A new needle design improves insulin injection comfort and accuracy, potentially boosting diabetes management.
A new study by the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology finds Sandstone Easydrip™ Plus pen needles with Hextra Tech™ hexagonal broad hubs improve injection stability and comfort in lab tests, reducing needle tilting and deformation compared to standard needles.
The design aims to ensure more consistent subcutaneous insulin delivery, lower injection force, and reduced risk of intramuscular injection.
Features include a silicone-lubricated cannula, ergonomic cap for safe re-capping, and compatibility with standard insulin pens.
The single-use, sterilized needles are FDA-regulated in the U.S., with varying availability elsewhere.
The company says the improvements may help reduce injection anxiety and improve adherence for people with diabetes.
