BD Micro-Fine Pen Insulin Needle 0.33mm (29G) x 12.7mm – 100 Pack

BD Micro-Fine Pen Needles are designed for reliable, comfortable subcutaneous injections with most leading insulin and GLP-1 pen devices. This configuration features a 29G (0.33 mm) needle with a 12.7 mm length for users and protocols that specify a longer needle. BD’s multi-facet, precision-ground tip with micro-bonded lubrication helps reduce insertion force, while the universal-style screw fit, clear hub, and protective caps support confident, single-use injections. The value 100-pack facilitates a fresh sterile needle for every dose and streamlined sharps disposal.

Reasons to Use

• Protocols or clinician preference for a longer 12.7 mm needle

• Users seeking the feel and control of a standard-length needle with smooth insertion

• Not for intravenous use; not suitable for syringes (pen needles are for pens only)

• Children, lean adults or users at higher risk of intramuscular (IM) injection may be better suited to shorter needles—seek clinical advice

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will these fit my pen?
A: BD Micro-Fine pen needles are designed to fit most leading insulin and GLP-1 pens. Check your pen’s instructions or ask your pharmacist to confirm.

Q: Why choose 12.7 mm?
A: Some protocols and users prefer a longer needle for consistent subcutaneous reach in certain body types or through clothing. Your clinician can advise the best length for you.

Q: Is 29G more painful than 31–32G?
A: Gauge can influence sensation. The tri-bevel tip and lubrication help minimise insertion force, but those seeking the least thickness may consider finer gauges.

Q: What injection angle and technique should I use?
A: Many adults use 90° with or without a skinfold depending on site and body type. Hold the needle in place for the recommended count after depressing the plunger to reduce leakage. Follow the technique taught by your clinician.

Q: Can I reuse a pen needle?
A: No. Reuse dulls the tip, increases tissue trauma and infection risk, and may lead to inaccurate dosing due to leakage or blocked flow.

Q: Which sites are best?
A: Common subcutaneous sites are the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms (as instructed). Rotate sites to avoid lipohypertrophy.

Q: How do I dispose of used needles?
A: Place immediately into an approved sharps container. Follow local regulations for disposal/return programs—never discard loose sharps in household waste.

Q: Any tips to reduce sting or leakage?
A: Inject into a relaxed area, insert swiftly at the correct angle, inject steadily, count before withdrawing, and avoid massaging the site. Check insulin temperature—room-temperature insulin (if allowed) may be more comfortable than cold.

Q: Storage?
A: Keep needles in their original packaging, dry, at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight. Do not use past expiry.

Q: Can these be used with GLP-1 pens (e.g., weekly injections)?
A: Many GLP-1 pens accept standard pen needles; confirm compatibility and follow the dosing and needle-change instructions specific to your medicine.
