Insupen Pen Needle 6Mm 100

Description:

Insupen Pen Needle 6mm 100 is a sterile, single-use medical device designed for precise and comfortable subcutaneous injection of insulin and other injectable diabetes medications using compatible insulin pens. Featuring a short 6 mm length and ultra-fine 31g gauge stainless steel needle, it is engineered to minimize pain, reduce tissue trauma, and support accurate dose delivery. Each needle is individually packaged to maintain sterility and is compatible with most major insulin pen brands, making it a convenient and reliable choice for adults and children requiring regular insulin therapy for diabetes management.

Indications:

• Indicated for subcutaneous injection of insulin and other prescribed injectable medications using an insulin pen.
• Suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes who require multiple daily insulin injections.
• Suitable for patients with type 2 diabetes using insulin pens for basal, bolus, or premixed insulin regimens.
• Can be used for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and other pen-based injectable therapies if recommended by a healthcare professional.
• Designed for use by adults and children as instructed by a healthcare provider.
• Intended for single-patient, single-use only to help reduce the risk of infection and needlestick injuries.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• High-grade stainless steel needle – ultra-fine 31g gauge for reduced pain and tissue trauma (exact alloy composition For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website).
• Needle length: 6 mm – optimized for subcutaneous injections with reduced risk of intramuscular injection when used correctly.
• Silicone or similar medical-grade lubricant coating – for smoother skin penetration and increased injection comfort (exact formulation not specified).
• Plastic hub compatible with most standard insulin pens – ensures secure attachment and stable injection (specific pen compatibility list not provided; check pen manufacturer instructions).
• Protective inner and outer caps – maintain sterility and help prevent accidental needlestick before and after use.
• All specific material concentrations and exact component formulations are not provided by the manufacturer and are therefore unavailable.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as directed by your doctor, diabetes educator, or healthcare professional.
• Always use a new, sterile Insupen Pen Needle 6mm for each injection to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of infection and needle blockage.
• Step-by-step usage instructions:
  • 1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them well.
  • 2. Remove the protective seal from a new Insupen Pen Needle 6mm 100 unit.
  • 3. Attach the needle straight onto the insulin pen by screwing or pushing it firmly according to the pen manufacturer’s instructions until secure.
  • 4. Remove the outer protective cap and keep it aside; then remove the inner needle cap and discard it safely.
  • 5. Prime the pen (air shot) as recommended by the pen manufacturer to remove air bubbles and ensure correct dose delivery.
  • 6. Select the injection site (abdomen, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks) as advised by your healthcare provider and rotate sites regularly.
  • 7. Clean the injection area with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry completely.
  • 8. Gently pinch a fold of skin if recommended, and insert the 6 mm needle at a 90-degree angle (or as instructed by your healthcare professional).
  • 9. Press the injection button fully and hold it down for several seconds (usually 5–10 seconds) to ensure the full dose is delivered.
  • 10. Withdraw the needle straight out and immediately place it into a dedicated sharps container without attempting to recap the needle.
  • 11. Unscrew the needle from the pen using the outer cap if recommended, then discard the used needle safely in a puncture-resistant sharps container.
  • 12. Replace the pen cap and store the pen as instructed by the medication manufacturer.
• Do not share your insulin pen or pen needles with anyone, even family members.
• Follow your prescribed insulin dose and timing exactly as directed by your doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Supports accurate and consistent subcutaneous delivery of insulin and other injectable diabetes medications when used correctly.
• Short 6 mm needle length helps reduce the risk of intramuscular injection, aiding in more predictable insulin absorption.
• Ultra-fine 31g needle design helps minimize pain and discomfort, improving patient comfort and adherence to therapy.
• High-quality stainless steel construction and smooth, lubricated surface help reduce tissue trauma and skin irritation.
• Single-use, sterile design lowers the risk of infection and cross-contamination compared with needle reuse.
• Compatibility with most major insulin pens offers convenience and flexibility for patients and healthcare professionals.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For subcutaneous injection use only; do not use for intramuscular or intravenous injections.
• Single-use device: do not reuse, re-sterilize, or share needles under any circumstances.
• Do not use if the sterile seal is broken, packaging is damaged, or the needle appears bent, dull, or defective.
• Use with caution in patients with reduced manual dexterity, visual impairment, or cognitive impairment; they may require assistance from a caregiver or healthcare professional.
• Improper technique may lead to incorrect insulin dosing, which can cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have severe lipodystrophy, skin infections, or significant scarring at injection sites.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or if there are changes in your insulin regimen or injection technique.
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental needlestick injuries.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease; it is a delivery device for medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
• Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and the insulin pen manufacturer when using this device.

Side Effects:

• Local reactions at the injection site such as redness, mild pain, burning, itching, or swelling.
• Bruising or minor bleeding at the injection site, especially if a blood vessel is punctured.
• Lipohypertrophy or lipoatrophy (thickening or thinning of the fatty tissue) at injection sites if the same area is repeatedly used and site rotation is not followed.
• Rare allergic reactions to needle materials or lubricants, which may present as rash, hives, or localized irritation.
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can occur if too much insulin is injected or if injection technique leads to faster absorption; symptoms include sweating, shakiness, dizziness, confusion, and palpitations. Seek medical attention immediately if severe symptoms occur.
• Seek prompt medical advice if you experience persistent pain, significant swelling, signs of infection (warmth, pus, fever), or any severe allergic reaction such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips, or throat.
