Description
The VanishPoint U-100 Insulin Syringe pairs an unobstructed view of the U-100 scale with a needle that retracts into the barrel at the end of the injection. Short 5 mm, 8 mm and 12.7 mm needles support subcutaneous delivery, and half-unit markings on the 0.5mL configurations support precise small doses.
- Half-Unit Markings – The 0.5mL configurations carry half-unit increments for precise small-dose delivery.
- Optimum Scale View – The integrated safety mechanism keeps the scale unobstructed, promoting dose preparation ease and accuracy.
- Short Needle Options – The 5 mm and 8 mm lengths help ensure subcutaneous delivery and may not require a pinch-up technique.
- Low Dead Space – The design minimizes medication left behind in the hub after injection.
U-100 Insulin Syringes with Retraction Built In
Insulin dosing repeats many times a day on a unit, and every repetition is another exposure opportunity with a conventional syringe. This design retracts the needle directly from the patient when the plunger is fully depressed, and the syringe is non-reusable once activated. Both of the clinician's hands stay behind the sharp during activation, and the retracted syringe takes up minimal disposal volume.
Two barrel sizes cover the dosing range: 0.5mL configurations with half-unit increments for smaller doses, and 1mL configurations for standard dosing. Needles run from 30G x 3/16 in to 29G x 1/2 in across the nine configurations. All configurations ship 100 per box and 800 per case for facility stocking.
Features and Benefits
Dose Accuracy
- Unobstructed Scale – The safety mechanism is integrated so it does not block the U-100 graduations.
- Half-Unit Increments – Available on the 0.5mL configurations for fine small-dose control.
- Low Dead Space – Less insulin remains in the hub after the dose is delivered.
Safety and Comfort
- Passive Retraction – The needle withdraws into the barrel on the final plunger stroke.
- Triple-Beveled Needle – The lubricated needle is designed for patient comfort.
- Shorter Needle Choices – The 5 mm and 8 mm needles support subcutaneous delivery with less tissue depth.

Why Choose VanishPoint U-100 Insulin Syringe?
Insulin programs run on repetition, so a syringe that protects on every single dose compounds its value across a unit. This line combines that protection with the scale clarity and short needles that insulin delivery depends on.
- Accuracy on Every Dose – An unobstructed scale view supports correct draw-up, dose after dose.
- Protection That Repeats – Passive retraction guards the highest-frequency injection task in the facility.
- Built for Insulin, Not Adapted – Half-unit markings and 5 mm needles are designed into the line rather than added onto a general syringe.
- Two Barrel Sizes – The 0.5mL and 1mL configurations cover pediatric-scale and standard adult dosing.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Which configurations have half-unit markings?
The two 0.5mL configurations with catalog numbers 15391 and 15371 carry half-unit increments. The remaining 0.5mL and all 1mL configurations use standard U-100 graduations.
What needle lengths are available?
Needles come in 3/16 in (5 mm), 5/16 in (8 mm) and 1/2 in (12.7 mm) lengths. The shorter lengths help ensure the dose lands in subcutaneous tissue.
Do the short needles require a pinch-up technique?
The manufacturer notes that shorter needles may not require a pinch-up technique. Follow your facility's insulin administration protocol for technique selection.
How does the retraction activate?
Fully depressing the plunger after the dose retracts the needle into the barrel while it is still in the patient. The syringe is then non-reusable and goes directly into a sharps container.
How many syringes are in a case?
Each case holds 800 syringes, packed 100 per box in eight boxes. All nine configurations are sold by the full case.
