Look at the markings closely bc TB SYRINGE are in MILLILITERS while that of a INSULIN SYRINGE is in UNITS.
Moreover TB syringes are by convention only available in one size ONE ML, YET the same is NOT true of INSULIN syringes which, depending upon manufacturer, are available in 100, 30, and 50 IU sizes.
Does that matter? Not really bc 100 units equals ML!
That being said TB syringes are NOT made for pinning insulin.
The clear advantage of a TB syringe is the needle can be removed, while many insulin syringes needles are fixed into position, to prevent "pop off".
The HUGE difference in needles does exist bc TB syringes are essentially LUER LOCK while few if any insulin syringes are.
So if one tries to use a TB syringe wo a lure lock NEEDLE chances are the needle will pop, off if used for "Slinimg", because the pressures generated can be quite high.
The tendency for "pop off" is eliminated with a TB Luer Lok syringe.
Finally I've always recommended TB syringes for you SLINNERS bc they eliminate the chance of contamination bc of "backfilling", the latter being required for fixed INSULIN NEEDLE/SYRINGES.
