Common Questions
Will these fit my insulin pen?
Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles are compatible with most major insulin pen devices. If you're unsure, speak with your pharmacist or diabetes healthcare professional.
Can I reuse a pen needle?
No. Pen needles are intended for single use only and should be safely disposed of after each injection.
Why should I change the needle every time?
Using a fresh sterile needle helps reduce discomfort, maintains needle sharpness, supports accurate insulin delivery and lowers the risk of contamination.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Good injection technique is essential for effective diabetes management. Rotate injection sites regularly between the abdomen, thighs, upper arms and buttocks to help reduce the risk of lipohypertrophy (thickened or lumpy skin), which can interfere with insulin absorption.
Always attach a new sterile needle before every injection and remove it immediately afterwards. Leaving a needle attached to the pen can allow air to enter or insulin to leak, which may affect dose accuracy.
Dispose of all used needles in an approved sharps container and never share insulin pens or pen needles with another person.

FAQs
1. What are Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles 5mm x 31G used for?
Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles are sterile, single-use needles designed for compatible insulin pens. They are used to administer insulin safely and comfortably as part of diabetes management and should always be used according to your healthcare professional's instructions.
2. What does 31G mean?
31G refers to the gauge, or thickness, of the needle. A higher gauge number indicates a finer needle. The fine 31G design is intended to improve comfort while maintaining reliable insulin delivery.
3. Why choose a 5mm pen needle?
A 5mm pen needle provides a shorter needle option that is suitable for many people using insulin. Your diabetes healthcare professional will recommend the most appropriate needle length based on your individual needs and injection technique.
4. Are these needles compatible with all insulin pens?
Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles are compatible with most commonly used insulin pen devices. If you are unsure whether they fit your insulin pen, check the manufacturer's recommendations or ask your pharmacist.
5. Can I reuse a pen needle?
No. Pen needles are designed for single use only. Reusing them can increase discomfort, raise the risk of infection and reduce the accuracy of insulin delivery because the needle becomes blunt after use.
6. Why should I rotate injection sites?
Rotating injection sites helps reduce the risk of lipohypertrophy, where fatty lumps develop beneath the skin. These areas may affect insulin absorption and make blood glucose control less predictable.
7. How should I dispose of used pen needles?
Place used needles immediately into an approved sharps container. Never dispose of loose needles in household waste or recycling.
8. Should I remove the needle after every injection?
Yes. Removing the needle immediately after injecting insulin helps prevent insulin leakage, air entering the pen and inaccurate dosing.
9. Are these needles sterile?
Yes. Each needle is individually sealed and sterile until opened. Do not use a needle if the packaging has been damaged or previously opened.
10. Can insulin pens be shared between people?
No. Insulin pens should never be shared, even if a new needle is attached. Sharing pens can transmit blood-borne infections.
11. Why is priming my insulin pen important?
Priming removes air from the pen and needle before injection, helping ensure that the correct insulin dose is delivered. Always follow the instructions supplied with your insulin pen.
12. Why buy Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles from Lir Pharmacy?
