BD Micro-Fine Ultra Needles 5 mm Box of 100

What is BD Micro-Fine Ultra 5 mm used for?

BD Micro-Fine Ultra 5 mm needles are designed to meet the requirements of diabetic patients who use injection pens to administer their insulin. These innovative needles combine precision, comfort and safety to make injection easier and more pleasant.

One of the main advantages of these needles is their Pentapoint technology, which gives them an ultra-refined tip with five bevels, enabling smoother insertion and limiting pain when puncturing the skin. This unique design reduces pressure on the skin, improving injection tolerance. In addition, ParoiFine technology reduces injection resistance, facilitating the passage of insulin and reducing injection time.

With an optimal length of 5 mm, these needles effectively prevent accidental intramuscular injections, a key factor in reducing the risk of hypoglycemia. In fact, ensuring that insulin is delivered into the subcutaneous tissue optimizes its absorption and efficacy. What's more, this ideal length enables patients to avoid using the skin fold, simplifying the administration technique and promoting better adherence to treatment.

People suffering from stress or fear of needles will find these needles a soothing solution. The fineness of the needle reduces the anxiety associated with injections, making the procedure virtually painless. This reduction in pain helps to make insulin administration easier and less anxiety-provoking on a daily basis. The adoption of this technology therefore helps to improve patient compliance and comfort.

In addition to offering gentle, effective injection, these needles are compatible with the majority of injection pens, including those from Novo (NovoPen, Innolet, Flexpen, Victoza), Lilly (Umuline Pen, Humapen Luxura, Humalog Kwikpen, Byetta pen) and Sanofi-Aventis (ClikStar, SoloStar, Optiset, OptiPen pro). They can also be adapted to other diabetes administration devices.

Last but not least, the box of 100 needles is the ideal packaging to ensure a long-lasting supply, reducing the constraints associated with frequent purchases of medical consumables. So you can be sure you'll have enough needles to keep up with your treatment.

If you're looking for even greater comfort, BD Micro-Fine Ultra 4 mm Box of 100 can be an excellent complement to your treatment.
