UNDERSTANDING MEASUREMENTS
What is an ML?
It’s exactly 1 CC: In the medical world, 1 mL (milliliter) and 1 cc (cubic centimeter) are the exact same amount. If your syringe is labeled in CCs, 1 CC is your 1 mL mark.
On a 1 mL Syringe ( Insulin syringe): The entire syringe holds exactly 1 mL. To get 1 mL, you would pull the plunger all the way back to the very top number, which is 1.0 (or 100 if it is labeled in insulin units).
On a 0.5 mL Syringe (50-unit Insulin Syringe): > The entire syringe holds exactly 0.5 mL of fluid. To get a full 0.5 mL, you would pull the plunger all the way back to the very top number, which is 50 (since it is labeled in insulin units, where 100 units equal 1 mL).
