin syringes are now supplied under the embecta Micro-Fine name. According to the manufacturer, the products retain the same materials, manufacturing processes and quality control standards.
Same product specifications and quality standards, now with new embecta branding.
During the packaging transition, customers may receive either BD or embecta-branded packaging, depending on stock availability.
