Features and benefits
Less required thumb force

The pen needle requires 62% lower force to press the button,2 earning the Arthritis Foundation Ease of Use Commendation.3

Higher flow rate*

A large inner diameter allows insulin to flow more easily, providing a 149% higher flow rate than other leading pen needles.2

Improved insulin absorption

The pen needle is estimated to inject insulin into the fat layer more than 99.5% of the time – at all injection sites,4 promoting consistent absorption and reducing the risk of intramuscular (IM) injections, which can cause hypoglycaemia.

Design innovation

The five-bevel needle tip vs the three-bevel tip of other leading brands enables the pen needle to penetrate the skin more easily and facilitates a smoother, gentler injection by providing a flatter, thinner surface.1

Varying sizes accommodating various needs
The BD Ultra-Fine™ brand also comes in 5mm and 8mm sizes.
