The Ultra-Fine™ Pen Needle is now part of embecta

Sponsored Content

BD has been a trusted name in insulin delivery since the creation of the very first insulin syringe in 1924. Now, embecta (formerly BD Diabetes Care) is carrying on that legacy. As your trusted partner, we support pharmacists with educational resources and evidence-based recommendations that improve patient advice and outcomes.

Whether a patient is newly diagnosed or transitioning to injectable therapy, embecta’s mission is to make their everyday experience as comfortable and convenient as possible. That’s why we’re proud to provide the same Ultra-Fine™ pen needles that many of your patients rely on.

Pharmacists are often a main point of contact for people with diabetes. This means you play an important role in ensuring they obtain the right pen needles to administer insulin. Advising your patients to choose short 4mm or 5mm pen needle lengths will bring them a range of benefits:

• Long enough to get through the skin to the subcutaneous layer, where it works best.¹
• Short enough to avoid the muscle to reduce pain and hypoglycaemia.¹

Remember to look out for Ultra-Fine^TM pen needles in 4mm and 5mm lengths, as recommended by local and international best practice guidelines.^2-3

• Ultra-Fine^TM 4mm Pen Needle (NDSS code: 266)
• Ultra-Fine^TM 5mm Pen Needle (NDSS code: 97)
