Insulin pen needles

Description

CarePoint Pen Needles 31G 6mm are sterile, single-use insulin pen needles designed for subcutaneous administration of insulin and other injectable medications via compatible pen devices. Each needle features an ultra-fine 31-gauge, 6 mm stainless-steel cannula with a triple-bevel tip, electropolished and siliconised for smoother skin penetration and improved injection comfort. The design incorporates a thin-wall (Maxflow-style) cannula to allow a higher flow rate and reduced injection time while maintaining structural integrity and anti-coring characteristics (minimising fragmentation). The needles are supplied in boxes of 100 and are intended to fit most standard insulin and GLP-1 pen devices with a universal screw thread.

Bnefits

Ultra-fine 31G, 6 mm needle length designed for comfortable subcutaneous injections.
Triple-bevel needle tip supports smoother skin entry and potentially less insertion pain.
Electropolished stainless-steel cannula with high-grade siliconisation to reduce insertion force and improve glide.
Thin-wall / Maxflow-type technology helps increase medication flow and reduce overall injection time.
Anti-coring design to minimise the risk of needle fragmentation during use.
Universal pen compatibility with most major insulin and GLP-1 pen delivery devices that use standard screw-on pen needles.
Individually sterile packed needles for single-patient, single-use safety.
Suitable for routine daily injections when used according to professional guidance.

Indications

Subcutaneous injection of insulin using compatible insulin pen devices.
Subcutaneous administration of GLP-1 receptor agonists and other pen-based injectable therapies where a 31G 6 mm needle is appropriate.
Use by adults and suitable paediatric patients as directed by a healthcare professional.

Composition

Cannula: medical-grade stainless steel, electropolished.
Coating: medical-grade silicone lubricant applied to the cannula for smoother insertion.
Hub: medical-grade plastic (polymer) with standard pen-needle screw fitting.
Sterilisation: sterile, single-use device (commonly ethylene oxide sterilised; exact method per manufacturer labelling).
Latex-free construction (as is standard for modern insulin pen needles, unless otherwise stated on pack).

Formulation

Medical device – sterile single-use pen needle (no medicinal active ingredient).
Needle size: 31G gauge, 6 mm length.
Triple-bevel, thin-wall cannula to support Maxflow-type performance.
Individually capped with outer and inner protective caps for hygienic handling.

Packaging

Box of 100 CarePoint Pen Needles 31G 6mm.
Each needle individually packaged with an outer protective cap and inner needle shield.
Outer carton labelled with needle size (31G 6mm), quantity (100), lot number and expiry date.
Supplied as retail or clinic-use boxes; outer shipping cartons contain multiple boxes depending on wholesaler configuration.

Usage

Check the outer box and individual needle packaging for integrity and expiry date before use; do not use if damaged or expired.
Remove the protective seal and screw the needle straight onto the pen device using the outer cap to avoid accidental needlestick injury.
Pull off the outer cap and retain it for later disposal; then remove the inner cap to expose the needle.
Prime the pen according to the medication manufacturer’s instructions (e.g. dial a small dose and expel until a drop is visible).
Insert the needle into a lifted skin fold at the angle recommended by your healthcare professional (commonly 90° for short needles) into the subcutaneous tissue.
Press the injection button fully and hold the pen in place for several seconds (often 5–10 seconds, depending on pen instructions) to ensure the full dose is delivered.
Withdraw the needle from the skin, carefully recap with the outer cap if self-injecting, then unscrew the needle from the pen.
Dispose of the used needle immediately into an approved sharps container; never reuse or share needles.
Store the pen without a needle attached between injections to reduce the risk of air entry and leakage.

Contraindications

Not for intramuscular or intravenous injection; intended for subcutaneous use only.
Do not use in patients with known allergies or hypersensitivity to stainless steel, silicone or any material used in the needle, unless assessed as safe by a healthcare professional.
Do not reuse, re-sterilise or share needles between patients.
Do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged, opened, or past the expiry date.

Adverse Effects

Local injection site reactions such as pain, redness, bruising or small amounts of bleeding.
Possible local infection if aseptic injection technique is not followed.
Lipodystrophy or skin thickening at injection sites if injection locations are not rotated appropriately (related to injection practice and medication rather than the needle alone).
Very rare risk of needle bending or breakage if misused, forced or reused contrary to instructions.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry environment at room temperature.
Keep away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and moisture.
Keep in original packaging until use to protect from contamination and physical damage.
Keep out of sight and reach of children.
Dispose of used needles in accordance with local sharps and clinical waste regulations.
