About Injection Supplies in New Zealand
Insulin syringes, alcohol swabs and sharps containers, held in stock in Melbourne and dispatched the same business day on orders placed before 1 pm Melbourne time. Standard is estimated at 4–7 business days and express at 2–5 business days after dispatch, tracked to New Zealand. We do not require a prescription to order any of them; they are sterile, single-use consumables sold sealed and as labelled.
Insulin syringes in 20-packs — singly or in bulk quantities of 2, 5 and 10 packs — 70% isopropyl alcohol swabs in 20-packs, and a 250 mL sharps container. Each is sterile or single-use as its own specification states, and each is sold in the quantity people actually order rather than a bulk carton. Prices and current stock are on the cards above.
These are stocked because they are bought together. A vial on its own is rarely the whole order, and sourcing the consumables separately means two deliveries, two dispatch windows and two lots of postage. Orders placed before the 1 pm Melbourne cutoff on a business day are dispatched the same business day, tracked to New Zealand; standard shipping is NZ$18.99 and express NZ$39.99.
The bundles pair these consumables with a diluent vial at a lower combined price than buying each separately. Every bundle lists its exact contents and the saving, and each item inside one is the same product sold on its own page here.
Each product carries its own specification and its own handling notes — gauge, length, graduation, alcohol concentration, capacity. What any of them is used for, and how, is a matter for the person using them and their qualified healthcare professional. We supply the items and their specifications, not directions for their use. You must be 18 or over to purchase.

Common questions
Are insulin syringes in stock, and how fast do they ship?
Stock is held in Melbourne and the status on each card is the live one. Orders placed before 1 pm Melbourne time on a business day are dispatched the same business day. Standard is estimated at 4–7 business days and express at 2–5 business days after dispatch, tracked to New Zealand; estimates are a guide and are not guaranteed.
Do I need a prescription to order insulin syringes?
We do not require a prescription to order syringes, swabs or a sharps container. They are sterile, single-use consumables sold sealed and as labelled. What a syringe is used with may itself be a prescription medicine, and that medicine's preparation and use belong with its prescriber, pharmacist and product information.
What size are the insulin syringes?
0.5 mL with 0.01 mL graduations, and a 31G / 0.25 mm × 6 mm needle, supplied 20 to a pack. They are the fixed-needle type — the needle is bonded to the barrel rather than sold separately — which is what most people mean when they search for insulin needles.
What alcohol concentration are the swabs?
70% isopropyl alcohol on a 2-ply non-woven swab, 3 cm × 6 cm, each individually wrapped in an easy-tear sachet and supplied in 20s. 70% is the standard concentration rather than a higher one: the remaining water content slows evaporation enough for the alcohol to act on the surface instead of flashing off it.
What is the difference between the two swab packs?
The solution and the pad size. Both are 20-packs, individually sealed and single-use, and both carry 70% isopropyl alcohol. The second pack adds 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and its pad is 6 cm × 6 cm rather than 3 cm × 6 cm. Chlorhexidine causes hypersensitivity reactions in some people, which is why the plain 70% isopropyl pack stays on the shelf beside it rather than being replaced by it.
How big is the sharps container?
250 mL, the small size intended for personal use rather than a clinical wall-mounted unit — the size that suits a domestic setting or travel.
Can I buy these separately from the vials?
Yes. Every consumable here is sold on its own page in its own pack size. The bundles exist because most orders include both, not because the items are only sold together.
How fast is dispatch?
Orders placed before 1 pm Melbourne time on a business day are dispatched the same business day, tracked to New Zealand. Standard shipping is NZ$18.99 and express is NZ$39.99. Delivery estimates are a guide and are not guaranteed.
