BD Ultra-Fine Nano Pen Needle
- At 4mm x 32G, the BD Nano is clinically proven as effective as longer pen needles for patients of ALL sizes.1,2,3
- Nano provides equivalent glycemic control as compared to longer pen needles.4
- 72% of patients who tried the new BD Nano preferred it over their current pen needle.9
The BD Nano is proven less painful.10
- In a clinical trial, patients found the 4mm pen needle to be significantly less painful than both the 5mm and 8mm pen needles
The BD Nano has been shown to be less intimidating.11
- In the post-clinical patient survey, a significant number of patients trying the Nano experienced little or no anxiety before injecting
- 88% of the patients reported feeling “not at all anxious” after seeing the 4mm pen needle
- Ideal for patients looking for a more comfortable injection experience, especially those new to injection
The BD Nano is easier to teach, learn and use.
- Allows for a single-handed, no-pinch technique, which gives more patients the option to inject in their upper arm and buttocks
