BD Micro-Fine+ Penkanyle 0,5ml 30G

BD Micro-Fine+ Penkanyle 0.5ml 30G is a specialized insulin syringe that combines a moderate 0.5ml capacity with an ultra-thin 30-gauge needle. This model is designed to deliver up to 50 units of insulin or other medication with high precision while ensuring injections are as gentle as possible. The 30G needle on this syringe is extremely fine, reducing penetration force and pain, which is particularly beneficial for people who require frequent injections or have sensitive skin. Having a half-milliliter size, it offers a great balance — it is large enough to hold most average insulin doses (common for many Type 1 diabetic daily doses or Type 2 on moderate doses) but still small enough to allow very fine graduations and minimal dead space, which means accurate dosing and minimal waste. BD’s Micro-Fine+ syringes, including the 0.5ml 30G, are renowned for their quality: they have clear barrels with precise markings, plungers that glide smoothly, and needles that are reliably sharp and sterile. This particular syringe is often chosen for pediatric patients, individuals with low pain tolerance, or those who appreciate extra comfort without sacrificing dosing capability. 

Contains

The contents and features of the BD Micro-Fine+ 0.5ml 30G syringe are: 

• 0.5ml Graduated Barrel: A clear polypropylene syringe barrel capable of holding 0.5 milliliters of fluid. Markings on the barrel allow measurement typically in 1-unit increments (0.01ml per unit for U-100 insulin). The fine scale is critical for getting the dose right, whether it’s 7 units or 45 units. The clarity and quality printing of the scale ensure visibility. The barrel is attached to the needle (non-removable) in an insulin syringe design.
  
• Fixed 30G Needle (8mm or 12mm): The 0.5ml BD syringes often come with short needles. Many BD 0.5ml syringes have 8mm (5/16"") needles when they are 30G, which are considered “short” needles, though some vhave 12.7mm. Assuming this Penkanyle is similar to others in EU, likely it’s 8mm at 30G, which is ultra-fine and short. Thmade of stainless steel, triple-bevel cut for sharpness, and coated with micro-bonded silicone lubrication for a smoother insert. The 30G diameter is one of the thinnest used for subcutaneous injections, meaning the needle is very narrow; it’s designed to cause minimal pain and reduce anxiety. Despite being thin, BD ensures the needle strength and flow rate are sufficient for typical insulin viscosity.
  
• Plunger with Elastomer Piston: The plunger rod is ergonomically designed for easy handling. The black (or gray) rubber piston at the end of the plunger creates a seal with the syringe barrel so that when drawn or depressed, there’s precise control over fluid movement. This piston is typically latex-free and slides evenly without jerks, allowing for controlled injection speed.
  
• Protective Caps: A plastic cap covers the needle to keep it sterile and to prevent needle-stick injuries before use. There may be a secondary cap on the plunger side as well. Both are removed before drawing up medication. The inner needle cover sometimes also helps remove bubbles by flicking, as it can hold the syringe upside-down safely before injection.
  
• No Dead Space / Full Dose Delivery: BD’s design often ensures minimal “dead space” between the needle and the barrel after injection, meaning almost all the drawn medicine is injected, leaving virtually nothing in the syringe. This is important for dosing accuracy and especially with expensive meds or insulin, to avoid wastage.
  
• Sterility and Single Use Packaging: Each unit is sterilized and individually packaged. They are marked as single-use disposable syringes and should be discarded in a proper sharps container after use.
  

Intended for

The 0.5ml 30G BD Micro-Fine+ syringe is intended for subcutaneous injections requiring mid-range volumes with extra emphasis on patient comfort. Typical intended uses are: 

• Insulin Therapy (Comfort-Focused): It is ideal for patients (including children and adults) who inject insulin daily and want the least painful experience. A dose that’s commonly up to 50 units (0.5ml) can be administered. For example, a Type 1 diabetic who takof long-acting insulin at night and smaller doses of fast-acting insulin with meals might use these syringes for all injections. The 30G thin needle makes these multiple daily injections easier to tolerate, and the half-unit markings (if present on some models) can help those who do fine adjustments in dosing. Patients with lean build appreciate the shorter 8mm needle to avoid intramuscular injection, and pediatric patients benefit from both the short length and fine gauge.
  
• Growth Hormone or Peptide Injections: Many HGH therapies for children (for growth deficiencies) or even adults use subcutaneous shots and often require small to moderate volumes. A 0.5ml syringe can comfortably hold typical doses. Similarly, other peptide hormones or medications (like certain fertility drugs or peptide thor weight loss/other conditions) that come in multi-dose vials can be drawn and administered with high precision.
  
• Fertility Treatments (e.g., hCG or Gonadotropins): Some fertility protocols require subcutaneous injection of human chorionic gonadotropin or other hormones in dose5ml to 0.5ml. Using a 0.5ml insulin syringe with a fine needle ensures the patient can self-administer with minimal discomfort and accurately measure the dose.
  
• Cosmetic/Aesthetic Uses: If an aesthetic practitioner is doing mesotherapy or skin booster injections where about 0.05 to 0.1ml per site is injected and a total of a few mls over the face, they might load a series of 0.5ml syringes to systematically inject multiple small areas. The 30G needle and small form factor allow very controlled, superficial injections (e.g., of hyaluronic acid skin boosters or vitamins) with little pain and high preAllergy Shots (for very sensitive patients):** If a patient finds standard allergy shot needles too painful, an allergist might opt for an insulin syringe (though allergy extracts are usually given with 26-27G 1/2"" needles, in some cases where dose is small and patient comfort paramount, a 30G could be used).
  
• Veterinary Use for Small Pets: For instance, very small dogs or cats that need tiny dose insulin (and the owner wants less pain for the pet), a 0.5ml 30G could be used for better visibility of dose than a 0.3ml, if the pet’s dose is, say, 5-10 unitsr can easily see and handle the syringe. Vets sometimes use insulin syringes for precise dosing in small animals for various medications.
  
• Self-injection by Needle-Phobic Individuals: If someone must self-inject medication but has a strong fear of needles, the thinnest possible needle is advisable. A 30G is thinnersed in prefilled pens or standard syringes, so these can be recommended (if compatible with the medication) to alleviate anxiety and discomfort.
  

This particular syringe caters to users who value a tailored approach to injection comfort and accuracy. As BD highlights, offering different volume and needle combinations helps meet both patient and healthcare provider needsl 30G stands out as the choice for those requiring moderate dose injections but wanting the gentleness of the smallest possible needle. It’s essentially intended for subcutaneous use; intramuscular injections are not intended with such a short fine needle. \n \nPatients such as young children with type 1 diabetes, newly diagnosed diabetics getting used to injections, or anyone who has to inject regularly and experiences injection-site pain can greatly benefit. Additionally, because it’s half-milliliter, it avoids confusion of conversion (some older patients prefer seeing the syringe filled more rather than just a small amount in a 1ml, as it feels more concrete to them – psychological comfort in dose visualization). \n \nIn conclusion, the BD Micro-Fine+ 0.5ml 30G syringe is intended to make necessary injections as simple, accurate, and painless as possible, thereby improving adherence to therapy and overall patient comfort.
