AutoShield Pen Needle Benefits

Safety

• Shield automatically locks after injection to help reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks
• Metal tabs provide visual confirmation that the safety feature is activated

Injection pens have been shown to improve the quality of treatment for patients and may improve treatment observance.

They also reduce the risk of medication error and improve dose accuracy. However, without the use of a safety solution, injection pens are associated with needlestick injuries six times more often than syringes.

Studies have shown that both ends of a pen needle are contaminated after use so both ends would require safety features. A pen needle designed with automatic double protection may reduce the risk of exposure to the patient and clinician after removal from the pen.

The first safety pen needle designed to fit all insulin pens that provides automatic double protection

A Safety Pen Needle offering protection on both patient AND pen/cartridge ends

Device Characteristics

Proper Injection Technique

Proper injection technique is essential to improve consistency in medication delivery and optimize glycemic control. It includes factors such as:

• knowing where the common injection sites are
• understanding how to rotate sites
• ensuring consistent delivery into subcutaneous (fat) layer
• choosing proper needle length
• avoiding injecting into muscle

Why is Proper Disposal Important?

Proper syringe disposal will help to:

• Store and safely dispose of used syringes and lancets,
• Protect trash collectors from accidental needlesticks,
• Prevent your used syringes from falling into the wrong hands,
• Protect the environment.
