GlucoRx CarePoint Pen Needles 31G 5mm Pack of 100

A 5mm pen needle for when you've been advised a little more length

CarePoint comes in lengths from 4mm to 12mm, and 5mm is the step up from the shortest. The needle is 31G with a 3-bevel tip and a thin-wall design, electropolished with dual silicone lubrication for easier injection. The green 5mm carton makes the right box easy to pick.

Universal fit for insulin and GLP-1 pens

CarePoint fits Novo Nordisk FlexTouch, FlexPen and NovoPen, Eli Lilly KwikPen and HumaPen, Sanofi SoloStar and ClikSTAR, and Owen Mumford Autopen pens, and the Mounjaro KwikPen and Wegovy FlexTouch GLP-1 pens. Used needles go straight into a sharps bin, such as one from Sharpsafe. For more on living with diabetes, see our condition page.

Always follow the instructions that came with your insulin pen, and the injection technique your diabetes team has shown you.

1. Wash and dry your hands.
2. Remove the paper seal from a new needle and screw it straight on to the pen, holding the outer cap.
3. Remove the outer cap, then the inner cap. Keep the outer cap for removing the needle.
4. Prime the pen as your pen's instructions describe, until insulin appears at the needle tip.
5. Dial your dose, inject, and keep the button pressed for a count of 10 before withdrawing the needle.
6. Replace the outer cap, unscrew the needle and put it straight into a sharps bin.

For single use only. Use a new needle for every injection. Never share your pen or needles with anyone. Do not carry your pen with a needle attached. Never recap a used needle by its inner cap, bend or break it: dispose of it in a sharps bin. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Stop using and speak to your pharmacist or GP if you have a reaction at the injection site.
