What are SOL-M and SOL-Vet U-40 Insulin Syringes for Dogs and Cats?
- Insulin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the pancreas to convert sugar (glucose) in the blood to energy for the body.
- Diabetic animals are either unable to produce their own insulin or cannot use it properly.
- Insulin injections help treat diabetes in cats and dogs by normalizing the glucose level in the blood.
- Insulin syringes are necessary for administering this important drug.
- U-40 insulin is divided into 40 dosing units per milliliter.
- U-40 insulin syringes are designed to inject U-40 insulin types, such as ProZinc and Vetsulin.
- SOL syringes allow for easy, accurate dosing with half-unit, bold dosage markings and a transparent barrel.
- Needles are ultra-sharpened for injection comfort.
- These syringes have been discontinued by the manufacturer. Stock is limited.

Half the Needles are bent
Rated 3 out of 5 starsComments about SOL-VET U-40 Insulin Syringes
The first box I received came directly from the Vets office and I had no problems with the syringes, so I wanted to stick with the same brand. I have been buying these syringes from VetsRx Direct for awhile now and half, sometimes most of the Needles and the syringes themselves are bent/not straight. I end up throwing a good portion of them out. I however am happy with VetRx Direct and will use their site again.
Best I've found!

Comments about SOL-VET U-40 Insulin Syringes
We have a diabetic cat whose dose is 5.5 units of insulin. These are the only U-40 insulin syringes I could easily find that had half-unit markings which is very helpful for maintaining accuracy when delivering his insulin. Thanks!!
Love this syringe,
Rated 5 out of 5 starsComments about SOL-VET U-40 Insulin Syringes
Easy to use, great for small dosing of insulin, easy to read due to color contrast between plunger and markings....often difficult to find half unit markers with sharp, sharp point,
I would not buy this product again.

Comments about SOL-VET U-40 Insulin Syringes
These syringes are poor quality. The orange caps fall off easily (some were off before opened the bar.) And the plunger slides too easily, it's hard to keep the insulin at the right dose until the cat is injected.
Very pleased with my Sol-M Insulin Syringes.

Q
My vet started my diabetic cat out with this type of syringe: Sol-Vet [ref V3305-40] 0.3ml 30G x 1/2" (0.3mm x 12.5mm) U-40 insulin syringe with 1/2 unit markings do you offer this exact syringe? or could you clarify what 0.3ml means? Thanks.?

Verified Reply - VetRxDirect At this time [5/1/2019],VetRxDirect is no longer offering the SOL-Vet syringes for sale. Other brands of syringes for sale from our pharmacy are UltiCare, VetOne, Vetsulin, and BD. The U-40 indicates that the insulin is divided for dosing into 40 units per milliliter. Other types of insulin are U-100. It is important to make sure that the syringes are the correct type, U-40 or U-100, to match the insulin that your cat receives. 30G indicates the gauge or the circumference of the needle. The smaller the gauge, the larger around the needle is. 0.3mL means the syringe will hold ⅓ of a milliliter of insulin. If you are giving only one unit, the 0.3ml syringe is going to be the easiest size syringe to use to measure this amount. Please consult your veterinarian about what other brands of syringes would be best for your cat.

Verified Reply - VetRxDirect A ½ inch needle is the typical needle length for pet insulin syringes and is the largest needle VetRx offers for U-40 insulin syringes. Contact your veterinarian if you have concerns regarding appropriate needle lengths for your cat or dog.
