All-in-One Insulin Syringe and Sharps System for Diabetic Cats and Dogs
Product Description
The UltiCare VetRx UltiGuard Safe Pack (U-100, 0.3 cc, 31G x 5/16", 100 ct) is a complete, all-in-one diabetes care kit that pairs premium human-grade insulin syringes with a built-in sharps disposal container. Designed for use with U-100 insulin in cats and dogs, these syringes feature a fine 31-gauge needle for a gentle, low-discomfort injection and half-unit markings for highly precise dosing. The dual-chamber UltiGuard container dispenses new syringes from below and safely stores used ones on top, eliminating the need for a separate sharps container at home.
Benefits
- All-in-One Dispense and Dispose System: The UltiGuard Safe Pack's dual-chamber design lets you access fresh syringes from the bottom and safely dispose of used ones at the top, without needing a separate sharps container.
- Half-Unit Markings for Precision: These syringes include half-unit markings, making it easier to accurately draw up smaller or fractional insulin doses for more precise diabetes management.
- Ultra-Fine 31-Gauge Needle: The thinner 31-gauge needle has a smaller circumference than 28G or 29G needles, helping minimize discomfort during each injection for sensitive or smaller pets.
- Short 5/16-Inch Needle Length: The shorter 5/16-inch (8mm) needle is ideal for delivering insulin subcutaneously in pets, making it especially suitable for small or thin-skinned animals.
- Human-Grade Syringe Quality: Built to human-grade standards, each syringe features a tri-bevel tip that is micro-polished and silicone-lubricated for a smooth, comfortable needle entry.
- 50-State Disposal Compliance: The built-in sharps container follows safe needle disposal standards across all 50 states, making the whole system safe and legally approved for home use.
- Compatible with Major U-100 Insulins: These syringes work with Levemir, Lantus, Humulin N, and any other U-100 strength insulin prescribed by your veterinarian for your pet.
- Pet Diabetes Education Included: Packaging includes a QR code and bilingual instructions (English and Spanish) for educational resources on managing pet diabetes and giving injections at home.
How to Use
Directions for Use
- Veterinarian Prescription Required: This is a prescription product; only a licensed veterinarian can authorize U-100 syringes for your pet, so never use without their guidance.
- Use with U-100 Insulin Only: These syringes are calibrated exclusively for U-100 insulin; using them with a different concentration such as U-40 will cause incorrect and potentially dangerous dosing.
- Learn Injection Technique First: Ask your veterinarian to demonstrate the correct injection method before giving insulin to your pet at home for the first time.
- Dispense from the Lower Chamber: New syringes are stored in the lower chamber of the UltiGuard Safe Pack and can be accessed quickly and easily for each injection.
- Single-Use Only: Each syringe is for one-time use only; reusing syringes can compromise sterility, increase infection risk, and lead to inaccurate dosing for your pet.
- Dispose Safely After Use: After each injection, pop the used syringe into the top of the Safe Pack, then turn the wheel on the side to secure it safely away in the upper chamber.
- Follow Local Disposal Guidelines: Once all syringes are used and the container is full, dispose of the entire Safe Pack following your state and local sharps disposal regulations.
Disclaimer: This usage information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any insulin dosage for your pet.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Prescription Only Product: This product requires a valid veterinary prescription; do not purchase or use without authorization from a licensed veterinarian for your pet's safety.
- U-100 Use Only: This syringe is specifically calibrated for U-100 insulin; using it with U-40 insulin will result in inaccurate dosing that could seriously harm your diabetic pet.
- Correct Syringe Size Matters: Using the wrong syringe size directly leads to incorrect insulin dosing; always confirm with your vet that you are using the right syringe for your pet's prescribed insulin.
- Keep Away from Children and Pets: Store the Safe Pack out of reach of children and other animals at all times to prevent accidental needlestick injuries in the home.

- Keep Out of Reach: Always keep the Safe Pack in a location inaccessible to children and other pets to prevent accidental needlestick injuries at home.
