Common Questions
Can I reuse a pen needle?
No. Pen needles are intended for single use only. Reusing needles increases the risk of infection, pain and needle damage.
Will these fit my insulin pen?
Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles are compatible with most major insulin pen devices. Check your insulin pen manufacturer's guidance or ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.
Why should I change the needle every time?
Using a fresh sterile needle helps maintain sharpness, improves injection comfort and reduces the risk of contamination and blocked needles.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Correct injection technique is an important part of effective insulin therapy. Rotate injection sites regularly between recommended areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and upper arms to help reduce the risk of lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin), which can affect insulin absorption.
Always inspect your insulin pen before use and follow the instructions supplied with both your insulin pen and your insulin. If you notice unexplained blood glucose changes or experience repeated injection problems, speak with your diabetes nurse, GP or pharmacist for advice.
Dispose of used needles immediately into an approved sharps container. Never place loose needles into household waste.

FAQs
1. What are Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles used for?
Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles are sterile, single-use needles designed for compatible insulin injection 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 advice.
2. What does 31G mean?
31G refers to the gauge, or thickness, of the needle. The higher the gauge number, the finer the needle. A 31G needle is designed to provide comfortable insulin injections while allowing reliable insulin delivery.
3. What does the 8mm needle length mean?
The needle is 8mm long. Your diabetes healthcare team will recommend the most appropriate needle length based on your individual needs, body type 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 pen, check the manufacturer's guidance or ask your pharmacist before purchasing.
5. Can I reuse a pen needle?
No. Pen needles are intended for single use only. Reusing a needle can make injections more painful, increase the risk of infection and affect insulin delivery because the needle becomes blunt after use.
6. Why should I rotate my injection sites?
Rotating injection sites helps reduce the risk of developing lumps or thickened skin (lipohypertrophy), which can interfere with insulin absorption and make blood glucose control less predictable.
7. How should I dispose of used needles?
Used needles should be placed immediately into an approved sharps container. Never dispose of loose needles in household rubbish or recycling.
8. Should I remove the needle after every injection?
Yes. Remove the needle immediately after injecting insulin. Leaving a needle attached to the pen may allow air to enter or insulin to leak, which can affect dose accuracy.
9. Are these needles sterile?
Yes. Every needle is individually sealed and sterile until opened. Do not use a needle if the packaging is damaged or already opened.
10. Can two people share the same insulin pen if they change the needle?
No. Insulin pens should never be shared between individuals, even if a new needle is attached. Sharing pens may transmit blood-borne infections.
11. Why is it important to prime my insulin pen?
Priming removes air from the needle and pen and helps ensure that the correct insulin dose is delivered. Always follow the instructions provided with your insulin pen before each injection.
12. Why buy Micro Fine Ultra Pen Needles from Lir Pharmacy?
