BD Veo insulin syringes feature the shortest BD Ultra-Fine needle, 53% shorter than the 12.7-mm needle. This length is supported by recent recommendations published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings that advocate using the shortest needle first-line for all patient categories. Preferred by most patients over their current needle length, BD Veo insulin syringes provide approximately 8x-lower risk of intramuscular injection compared to a 12.7-mm needle.

  • Greater Efficacy: Efficacy equivalent to longer needles
  • Patient Choice: Preffered by over 80% patients
  • Less intimidating: Less intimidating for patients
  • Packaging contains end user directions and information.

Reduced risk of hypoglycemia

Longer needle lengths may lead to frequent IM vs subcutaneous tissue injections, which may cause unexplained hypoglycemia.

Needle length (mm)

Insulin needles come in different lengths. BD Original Needles are 12.7 mm (1/2") long, and BD Short Needles are 8 mm (5/16") long. The BD Nano Needle 4mm (3/16") and BD Mini Needle 5mm (5/32") are available only in pen needles. For a comfortable injection experience, shorter needle lengths are recommended and preferred.

Needle gauge (G)

The higher the gauge, the thinner the needle. For example, 32G is thinner than a 31G needle.Insulin needles are available in many gauges (G), or thicknesses. The higher the gauge, the thinner the needle. For example, a 32 G needle is actually thinner and more comfortable than a 29 G needle.

Thin Wall

Thin Wall: As shown in the diagram, the thin wall needle has a narrower steel wall, allowing a greater volume of fluid to pass through it. The flow rate is typically equivalent to that of a needle one gauge larger. This is especially important with very thin needles.

Permanently Attached Needle

Most commonly found in insulin and 'tuberculin' syringes. Permanently attached needles, also known as integral needles, reduce the amount of medication waste and allow accurate mixing of different medications into one syringe.

Bevels

A patented advance in injection comfort.

BD's patented 5-bevel needle tip creates a flatter, thinner surface to help penetrate the skin with significantly greater ease for a smoother and gentler injection.

5-bevel: The two additional bevels create a flatter, thinner surface that has been shown to be less painful.
