Carepoint Pen Needles - 31g 5mm - Pack of 100

GlucoRx CarePoint Pen Needles – 31g 5 mm (100 Pack) are sterile, single-use insulin pen needles designed to deliver comfortable and reliable subcutaneous injections for people managing diabetes or other injectable therapies. Featuring an ultra-fine 31 gauge needle and a 5 mm length, these pen needles are intended to reduce discomfort during injection while ensuring effective delivery of medication.

These needles use a 3-bevel design and are electropolished with high-grade siliconisation to help improve glide and reduce resistance during skin penetration, supporting a smoother experience.

GlucoRx CarePoint pen needles have a universal fit for most major insulin and GLP-1 injection pen devices, including brands such as Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Becton Dickinson, and Owen Mumford, so they work seamlessly with a wide range of delivery systems.

Brand: GlucoRx CarePoint

Pack Size: 100 sterile pen needles

Needle Gauge / Length: 31g (ultra-fine), 5 mm

Intended use: Subcutaneous injection of insulin or other pen-delivered medication 

1. Prepare: Wash and thoroughly dry your hands to reduce contamination.
2. Attach needle: Remove the protective cap from the insulin or injection pen. Screw or push a new CarePoint 31g 5 mm pen needle securely onto the pen tip following the pen manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Prime: Prime your pen by selecting a small test dose (e.g., 2 units) and pressing the release button with the pen held upright to ensure insulin appears at the needle tip.
4. Select dose: Dial the prescribed dose on the pen.
5. Injection: Choose an approved injection site (abdomen, thigh, upper arm, buttocks) and insert the needle at 90° to the skin. Press the dose button firmly and hold for ~10 seconds to ensure full delivery.
6. Dispose: After the injection, carefully remove the needle from the pen and dispose of it in a designated sharps bin — never reuse or recap.

Always follow your healthcare professional’s injection technique instructions and your insulin pen manufacturer’s detailed guidance.

As medical device accessories, GlucoRx CarePoint Pen Needles do not contain medicinal “ingredients” in the pharmaceutical sense. Their construction uses medical-grade materials designed for sterile and safe injection:

• Sterile 31 gauge stainless-steel needle — ultra-fine for reduced puncture discomfort.

• Triple-bevel tip — engineered for smoother penetration.

• High-grade siliconised coating — enhances glide during injection and improves comfort.

• Medical-grade plastic hub & protective caps — maintain sterility until use and assist with safe attachment.

These materials work together to support consistent, comfortable injections and are manufactured under sterile conditions.

Warnings & Precautions

• Single-Use Only: CarePoint pen needles are sterile and for single use only. Reuse can blunt the needle, increase pain, elevate infection risk and lead to poor insulin delivery.

• For subcutaneous injections: These needles are intended for subcutaneous administration of insulin or other prescribed injectable meds and should not be used for other purposes.

• Safe disposal: After use, immediately place the needle in an approved sharps bin and never attempt to recap by hand.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiry date on the packaging.

• Allergy risk: Do not use if you have a known allergy to materials in the needle hub or coating. Consult your pharmacist or GP for alternatives.

Potential Local Effects

• Mild discomfort: Minimal pain, tingling or slight bleeding at the injection site may occur; this is common with subcutaneous injections.

• Local irritation: Redness, bruising or itching may appear but usually resolves quickly. If irritation persists or signs of infection (e.g., increasing pain, swelling, warmth, discharge) occur, seek advice from a pharmacist or clinician.

When to Seek Advice

• If you notice persistent injection site problems or recurrent difficulty in delivering full doses.

• If you are unsure about injection technique or needle selection — consult a pharmacist or diabetes specialist nurse.
