Composition
Main materials: Prozinc U40 syringes are made of high quality medical polypropylene which ensures resistance and safety during handling. The transparency of the cylinder allows you to clearly see the insulin solution and the presence of any air bubbles, making it easier to prepare the dose. The needle is made of stainless steel, ultra-sharp and with atraumatic treatment to reduce discomfort during the injection. The needle tips are designed to easily penetrate the subcutaneous tissue, minimizing pain and skin trauma. Each syringe is equipped with a protective cap made of sterile plastic material to keep the needle intact and free of contamination until use.
Graduation: The syringes have clear and indelible markings, with detailed numbering up to 1ML (equal to 40 units of insulin for each milliliter, U40), to ensure complete precision in withdrawing and administering the prescribed dose. The graduated scales are printed with non-toxic and resistant ink, so as to guarantee readability throughout the entire period of use. Latex-free: the syringes are latex-free, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions in animals or those who handle the device. Each component has been selected to ensure biocompatibility and integrity of the insulin solution, protecting the stability of the drug and therapeutic efficacy upon administration.
Contraindications
The Prozinc U40 Veterinary Insulin Syringes 1ML must not be used with solutions other than U40 insulin, as the different concentration could lead to serious dosing errors, with consequent risks of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Do not use in case of known sensitivity to one of the materials constituting the syringe (for example allergic reactions to polypropylene or other plastic components) either in animals or in people administering the drug. They are contraindicated in animals with signs of local infection or wounds at the site of administration: it is advisable to always consult the veterinarian before use in such situations. Never reuse the same syringe for multiple administrations: reuse can cause infections, bacterial contamination, loss of sterility and malfunction of the needle, compromising both the effectiveness of the therapy and the well-being of the animal. Do not use the syringe in the presence of visibly damaged material or if the integrity of the package is not guaranteed.
If your pet shows signs of abnormal pain, swelling, persistent redness or other adverse reactions at the injection site, immediately discontinue use of the syringe and consult your veterinarian. Failure to comply with the instructions can represent a significant danger both for the recipient animal and for those who administer the product. The Prozinc U40 1ML Veterinary Insulin Syringes are disposable and must not be shared between different animals to avoid the risk of transmission of infections or other pathologies.
Safety of the drug for the species
The use of Prozinc U40 1ML Veterinary Insulin Syringes has been designed to minimize the risks associated with the administration of insulin in pets such as dogs and cats. The precision of the dosage reduces the possibility of complications resulting from administration errors or variations in the amount of insulin inoculated. The presence of a thin and sharp needle decreases the perception of pain and stress for the animal, which represents an essential aspect in the management of chronic diabetes. The absence of latex in the syringes prolongs the safety of use in subjects predisposed to allergic reactions, both animals and people.
The adoption of disposable syringes drastically limits the risks of cross-contamination between one injection and another, contributing to the prevention of infections, abscesses or other local side effects. The clarity of the graduation helps both veterinarians and owners in identifying the dose, ensuring that insulin therapy takes place in conditions of absolute safety. The safety in handling the syringe, with a protective cap on the needle, reduces the risk of accidental needle sticks and contact with biological material. The product meets strict quality criteria required for veterinary use and guarantees reliable results even in prolonged treatment programs.
Precautions
The use of Prozinc U40 1ML Veterinary Insulin Syringes requires some precautions both in the preparation and disposal phases. Correct hygiene of hands and work surfaces must be ensured before each use. The environment in which the injection is performed must be clean, to reduce the risk of accidental bacterial contamination. It is recommended to remove the protective needle cap only immediately before administration and never manipulate the syringe unnecessarily. Avoid touching the needle to prevent the possibility of accidental needle sticks or contamination of the tip. Make sure to expel any air bubbles before the injection, to ensure a safe and effective therapy.
As regards disposal, it is imperative to deposit used syringes in special containers for sharps waste, avoiding throwing them into household waste. Keep syringes and packaging out of the reach of children and non-recipient animals. It is advisable to always follow the instructions provided by the veterinarian regarding the frequency and dosage of injections, avoiding independently modifying insulin therapy. Do not use syringes that are damaged, deformed or have a bent needle.
In the event of accidents, such as accidental pricks with a contaminated needle, contact your doctor promptly. The syringe should only be used for the administration of U40 veterinary insulin and the graduated scale is not suitable for other drugs or solutions. Before each administration it is good practice to read and follow all the instructions given in the package and recommended by the veterinarian.
Method of administration
The Prozinc U40 1ML Veterinary Insulin Syringe must be used exclusively for subcutaneous injection following the specific instructions of the treating veterinarian. Before administration, it is necessary to gently shake the insulin bottle and draw up the prescribed quantity using the graduated scale of the syringe. Expel any air bubbles by lightly pushing the plunger until you reach the exact dose and see a drop of solution at the tip of the needle. The injection area should be clean, chosen according to the rotations recommended by the specialist (usually between the shoulder blades or in the hips). Gently lift the skin forming a small skin fold, then insert the needle with a quick and firm but delicate movement to reduce discomfort for the animal.
Administer the full dose by slowly and steadily pushing the plunger of the syringe, making sure that all the medicine is injected. Remove the needle carefully and apply gentle pressure to the injection site for a few seconds, if necessary, to prevent liquid from leaking. After use, the syringe must be immediately disposed of in a special, properly closed and puncture-resistant container. Never reuse syringes and do not share between different animals.
Treatment program
The Prozinc U40 1ML Veterinary Insulin Syringes are included in therapeutic regimes that involve daily or more frequent administration of insulin for diabetic pets under close veterinary supervision. The treatment program varies based on the severity of the disease, the animal's glycemic profile and individual responses to therapy. In the initial phase, doses may undergo adjustments until glycemic levels stabilize, at which point the use of U40 graduated syringes becomes essential to maintain regularity in administration.
Injections must be given every day, preferably following regular schedules, often in conjunction with meals, in order to maximize the effectiveness of insulin and optimize absorption. The veterinarian will define the dosage and frequency of injections based on the animal's blood tests and symptoms. It is essential to keep careful records of administrations, doses and any changes in the animal's behavior or symptoms, immediately reporting any anomalies to the specialist.
