Carepoint Pen Needles - 31g 6mm - Pack of 100

GlucoRx CarePoint Pen Needles – 31g 6 mm (Pack of 100) are sterile, single-use pen needles designed to support subcutaneous delivery of insulin and other injectable therapies with a focus on comfort and reliability. These needles feature an ultra-thin 31 gauge diameter and 6 mm length, which help deliver medication effectively while minimising surface-level discomfort.

Crafted with a siliconised finish for smoother skin penetration and a 3-bevel needle tip to aid glide and reduce resistance, the CarePoint range is engineered for ease of use. The universal design fits a wide range of insulin and GLP-1 injectable pens from major manufacturers including Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Becton Dickinson, Lilly and Owen Mumford, simplifying injection routines for people managing diabetes or other chronic conditions.

Brand: GlucoRx CarePoint – trusted quality in diabetes care accessories.

Pack Size: 100 sterile pen needles.

Gauge: 31g (fine bore).

Length: 6 mm — suitable for consistent subcutaneous injections in adults and recommended by many healthcare providers. 

1. Prepare: Wash and dry your hands thoroughly to reduce contamination risk.
2. Attach Needle: Remove the protective cap from your insulin or injectable pen. Carefully screw or push a new CarePoint 31g 6 mm pen needle onto the pen device as per the pen manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Prime Pen: With the needle attached, select a small test dose (e.g. 2 units of insulin) and press the injection button while holding the pen upright to confirm insulin appears at the needle tip.
4. Select Dose: Choose the prescribed dose on the pen.
5. Inject: Choose an appropriate injection site (e.g. abdomen, thigh, buttocks or upper arm). Insert the needle at 90° to the skin and press the dose button firmly.
6. Hold & Remove: After dose delivery, hold the pen in place for a few seconds to ensure complete delivery, then remove the needle from the skin.
7. Dispose: Immediately place the used needle into a designated sharps bin — never recap or reuse.

Note: Always follow your injection pen manufacturer’s detailed instructions and your clinician’s advice for technique and site rotation.

As medical device accessories, CarePoint 31g 6 mm Pen Needles do not contain active medicinal ingredients. They are manufactured from medical-grade materials engineered for sterile, safe injection:

• Sterile 31 gauge stainless steel needle — fine bore for reduced injection discomfort and consistent medication delivery.

• Triple-bevel tip — enhances smooth skin entry and reduces resistance.

• Siliconised coating — assists glide during injection.

• Medical-grade plastic hub and protective cap — maintains sterility until use and supports secure attachment.

These components work together to support precise dosing and ease of use when paired with compatible injection pens.

Warnings & Precautions

• Single-Use Only: CarePoint pen needles are sterile and should be used once only. Reuse may blunt the needle, increase pain, increase infection risk, and compromise medication delivery.

• For Subcutaneous Use Only: These needles are intended for subcutaneous injection of insulin or other injectable therapy and should not be used for intra-muscular or intravenous routes unless specifically advised by a clinician.

• Safe Disposal: Dispose of all used needles into a designated sharps container in accordance with UK clinical waste guidance; do not place in household waste.

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

• Allergy or Sensitivity: If you have a known allergy to stainless steel or any component materials, do not use and consult your pharmacist or clinician for alternatives.

Possible Local Effects

• Mild discomfort: Some individuals may experience slight pain, tingling or minor bleeding at the injection site — this is common with subcutaneous injections.

• Local irritation: Small redness or bruising may occur but should resolve quickly.

• Signs of Infection: If persistent warmth, swelling, increasing pain or discharge occurs at the injection site, stop use and seek advice from a pharmacist or healthcare professional.

When to Seek Advice

• If you consistently experience discomfort, injection site problems or difficulty delivering full doses.

• If you are unsure about correct technique or needle selection — speak with your diabetes specialist nurse, GP or pharmacist.
