Benefits & User Value

• Short needle length (5mm): A 5 mm length reduces the risk of injecting into muscle (which can affect absorption) and is suitable for a wide range of adults, offering a “safer” sub-cutaneous delivery option compared with longer lengths.

• Comfort-oriented design: The combination of 5-bevel tip, thin-wall technology, electropolished finish and universal fit helps reduce pain/discomfort during injection.

• Value & availability: A 100-needle pack offers good value for users requiring regular injections.

• Versatility: Since these needles are universally compatible with major insulin pen devices, switching pen brands or devices does not necessarily require changing needle system.

• Quality & specification transparency: The product is clearly specified, with standard compliance and manufacturing features highlighted, making it suitable for healthcare professionals and users alike.
