BD offers safety-engineered insulin syringes in two different designs: BD SafetyGlideTM and BD Safety-LokTM.
Safety-engineered syringes are primarily designed to protect health care professionals and other caretakers from accidental needlesticks and other sharps injuries.
The sliding safety arm of the BD SafetyGlideTM syringe can be activated with one hand, while the BD Safety-LokTM syringe requires two hands to activate the sliding safety sleeve.
The BD SafetyGlideTM syringe is available in 1ml, ½ ml and 3/10 ml sizes. Safety syringes are individually wrapped in boxes of 100. To ensure maximum safety and comfort, you should never use a syringe more than once. For more details, read about the risks of needle reuse.
