These Unisharp 1ml 29G fixed needle syringes, with coloured plungers and needle caps, come in equal quantities of each of the five colours.
Unisharp 1ml fixed needle syringes are used for injecting water soluble drugs. The 29G needle is suitable for both injecting drugs into small veins, and also injecting hormone treatments, such as human growth hormone, under the skin. The 29G needle is slightly thicker than the 30G needle.
It is alow dead space (LDS) syringe.
Orders for mixed colours are supplied with equal numbers of each colour.
The key features of the Unisharp syringe are:
Different plunger colours to reduce sharing;
Matching needle cap colour to increase recognition;
Markings in ml (rather than insulin units); and
Availability with 27G, 29G, and 30G needles (each with a different colour range).
The 'mixing up' of syringes when groups of people are injecting together has long been recognised as a significant cause of accidental sharing – and blood borne virus transmission.

By supplying syringes with coloured plungers you can now reduce blood-borne virus transmission more effectively by:
Reducing the risk of accidental sharing;
Reinforcing the importance of having your own equipment, and not sharing;
Making the issue of sharing explicit with every syringe; and
Promoting strategies to prevent accidental sharing.
We also sell a full range of separate needles and syringes with all gauges of needle from the 30G (½ inch) fine yellow needle to the 21G (2 inch) long green needle.
For ease of ordering, we can supply equal quantities of each colour, and that is what we deliver when you order product code UF29M from this page. We normally supply services mixed colours in boxes of 1,000 syringes: 200 of each colour, but you can order any number.
