Buy Needle BD Duo Autoshield Pen Needle Online

The BD AutoShield Duo pen needle is a safety pen needle that is designed to facilitate safe insulin injections. It features automatic dual-protection shields on both ends of the needle to help prevent needlestick exposure and injury during injection and disposal.

The pen needle is designed to facilitate safe and convenient insulin injections. It does not require an additional step to cover the needle after injection, as the shields automatically activate. The pen needle comes in a 5-mm size. This length is designed to reduce the risk of intramuscular injections and does not require a pinch-up technique, potentially reducing the risk of needlestick injury.

The BD AutoShield Duo pen needle is equipped with patented automatic dual-protection shields. These shields automatically cover the needle after injection, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries during disposal.

To use the BD AutoShield Duo pen needle, please follow these steps:

Prepare your insulin pen: Attach the pen needle securely to your insulin pen according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure it is firmly attached.
Prime the pen: If necessary, prime your insulin pen as per the instructions provided with your specific pen.
Choose the injection site: Select a suitable injection site on your body, following your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Clean the area with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry.
Remove the pen needle cap: Remove the outer shield cap from the pen needle. Make sure to hold the pen needle by the outer shield to avoid accidental needlestick injuries.
Inject the insulin: Insert the pen needle into your skin at a 90-degree angle or as recommended by your healthcare provider. Inject the insulin dose as instructed by your healthcare provider. Press the plunger of the insulin pen fully to deliver the dose.
Activate the shields: After injecting the insulin, the automatic dual-protection shields will activate. The front shield will click to confirm that the needle has penetrated the skin. The shields will cover the needle completely, reducing the risk.

Once the shields are activated, carefully remove the pen needle from your skin. Place the used pen needle in a sharps container or an appropriate puncture-resistant container for safe disposal, following local regulations and guidelines.
