Carepoint Pen Needles - 31g 8mm - Pack of 100

GlucoRx CarePoint Pen Needles – 31g 8 mm (Pack of 100) are high-quality, single-use sterile pen needles designed for subcutaneous delivery of insulin and other injectable medications. These needles feature an ultra-thin 31 gauge (31g) diameter and 8 mm length, making them suitable for comfortable, effective injections in a range of adult patients.

Each needle is electropolished and siliconised to facilitate smoother skin penetration and enhanced glide during injection, helping to reduce discomfort and ensure reliable dosing. The CarePoint range offers universal compatibility with most major insulin pen devices — including pens from manufacturers such as Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Becton Dickinson and Owen Mumford — so they can be used confidently with your existing insulin delivery system.

Brand: GlucoRx CarePoint – a trusted name in diabetes care accessories recognised for quality and consistent performance.

Pack Size: 100 sterile pen needles.

Needle Gauge / Length: 31g / 8 mm – suitable for subcutaneous injections. 

1. Prepare: Wash and dry your hands to minimise contamination.
2. Attach Needle: Remove the protective cap from your insulin pen. Carefully screw or push a new CarePoint pen needle (31g 8 mm) onto the pen following the pen manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Prime Pen: With the needle attached, select a small dose (e.g., 2 units of insulin) and press the injection button to verify flow and remove air from the needle tip.
4. Inject: Select your prescribed dose on the insulin pen. Choose an injection site such as the abdomen, outer thigh, upper arm or buttocks. Pinch the skin fold if instructed, insert the needle at 90°, and deliver the dose by pressing the pen button.
5. Hold & Remove: After injection, hold the pen in place for several seconds to ensure full dose delivery, then remove the needle from the skin.
6. Dispose: Immediately place the used needle into a designated sharps bin — do not recap or reuse the needle.

Note: Always follow the specific instructions provided with your insulin pen and consult your healthcare professional for personalised injection technique recommendations.

As a medical device accessory, GlucoRx CarePoint Pen Needles do not contain medicinal ingredients like pharmaceuticals. The materials are chosen for sterility, biocompatibility and ease of use:

• 31g Stainless Steel Needle – precision-measured for subcutaneous insulin delivery.

• Electropolished Siliconised Coating – enhances needle glide to reduce discomfort during skin penetration.

• Medical-Grade Plastic Hub and Protective Cap – ensures safe handling and maintains sterility until use.

These components work together to support safe, hygienic injections and are manufactured and packaged under sterile conditions. 

Warnings & Precautions

• For subcutaneous use only: These needles are intended for insulin and injectable medications delivered subcutaneously only. Using them for any other purpose may be unsafe.

• Single-Use Only: Pen needles are sterile and for one-time use only; reuse increases risk of infection, needle dulling, blockages and tissue damage.

• Safe disposal: After use, place needles in a designated sharps container as per UK clinical waste guidance; do not place in household waste or attempt to recap.

• Allergy or sensitivity: If you have a known allergy to stainless steel or any component materials, do not use; seek advice from your pharmacist or clinician.

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

Potential Local Effects

• Mild pain or discomfort: Some individuals may experience minimal discomfort or a stinging sensation upon injection.

• Local irritation: Slight redness, bruising or minor bleeding at the injection site can occur but typically resolves quickly.

• Infection signs: If you notice increasing redness, warmth, swelling or discharge at injection sites, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

When to Seek Advice

Seek guidance from your pharmacist or diabetes specialist if you experience persistent pain, unusual skin reactions, difficulty delivering medication, or if you are uncertain about injection technique. Pen needles do not treat conditions by themselves and should be used as part of a prescribed diabetes treatment regimen.
