A 1mL insulin syringe with the needle permanently fixed to the barrel, so there is almost no dead space and almost nothing left behind after the plunger bottoms out. That is the whole point of the design: when a dose is measured in units, what stays in the hub is a meaningful share of it. The 27G x 13mm needle is fine and short. Confirm with your vet that the graduation scale on these syringes matches the concentration of the insulin you have been dispensed before you use them.
Supplied as 1mL with a fixed 27G x 13mm (0.4 x 13mm) needle, box of 100. For millilitre-graduated small doses see the Terumo Tuberculin Syringe. Part of the Terumo range.

Handling
Single use only. Do not re-sheath a used needle. Dispose of used sharps in an approved sharps container — never in household or farm waste. Sale and possession of hypodermic needles and syringes is regulated in some Australian states and territories; buy and use them in line with your local requirements.
