Pen needles are used all over the world, especially in regions such as the U.S. and U.K. Insulin pen needles are small, disposable plastic needles used to administer insulin to a patient from a disposable insulin pen. A disposable insulin pen needle contains only sterile insulin and has a short tube that allows the needle to be placed into a syringe directly into the user's insulin pump. The needle is then removed after a specified amount of time and replaced with a new one. Four types of pens are available: plastic, glass, aluminum, and quartz. These types of pen needles have specific needle lengths.
Diabetes pen needles are also known as vials. This type of pen needle is specifically used for administering insulin. They are specifically employed for people who need to control or monitor their blood glucose levels in a controlled way. The vial can either be plastic, glass, or aluminum and the syringe that goes into it can be either glass or aluminum. Vial-type insulin pen needles have small holes on the bottom so that they can be put into a standard syringe easily.
Insulin pen needles also come in other varieties such as vial type and screw-on. Screw-on insulin pens are the most common pens in the market today and have small but effective metal tips. In these pens, the tip of the pen is designed to be screwed onto the vial easily. Insulin pen needles that have screw-on tips can deliver a higher amount of blood sugar to a patient compared to those with plastic tips. In regions such as the U.S., the increasing incidence of diabetes has increased the requirements for insulin pen needles. For instance, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 34.2 million U.S. residents suffer from diabetes.
The needles' length also plays an important role in choosing an appropriate insulin pen. Longer needles allow greater blood flow to the pen, which increases the amount of insulin that can be delivered to a person. The bigger the dose, the higher the blood sugar levels that are achieved and this requires a larger amount of insulin to be dispensed.
