Insulin pen needle molds are used in the production of insulin pen needles. These molds are typically made of high-quality steel or aluminum to ensure accuracy, precision, and durability in the manufacturing process.
The needle mold design features a series of cavities that are used to shape and form the insulin pen needles. The needles are made from stainless steel and are usually coated with a thin layer of silicone to ensure smooth injection and reduce pain during use.
During the production process, the insulin pen needle molds are filled with molten metal using a process called injection molding. The metal is then allowed to cool and harden, forming the desired shape of the insulin pen needles.
After the needles are formed, they are typically packaged in sterile containers and shipped to medical facilities or pharmacies for distribution to patients with diabetes who require insulin injections as part of their treatment plan.
Wash your hands with soap and water before handling the needle.
Remove the protective cap from the needle.
Attach the needle to the insulin pen, making sure it clicks into place.
Prime the needle by dialing the pen to the appropriate dose and pressing the plunger until insulin appears at the needle tip.
Choose your injection site and clean the area with an alcohol swab.
Insert the needle into your skin at a 90-degree angle for adults or at a 45-degree angle for children or those with thin skin.
Press the plunger to inject the insulin.
Remove the needle from the skin and discard it into a sharps container.
Compatibility: Insulin pen needle molds are designed to fit compatible insulin pens.
Needle Gauge: Insulin pen needle molds are available in different needle gauges depending on the user's preference and insulin dosage.
Needle Length: Insulin pen needle molds come in different lengths, depending on the user's skin thickness.
Sterility: Insulin pen needle molds must be sterilized before use to prevent infections.
Ease of Use: Insulin pen needle molds are designed to be easy to use and require minimal training.
