Let’s explore:
The contoured base allows for more consistent 4mm injections.2†
The 4mm needle with a 5-bevel tip provides more comfortable and less painful injections.3‡
Ultra-thin wall technology increases the flow of insulin, making injections easier and giving you the confidence that you have received the full dose.4§
The wider outer cover is easier to attach to a pen device and the larger inner needle shield is easier to grip to remove before an injection.1*
Did you know that you should use a new pen needle with every injection?6
