Safety Pen Needle
Pen needles are needles that are attached to a prefilled pen so that you can inject medication, such as insulin, from a pen-like device. Unlike standard pen needles, where both the outer and inner covers need to be removed, the safety pen needle design ensures that you won’t accidentally poke yourself with a needle. It also protects others from an accidental needlestick.
DropSafe has a unique and proprietary built-in sharps injury prevention feature (SIPF). DropSafe was specifically designed to minimize the risk from accidental needlesticks by application of the sharps injury prevention feature.
- The viewing window enables the user to check if the needle is visible.
- The shield serves to hide the needle from the patient, both before and after the injection.
- After use, the needle is automatically locked out (passive mechanism), confirmed by a red lock-out indicator.
What do I need to know about injection technique with DropSafe safety pen needles?
Guidelines suggest refreshing injection technique annually.
- Secure the safety pen needle to the pen and prime the pen.
- Alternate injection sites to prevent lipohypertrophy and ensure the patient receives the benefit of the full dose.
- Firmly inject at a 90° angle or perpendicular to the skin.
- Ensure to hold for a full 10 seconds to inject the full dose and prevent medication leakage. Begin the count after the pen has been fully depressed.
- The instant the dose is delivered, remove the SPN off the pen injector and discard into a sharps container.
- Your great technique has benefitted your patient therapeutically and experientially, while securing your safety.
