BD AutoShield™ Duo Pen Needle has a front shield that automatically covers the needle before and after an injection, and a second shield that passively covers the back end needle after injection, helping to reduce the risk of accidental needle stick injuries. Additionally, the front shield helps conceal the needle to reduce injection related anxiety. This has a 5mm needle which fits with current AADE guidelines for diabetes injection needle length and is suitable for all patients regardless of age, race, or BMI. This is the only pen needle that passively covers the front and back needles, eliminating exposure after use.

To use this BD AutoShield™ Duo Insulin Pen Needle, simply attach it to your insulin pen as per the pen’s instructions. Before and after each injection, the front shield automatically covers the needle for your safety. After injection, the second shield passively covers the back-end needle. This reduces the risk of accidental needle stick injuries. Remember, it’s disposable, so don’t reuse it. Also, it’s latex-free, which is great for those with latex sensitivities. Make sure to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always check the expiration date before use. If you have any questions about how to use it or any concerns regarding your diabetes treatment, consult your healthcare provider.
