NEW PRODUCT

Injection Locator

  With the use of the INJECTION LOCATOR, a patient is evenly spacing and rotating injection sites on a regular basis. Thus ensuring that the skin will heal fully between injections, the insulin will be absorbed throughout the "healthy tissue" and distributed properly, thereby enabling the blood sugar to remain in the normal range.  The device is a flexible template that can conform to any area of the body commonly used for injecting. The Injection Locator has (60) punched holes that are numbered corresponding to the days of the month and are known as "date locations". These locations give the self-injecting patient up to 186 different injection sites and up to 403 sites for the patient who has assistance with injecting insulin.   Click Here
