BD Ultra Fine Pen Needles (5 Piece)

This product consists of sterile, single-use pen needles designed for use with insulin pens. These needles are engineered to facilitate the subcutaneous delivery of insulin. The design aims to optimize the injection experience by reducing the force required for medication delivery and ensuring appropriate needle penetration depth.

The mechanism of action involves attaching the pen needle to a compatible insulin pen device. Upon activation of the pen, the needle penetrates the skin, allowing for the controlled release of insulin from the pen's reservoir into the subcutaneous tissue. The thin-walled cannula construction is intended to promote a consistent and accurate flow rate of the medication during injection.

Key features include a 4mm (5/32 inch) needle length and a 0.23mm (32 gauge) needle size, which are among the smallest available for insulin pen delivery. The needles are constructed from non-toxic, non-pyrogenic stainless steel.

The design is intended to require significantly less thumb force for medication dispensing compared to other options, potentially enhancing user comfort. The sterile nature of the needles ensures they are safe for medical use and are intended for single-patient, single-use applications.

These pen needles are utilized by individuals managing diabetes who use insulin pens for their therapy. This includes both adult and pediatric patients. Caregivers and healthcare professionals administering insulin to patients are also users of this product.

The product is suitable for self-administration by patients and for use in clinical settings.

Typical applications involve the daily or as-needed injection of insulin for the management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. They are used for delivering various types of insulin formulations compatible with insulin pen devices. The 4mm length is generally suitable for most individuals, minimizing the risk of intramuscular injection.

Important usage notes include verifying that the packaging is intact before use, as damaged packaging may compromise sterility. These needles are designed for single use only and should not be reused. Resterilization is not recommended.

The product should be stored in a cool, dry environment and kept out of reach of children. Proper disposal of used needles according to local guidelines is essential to prevent needlestick injuries.
