What are insulin pen needles?
Pen needles are particularly fine needles that are screwed onto insulin pens and enable the uncomplicated and almost painless administration of insulin. These needles are available in different lengths and thicknesses so that they are suitable for every patient. To ensure maximum hygiene and safety during use, pen needles are usually packaged individually and sterile. Their fine tip makes the injection as comfortable as possible for the patient. If necessary, the body area can also be cleaned with a skin antiseptic before the injection.
Insulin pens in combination with the matching Ultra Fine pen needles enable precise dosing of insulin, which is particularly important for regulating blood glucose levels. Thanks to their fineness and user-friendliness, pen needles have become an indispensable accessory in insulin therapy.
Advantages of pen needles in insulin therapy
The use of pen needles for injecting insulin has a number of advantages that make life easier for both medical staff and patients.
Precision: Pen needles are designed in such a way that an exact dosage of insulin is possible. This is particularly important for the precise regulation of blood glucose levels in diabetics. Even small fluctuations in dosage can have fatal effects on a person's glucose balance. With the help of pen needles, precise injections can be given to keep blood sugar levels stable and avoid complications.
Comfort: Modern pen needles are particularly fine, which reduces the pain of insertion to a minimum. Daily insulin injections are therefore less stressful and painful for patients with diabetes. The thin pen needles are particularly suitable for vulnerable groups such as children, older people or patients with sensitive skin. The reduced sensation of pain during injections can result in patients adhering to their therapy more consistently.
Safety: Another important aspect is safety, which is guaranteed with pen needles. The single use and sterile packaging protect against contamination and inflammation. This is particularly important as diabetics have to perform daily injections and are therefore protected from potential health risks.
Areas of application and users of pen needles
Pen needles are primarily for diabetics who have to inject insulin every day. Their flexibility and ease of use make pen needles ideal for use at home as well as in medical facilities such as clinics, surgeries and nursing homes. Pen needles are ideal for use in medical facilities in particular, as they allow insulin to be injected quickly and hygienically.
For children, the elderly and people with sensitive skin, special needles should be used that are even thinner and shorter to make the insertion as comfortable as possible. These individual customization options make pen needles a practical and universal aid in insulin therapy.
The pen needles are also suitable for GLP-1 therapies with Ozempic, Mounjaro or Wegovy, which are frequently used for weight reduction.
The right choice of pen needles
Choosing the right pen needles is crucial for successful treatment. They should be adapted to the respective patient and their needs. There are a number of factors to consider:
Needle length: Pen needles are available in different lengths. Typically, pen needles are available in 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm, but also in other lengths. The correct length should depend on the patient's individual body condition.
Needle fineness: The thickness of the pen needle is also an important factor. Finer needles are gentler on the skin and also minimize pain during insertion. They are therefore ideal for patients who are sensitive to injections or who need frequent injections.
Use and care of pen needles
When using pen needles, there are a few things to bear in mind to ensure patient protection.
Single use
It is essential that pen needles are only used once. Repeated use poses an increased risk of infection and can cause the needle to become blunt, making the injection more painful and less accurate. Only single use ensures hygienic and safe insulin injections.
Safe disposal
Pen needles should always be disposed of properly. As the needles are sharp and potentially infectious, they should always be disposed of in special containers for medical waste. Most surgeries have needle bins in which needles can be disposed of. This prevents injuries and the spread of infection from contaminated needles.
