Reduced IM injection risk

By delivering subcutaneous injections, the 5-mm pen needle helps reduce the risk of intramuscular (IM) injections that can increase the risk of hypoglycemia in patients, regardless of their body mass index (BMI).1–3

Thin wall technology

Our needles retain their extremely fine external dimensions but with a wider inner diameter, improving insulin flow rate and requiring less force.4

OSHA compliance

The insulin pen needle helps meet the OSHA requirement to evaluate safer devices as they become available.5 It is the only safety pen needle that passively conceals the needle in the front and back after use, reducing nurse exposure to the needle.

Rigorous testing

The pen needle is rigorously tested for fit, function and dose accuracy.

Single-handed injection technique

Because the AutoShield Duo pen needle does not require a pinch-up technique, the risk of needlestick injury during injection may be reduced.
