Micro-Fine Ultra™ 4mm
embecta is committed to helping you inject your insulin correctly.
- Overview
A recent study showed that people with diabetes were making at least 1 mistake in how they inject insulin.1<< This can lead to insulin not working the way it should.2
Accuracy
The Micro-Fine Ultra 4mm Pen Needle is recommended for all adults and children with diabetes, regardless of BMI. It is long enough to traverse the skin but short enough to avoid intramuscular injection.3*
Comfort
The Micro-Fine Ultra™ 4mm Pen Needle with 5-bevel needle tip can bring a more comfortable and less painful injection.#4
Confidence
The Micro-Fine Ultra™ 4mm Pen Needle has Ultra-Thin wall technology to increase the flow of insulin so less thumb pressure is needed to push the pen button, making it easier for you to give the injection and giving you confidence that you have received the full dose of insulin.5¥
Compatibility
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.6
Single Use
Use a new pen needle every time you inject. Pen needles are recommended to be used only once and are no longer sterile after that. 2
