Nano PROTM Pen Needles can help you deliver insulin correctly1

Insulin injection mistakes are more common than you may think2*

A study showed that people with diabetes were making at least 1 mistake in how they inject insulin.2*

of patients apply
too much injection force2*

The most common mistake was applying too much force against the skin when injecting, which can increase the chance of injecting into the muscle—leading to pain or the chance of blood sugars dropping too low.2,3

Deliver your insulin correctly with a contoured needle base

The unique contoured needle base on Nano PROTM Pen Needles helps to correct for different forces that may be applied to the skin when giving an injection to help make sure insulin gets where it needs to go.1†

Explore the innovative features
of the Nano PROTM Pen Needles

The combination of innovative features on Nano PROTM Pen Needles was found by people with diabetes to significantly reduce overall injection pain and make the injection experience easier compared to other pen needles studied.4§

Consistency with the contoured base

Nano PROTM Pen Needles, with a unique contoured base, allow for more consistent 4mm injections.1¶

Confidence with Ultra-Thin wall

Ultra-Thin wall technology increases the flow of insulin, making injections easier and giving you the confidence that you have received the full dose.6||

Ultra-Thin wall is the highest ISO standard for a 32G pen needle inner diameter.7

Designed for ease of use

The wider outer cover is easier to attach to a pen device and the larger inner needle shield is easier to grip to remove before an injection.4§#

‡To precisely locate injection depth, 1188 injections were administered in swine across a range of clinically relevant injection forces using 20µl of iodinated contrast delivered with Nano PROTM vs three 4mm posted-hub pen needles. Intramuscular injection risk was calculated through an in silico probability model, using needle penetration depth and published average human tissue thickness measurements.
