Features and benefits

Accuracy

The BD Micro-Fine Ultra™ 4mm Pen Needle helps to reduce risk of intramuscular injection compared to needles 6mm and longer.3*

Comfort 

The BD Micro-Fine Ultra™  4mm Pen Needle can significantly help reduce pain during injection compared to larger and longer pen needles.4† The 5-bevel needle tip can bring a more comfortable and less painful injection.5^

Confidence 

A recent study showed that people with diabetes were making at least 1 mistake in how they inject insulin. This can lead to insulin not working the way it should.1,2« With our pen needle technology and helpful resources, embecta is committed to helping you correctly inject your insulin.

Single Use

Recommend the use of a new pen needle every time your patients inject. Pen needles are recommended to be used only once and are no longer sterile after that. There is an association between needle reuse and injection pain or bleeding.1

Compatibility

 BD Micro-Fine Ultra™ 4mm Pen Needles are compatible with widely used pen injection devices, so even if your regimen changes, you won’t have to change your choice of pen needle.7
