Universal Fit 31G x 5mm Insulin Pen Needles - 1 unit
For diabetic patients requiring multiple daily insulin injections, thick or reused needles cause severe bruising, painful skin trauma, and lipohypertrophy (lumpy fat buildup). Universal Fit 31G x 5mm Insulin Pen Needles offer a gentle, precise clinical experience. Designed with ultra-thin 31-gauge walls, a electro-polished triple-bevel point, and silicone coating, these 5mm needles penetrate the skin effortlessly to deliver insulin into the subcutaneous layer without striking muscle tissue.
How to Use / Operate
Peel off the paper seal from a new needle. Screw the needle straight onto your insulin pen until firm. Remove the outer and inner protective caps. Dial your insulin dose, inject at a 90-degree angle, hold for 10 seconds, and safely discard the used needle into a sharps container.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these needles fit my insulin pen?
Yes, they feature a universal ISO thread design compatible with all standard insulin pens (including NovoNordisk, Eli Lilly, Sanofi, and Owen Mumford).
Can I reuse a pen needle?
No. Reusing pen needles bends the microscopic tip, strips the silicone lubricant, increases pain, and introduces bacterial infection risks.
Important Clinical Considerations
Sterile single-use device. Always unscrew and discard the needle from the pen after every injection to prevent air from entering the insulin cartridge or insulin from leaking out. Dispose of used needles in a rigid sharps container.
