GlucoRx FinePoint 31G 4mm 100 Pack contains 100 single-use insulin pen needles with a 31G gauge and a 4mm length. They are universal-fit needles that attach to all insulin pens and to GLP-1 injection pens, so one needle type can be used across different pens. Check with your healthcare practitioner that 4mm is the most suitable needle length for you before use.

Key Features

• 31G, 4mm needle: This pack contains the 4mm length in 31G gauge. FinePoint is also made in 4mm Ultra (32G), 5mm, 6mm and 8mm (31G), and 10mm and 12mm (29G) sizes.
• Universal fit: The manufacturer states these needles fit all insulin pens and GLP-1 injection pens such as Mounjaro KwikPen and Wegovy.
• 5 bevel needle tip: FinePoint uses a 5 bevel tip, which the manufacturer says gives a higher level of injection comfort. GlucoRx CarePoint needles have a 3 bevel tip.
• Thin wall and anti-coring: MaxFlow technology uses an extra thin wall for maximum flow rate and reduced injection time, and the needles are anti-coring, meaning no fragmentation.
• Electropolished and siliconised: The needles are electropolished with high-grade siliconisation to make injecting easier.
• Single use only: Each needle must be used once and then discarded in a sharps bin.

Are GlucoRx FinePoint needles compatible with my pen?

GlucoRx states that FinePoint pen needles have a universal fit on all insulin pens. They are also compatible with GLP-1 injection pens such as Mounjaro KwikPen and Wegovy. GlucoRx publishes a compatibility chart on its website.

What is the difference between GlucoRx FinePoint and CarePoint pen needles?

FinePoint pen needles have a 5 bevel needle tip, while CarePoint needles have a 3 bevel tip. A bevel is the angled surface created when a needle tip is sharpened, to help it glide through the skin for a more comfortable injection.

Can I reuse a pen needle?

No. GlucoRx FinePoint pen needles are single use only. Reusing a needle risks it bending or breaking, and a blunt needle makes the injection more painful.

Materials: The full material composition is not stated in the manufacturer information. The needles are electropolished with high-grade siliconisation, and the needle tip has 5 bevels.

Specification: 31G gauge, 4mm length, 100 needles per pack.

Check with your healthcare practitioner that this is the most suitable pen needle length for you. Then follow these steps:

1. Wash and dry your hands.
2. Remove your insulin pen cap. For cloudy insulin, roll the pen between the palms of your hands 10 times and gently invert it 10 times.
3. Select a new needle, attach it to the pen and remove the protective cap.
4. Test the pen by selecting 2 units. Hold the pen upright and press the button to release the dose, then check that insulin appears at the needle point. If it does not, repeat until it does.
5. Dial the dose you need on the pen.
6. Select an injection site. The most commonly used sites are the abdomen, outer thighs, upper arms or buttocks, but check with your healthcare practitioner for the best sites for you. Rotate your injection sites.
7. Pinch your skin into a fold and fully insert the needle at 90 degrees to your skin.
8. Press the button to release the dose, holding the pen still.
9. Count to 10 before removing the needle, to make sure the full dose is delivered.
10. Remove the pen, take off the needle and dispose of it safely in a sharps bin.

Read these precautions before use:

• Each needle is single use only. Never reuse a pen needle, as it can bend or break.
• Dispose of used needles safely in a sharps bin.
• Check with your healthcare practitioner that this needle length is suitable for you.
• Do not inject into an area of lipohypertrophy (a thickened area of fatty tissue at an injection site), as insulin absorption will be erratic, potentially leading to hypos and other complications. Ask your healthcare provider to show you how to check for these patches.
• Rotate your injection sites.

Bruising or bleeding at the injection site can occur. The manufacturer says this is unpleasant but not dangerous. If you experience pain, bruising or bleeding often, review your injection technique with your healthcare practitioner.
