Description

The NEEDLEGUARD INSULIN PRO SAFETY PEN NEEDLE is expertly designed for secure and efficient subcutaneous injection, primarily intended for medications such as insulin. This disposable, double-pointed needle is compatible with pen-shaped syringes and cartridge-based injection systems, making it suitable for both adult and pediatric patients in self-injection and healthcare settings.

Key Features

• Automatic Safety Shield: The needle is equipped with a movable, spring-loaded safety shield that automatically encloses and locks over the needle after use. This mechanism significantly reduces the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries and prevents reuse, enhancing safety in both personal and clinical environments.

• Visual Indicators: Transparent areas and colored or symbol-marked zones provide clear visual cues to indicate whether the needle is unused or securely locked after use. These features are particularly beneficial for users with poor eyesight.

• Needle Design: The needle cannula is short and thin, typically ranging from 4–12 mm in length and as fine as 31G or 32G in gauge. This design minimizes pain and reduces the risk of intramuscular injection, providing a more comfortable experience.

• Secure Attachment: The needle hub is designed for secure fastening to pen syringes or cartridges, with features such as threading or a distal hub tower for additional support.

Sterility and Packaging

Each needle is supplied sterile, packaged in a peel bag or sealed container with a germ-impermeable barrier. It may include a removable safety cap or sheath for protection before use, ensuring hygiene and safety.

Material Composition

Constructed from medical-grade materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, stainless steel, and other specialized plastics and metals, the needle components are designed for durability and reliability.

Usability Enhancements

• One-Handed Operation: The safety shield can be activated with one hand, providing convenience and ease of use.
• Tactile Cues: Features such as textured surfaces improve grip and handling, while cues for shield status and needle bevel orientation enhance usability.
• Psychological Comfort: Designed to reduce psychological barriers to injection, especially beneficial for children.

Variants and Adaptability

The NEEDLEGUARD INSULIN PRO offers various deployment mechanisms for the safety shield, such as flip cap, slide cap, and twist cap, catering to different user preferences and device compatibilities. Some versions include double telescopic assemblies for extra-long needles, providing adaptability across different injection needs.

Disposal

Intended for single use, the needle should be disposed of safely according to medical waste guidelines, ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.
