BD Ultra-Fine Short Pen Needles are designed for use with insulin pens for the injection of insulin. They feature a 31 gauge, 8mm (5/16") needle, which is one of the shortest and thinnest insulin pen needles available. This design aims to make injections more comfortable for patients, especially those who are sensitive to needle lengths, or for pediatric and geriatric patients. These pen needles are engineered with advanced technology to optimize comfort and ensure medication delivery with precision.

How is this medication used?

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Attach a new BD Ultra-Fine Short Pen Needle to your insulin pen by following the manufacturer's instructions. Remove the outer and inner needle caps. If instructed by your healthcare provider, perform an air shot to ensure the pen is working correctly. Administer the insulin injection according to the dose and technique advised by your healthcare provider. Dispose of the used needle safely in a sharps container.

What are the possible side effects?

Side effects from using BD Ultra-Fine Short Pen Needles can include pain, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Infection at the injection site is possible but rare. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider if they experience significant pain or if the injection site does not heal properly.

What are the potential interactions?

There are no direct interactions between BD Ultra-Fine Short Pen Needles and medications, as these needles only serve as a delivery method for injectable medications like insulin. However, it's essential to ensure the compatibility of the needle size and insulin type with your insulin pen. Always consult your healthcare provider for guidance on the proper needle and medication combination.
