What are CarePoint Pen Needles?
CarePoint Pen Needles are a universal fit for all insulin pen delivery devices including Novo Nordisk, Owen Mumford, AstraZeneca and Sanofi. These needles have been expertly designed for easy injection and are available in a variety of sizes including 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm and 12mm.Â

How to use these needles
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling CarePoint Pen Needles. Remove the cap on your insulin pen and attach a needle carefully. Test the pen by holding it upright and pressing the release button – the insulin should appear at the point of the needle. Select your required dose and inject into the appropriate area (usually the outer thighs, abdomen, buttocks or upper arms). Press the button to release the dose and count 10 seconds before removing and disposing of the needle in a sharps bin.Â
Â
Can you reuse CarePoint Pen Needles?
No, pen needles are sterile products designed for single use only. Reusing a needle could damage the needle tip and protective coating, making injections more painful and more likely to cause bleeding or bruising. Reusing needles can also result in blockages, making it more difficult to deliver your medicine during the next injection. Not only that, but it can also increase the risk of breakage and damage your skin.Â

Storage information
Store CarePoint Pen Needles out of sight and reach of children. When disposing of used needles, make sure to use a sharps bin. Used needles must never be broken or bent before disposal and you must never try to recap a needle.
