Pen needles make administering insulin comfortable and simple. In compared to syringes and vials, these sophisticated technical devices offer a superior alternative medicine administration approach. As an illustration, Becton, Dickinson, and Company recently introduced BD Ultra-Fine Nano 4mm Pen Needles with EasyFlow Technology, which will make it simpler for diabetic patients to follow their insulin therapy regimens.
Because of the high rate of diabetes in the continent, Europe held the top spot in the global Pen Needles Market in 2021, followed by North America. In contrast, Asia Pacific is predicted to increase at the quickest rate over the projected period since more diabetics are becoming aware of the convenience of easy drug delivery.
To administer medication, pen needles are utilised (most commonly to inject insulin in diabetic patients). Pen needles have a number of benefits over traditional needle and syringe devices, including helping patients self-administer medication and requiring no special training. The necessary amount of medication is contained in pen needles that are fitted to injection pens through plastic hubs. The pen is used to inject this. Pen needles come in a variety of sizes based on their length and gauge. There are many lengths available, including 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10 mm, and 12mm.
Pen needle thickness is determined by gauge size; the greater the gauge number, the thinner the thickness. Pen Needles come in several gauges, including 29G, 30G, 31G, and 32G. The most modern pen needles are ultra-fine needles, which are painless and penetrate the subcutaneous layer beneath the skin most effectively. If larger needles, such as those measuring 8 and 12 millimetres, are not inserted correctly, however, they run the risk of penetrating the intramuscular layer.
