BD Ultra-Fine™ pen needles
Get smoother, more gentle injections
BD Ultra-Fine™ and BD Ultra-Fine Nano™ pen needles utilize advanced technologies to optimize the comfort of insulin injections. Available in different sizes, they enable pediatric, adult and obese patients to inject into the fat layer, just below the skin's surface, to avoid intramuscular (IM) injections.1
Hypoglycemia prevention
By reducing the risk of IM injections, our 6-mm and 4-mm pen needles help prevent hypoglycemia.2,3
Needle comfort
Our BD Ultra-Fine Nano 4mm pen needles incorporate EasyFlow™ and PentaPoint™ Comfort technologies to improve insulin flow and promote injection comfort.4
Patient confidence
These pen needles are shorter in length, intimidating patients less.1
