The \"6mm\" is the length, which is short enough to ensure the insulin stays in the fatty tissue and doesn't reach the muscle.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Insupen uses Extreme Point technology, which involves a triple-sharpened tip.

Can I use the same Insupen needle more than once?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>No. Needles are sterile for single use only. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>2. Will this needle fit my insulin pen?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Yes, Insupen needles are designed to be \"universal\" and fit almost all standard insulin pens.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>3. Is 6mm long enough for everyone?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>For most adults and children, 6mm is the clinical standard to reach the fatty layer safely without hitting muscle.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>4. Does the silicone coating make a difference?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Absolutely.
