thanks to lower
penetration force 1, 2
- triple sharpening
- smooth silicone lubrication along the entire length of the needle
- electropolished needle tip
maximizes flow rate and reduces injection time 3
Same outer diameter, larger inner diameter than regular wall.
- Thin Wall
wide range of choice to meet everyone's needs
-
accurate absorption of insulin
by the subcutaneous tissue -
reduces the risk of intramuscular
release of insulin - helps people overcome fear of needles
