What are the best smallest syringes to use for subcutaneous injections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Depends on what you are injecting, needles are most important for sq injections, 25 or 27 gauge are the best and then you have Insulin syringes, 1, 3 or 5 cc syringes, and the prepackaged syringes for blood-thinners such as Lovenox (enoxaparin) or arixtra, to name a few.
