Insulin injection is a core component of daily blood glucose management for people with diabetes, and the safety, comfort, and convenience of injection devices directly affect treatment adherence. As the global number of diabetes patients surpasses 530 million, single-use insulin pen needles have become the mainstream injection consumable. Thanks to continuous technological innovation, these needles have successfully addressed traditional pain points—particularly in preventing needlestick injuries and reducing injection-related discomfort—providing greater reliability for diabetes patients, especially the elderly, who rely on home-based self-treatment. This advancement is driving diabetes management toward a safer and more patient-friendly approach.
In clinical practice, traditional insulin pen needles have long faced two major core challenges: First, the noticeable pain during injection significantly affects patients’ willingness to adhere to treatment; second, the disposal of used needles poses high risks, easily leading to needlestick injuries and infections. Data show that only about 21.9% of diabetes patients properly dispose of their used needles, while the industry average rate of needlestick injuries reaches as high as 15%, posing serious safety hazards for patients, their families, and healthcare professionals. To address these issues, domestic medical companies have spent years conducting intensive research and development, launching a variety of innovative disposable insulin pen needles. Through optimized needle-tip designs and enhanced safety features, these needles have achieved a dual improvement—elevating both the treatment experience and ensuring greater safety.
In terms of pain management, the new-generation product features an ultra-thin needle tip measuring just 0.18 millimeters, combined with a needle-bevel hardening technology and optimized force distribution across eight points, significantly reducing puncture resistance and enabling "minimally painful injections." In the realm of safety protection, the "double-ended protective design" has set a new industry benchmark—abandoning the traditional needle cap in favor of a movable safety sheath. After injection, simply rotating and pulling upward locks the sheath both circumferentially and axially, fully exposing the needle tip while eliminating the need to replace the needle cap, thereby reducing the procedure by two steps. This design is particularly well-suited for elderly patients whose vision and dexterity may be impaired. Clinical data confirm that this innovative product can reduce the incidence of needlestick injuries to below 2%, increase the rate of proper needle disposal by threefold, and substantially lower the risk of infection. Moreover, the product strictly adheres to the national standard GB 15811-2016, "Sterile Single-Use Injection Needles," and employs ethylene oxide sterilization to ensure compliance with stringent sterility requirements. The connection strength between the needle hub and the needle barrel has undergone rigorous testing, effectively preventing issues such as loosening or disconnection during injection.
In scenarios such as home-based treatment and community-based management of chronic diseases, the technological advantages of disposable insulin pen needles paired with insulin pens have been fully demonstrated. For elderly diabetic patients who require long-term home injections, the simplified operation procedures and safe protective designs effectively reduce the difficulty of self-administration. Tracking data from a community health service center involving 120 elderly patients show that after adopting the innovative needle design, treatment adherence increased from 78% to 92%, and the incidence of adverse events caused by improper technique dropped by 80%. In primary healthcare services, standardized disposable consumables not only enhance diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency but also significantly reduce the risk of iatrogenic infections through stringent quality control. To meet the diverse needs of different populations, the market has developed a variety of product specifications, covering different needle lengths and gauges, and compatible with various insulin pen devices, thereby satisfying the injection requirements of children, adults, obese patients, and other groups.
The refinement of industry standards and the growing market demand are jointly driving the standardized development of needles designed for use with disposable insulin pens. From a global market perspective, the size of this product category reached US$1.69 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to US$3.06 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.8%. Innovative products featuring safety protection and precise dosing capabilities have become the mainstream trend. Domestic companies in this field have established comprehensive quality-control systems covering the entire process—from material selection and GMP-compliant clean production to visual inspection. Their products have not only obtained Class II medical device registration certificates in China but have also passed international certifications such as CE and FDA, enabling them to achieve a global presence. In a diabetes standardization management project conducted in a certain region, the widespread adoption of standardized needles designed for disposable insulin pens has boosted the efficiency of diagnostic and therapeutic guidance provided by primary-care healthcare workers by 30%, while patient satisfaction with injection therapy has risen from 65% to 89%.
Medical experts point out that the technological innovation in disposable insulin pen needles represents an important step forward in upgrading China’s consumables for chronic disease management toward greater precision, safety, and user-friendliness. As the population ages and the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, home-based self-management will become the mainstream approach, placing even higher demands on the safety and convenience of injection consumables. In the future, with the integration of technologies such as biodegradable materials and smart sensing, disposable insulin pen needles are poised to achieve new breakthroughs in environmental friendliness and intelligence, further enhancing the patient treatment experience and providing stronger support in terms of consumables for the diabetes prevention and control system.
Blood lancets are specialized medical devices used for collecting blood samples. They must be operated by professionally trained medical personnel (such as nurses and doctors) in medical institutions (hospitals, clinics, physical examination centers, etc.) in accordance with standardized procedures. Individuals are strictly prohibited from using them on their own, as improper operation may lead to risks such as infection, uncontrollable bleeding, and tissue damage.
Sterility: Strict sterile processing, such as ethylene oxide sterilization or irradiation sterilization, is conducted during the production and packaging process to ensure that it will not cause infection during use.
