Description
Ultra-Fine Pen Needles span the classic length range, from the 5mm Mini to the 12.7mm Original, so a program can match needle length to each user's build and training. Every length carries the fine gauge and thin wall profile that defines the line. Color-coded packaging keeps the lengths easy to tell apart at the supply shelf.
- Four Length Options – Choose 5mm Mini, 6mm Micro, 8mm Short or 12.7mm Original to match user build and clinician preference
- Fine Gauges Throughout – Gauges run 29G to 32G across the range, keeping penetration gentle at every length
- Color-Coded Boxes – Each length has its own package color, which cuts picking errors in busy supply rooms
- Standard Pen Fit – All four lengths thread onto widely used insulin pens
Four Lengths Under One Pen Needle Line
Needle length is a clinical choice, and different users on the same unit can legitimately need different lengths. This line keeps those choices inside one product family, with the Mini for users moving down from longer needles and the Original for those trained on the traditional format. The 6mm Micro and 8mm Short lengths cover the middle ground that many long-term pen users were originally taught on. Gauges step down as lengths grow, balancing flow and comfort for each size. Consistent threading across the family means pen platforms and training materials stay the same. Stocking one family in four lengths simplifies par levels for diabetes programs and hospital units.

Why Choose the Ultra-Fine Pen Needles
Programs rarely serve one body type, so a single-length shelf forces compromises that show up as bruising or poor absorption. Keeping four lengths in one family lets the clinician's length choice, not the stockroom, drive the fit.
- Right Length per User – Matching length to build keeps insulin in the subcutaneous layer for lean and larger users alike
- Fewer Picking Errors – Color-coded boxes separate lengths that look similar in plain packaging
- One Family to Learn – Unlike mixing brands per length, a single line keeps threading, training and documentation consistent
Frequently Asked Questions
Which length should a user choose?
Length selection belongs to the care team and depends on body build and injection sites. Many users today start at 4mm or 5mm, while long-term users may stay on the length they were trained with.
What do Mini, Micro, Short and Original mean?
They are the line's names for its four lengths. Mini is 5mm, Micro is 6mm, Short is 8mm and Original is the traditional 12.7mm length.
Do all lengths fit the same pens?
Yes, all four use standard pen needle threading for widely used insulin pens. The choice of length does not change the pen platform.
How is the case packed?
Each length ships as a case of 12 boxes with 100 needles per box. Select the length above to order that configuration.
Are the needles sterile and single use?
Yes, every needle in the family is sterile and made for one injection. A fresh needle each time protects the tip and the site.
