Description
The Assure ID Safety Pen Needles are safety-engineered insulin pen needles for professional use, with automatic shields that cover the needle after injection. Three models cover the facility’s safety policy: the DUO PRO shields both ends, the PRO shields the patient end, and the Standard covers the needle with its ClearPrime safety cover system.
- Automatic Safety Shields – the patient-end shield engages automatically on withdrawal, and the DUO PRO adds a pen-end shield that engages on removal.
- ClearPrime Safety Cover – the clear cover lets staff see priming drops before injection, confirming the pen is ready.
- Red Activation Indicator – a red indicator signals that the safety shield has activated.
- Universal Pen Fit – the needles fit major pen devices from Sanofi, Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Owen Mumford, and Berlin Chemie.
Safety Pen Needles Built for Facility Insulin Programs
Insulin administration is one of the highest-frequency sharps tasks in long term care, and needle design is where its safety is won or lost. These needles automate the protection: the patient-end shield deploys as the needle leaves the skin, without a separate activation step for the nurse to remember. The DUO PRO goes further, shielding the pen end when the needle is twisted off, which protects staff during disposal as well. Tri-bevel, lubricated needles support smooth injections, and the clear priming cover confirms dose readiness before the injection. For facilities writing a needlestick-prevention story for their insulin program, this is the Assure line’s answer.
Features and Benefits
Safety Engineering
- Front-End Shield – on the PRO and DUO PRO, the patient-end shield activates automatically on withdrawal and shows a red indicator.
- Back-End Shield (DUO PRO) – the pen-connection end shields itself when the needle is removed from the pen.
- Covered Before Injection – the needle stays covered by the ClearPrime cover until the moment of injection.
Comfort and Fit
- Tri-Bevel, Lubricated Needle – the needle geometry and lubrication are designed to support smooth, comfortable injections.
- Broad Pen Compatibility – fits ClikSTAR, SoloSTAR, and JuniorSTAR (Sanofi), KwikPen and HumaPen models (Lilly), FlexTouch, NovoPen, InnoLet, and FlexPen (Novo Nordisk), Autopen (Owen Mumford), and BerliPen (Berlin Chemie) devices.

Why Facilities Standardize on Shielded Pen Needles
Needlestick injuries cluster around repetitive tasks, and insulin rounds are as repetitive as nursing gets. Automatic shields remove the manual activation step that gets skipped on a busy med pass. The three-model range lets a facility match the needle to its policy, from standard coverage to both-end shielding.
- Protection Without Extra Steps – shields deploy automatically during normal use, so safety does not depend on memory.
- Both-End Coverage Available – the DUO PRO protects staff at injection and again at disposal.
- Fewer Priming Surprises – the clear cover shows priming drops, confirming the pen is ready before the needle is exposed.
- One Needle for the Whole Formulary – universal fit across major pen brands simplifies stocking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three models?
The DUO PRO (31G x 5mm) shields both the patient end and the pen end. The PRO (30G x 5mm) shields the patient end. The Standard (30G x 8mm) uses the ClearPrime cover system with auto lockout after injection.
How does the safety shield activate?
The patient-end shield engages automatically when the needle is withdrawn from the skin, and a red indicator shows it has activated. On the DUO PRO, the pen-end shield engages when the needle is removed from the pen.
Which pens do these needles fit?
They fit major pen devices including Sanofi ClikSTAR, SoloSTAR, and JuniorSTAR, Lilly KwikPen and HumaPen models, Novo Nordisk FlexTouch, NovoPen, InnoLet, and FlexPen, Owen Mumford Autopen, and Berlin Chemie BerliPen devices.
How many needles are in a box?
Each model is packaged 100 per box, as listed.
Can I see the priming drops before injecting?
Yes. The ClearPrime safety cover is clear, so priming drops are visible while the needle stays covered.
