Container Options for Volume
To make sure you choose the right container, it helps to think about how many needles or lancets you use in a typical week or month. The more often you inject or test, the bigger the container you’ll need. Here are some easy guidelines based on common usage (Lovenox twice daily, B12 weekly, daily lancets):
Container Size
1.4 Quart
Approx. Syringe Capacity:
~90 syringes - Light use (approx. 1–2 months of your described use)
1.2 Gallon
Approx. Syringe Capacity:
~309 syringes - Moderate use (3–5 months)
2 Gallon
Approx. Syringe Capacity:
