Insulin syringe. What is it

According to world statistics, more than four percent of the entire adult population suffers from a disease called diabetes mellitus. Despite the "sweet" concept, this affliction is a huge problem for a sick person. Scientists have long proven that diabetes can be inherited. However, do not be scared if there are or are patients of this kind in your family. Diabetes mellitus is not a viral disease. In addition, they can not become infected, because this disease is not caused by bacteria. A diabetic patient constantly needs medicines. This is the so-called insulin. The fact is that with diabetes in the blood of a person this hormone is not enough. As a result, sugar is simply not processed in the patient's body, which can lead to thrombosis and so on. Insulin is the hormone of the pancreas. It is of great importance in the daily work of human organs and systems. If it is not enough, a man or woman is forced to follow a special diet and administer a daily dose of insulin. This can be done with the help of special syringes, which will be discussed later in the article.

An insulin syringe consists of a special body, a needle and a piston. In fact, this kind of device is not much different from an ordinary medical syringe. The only thing, it is much smaller. To date, people are increasingly using more modern syringes. For example, insulin syringe-pens. Their difference is as follows. Such a handle consists, first of all, of a so-called insulin sleeve, which is often called a cartridge or a cartridge. The syringe also includes a needle and a special mechanism that forces the piston to operate automatically. Insulin syringe pen in non-working condition should be stored in a specially designed case for it. The cap is put on the needle. In general, an insulin syringe of this type contains a certain dose of the hormone itself. There are pens, a dose of 0.5 U or, for example, one unit.

Of course, using a syringe pen is much more convenient. If you compare with an ordinary syringe, perform the procedure and inject the injection with the help of its person can independently. In addition, thanks to a special mechanism, the injection is done quickly. Just press the button assigned for this. We should not forget that the injections with such a pen are less painful. This is because the insulin syringe pen has a very short and thin needle. It is convenient to carry, because the case does not take up much space in a bag or even a pocket. This is a reusable syringe. This is another plus. The most famous manufacturers of such "pens" are now considered to be "Plivapen" and "Humapen".

An insulin syringe pen should have a special window, on which the scale will be applied. With the help of this patient the person will be able to easily control the dose of insulin in the future, establishing exactly the amount that he needs specifically. As for replacing the so-called cartridge in the syringe, it does not take much time. A person can change the cartridge in two minutes.

An insulin syringe pen can be purchased at any pharmacy. It should be noted that such devices have become popular all over the world. Use a syringe pen at any time. You do not need to spend a large amount of your precious time on preparing a syringe, handling the injection site and the like. The cost of the pen depends on the brand of the manufacturer, on the volume of the sleeve and other parameters. To establish the necessary dose of your body for insulin, it is possible only with the help of a specialist on the basis of special blood tests.
