Choose pen needles by specification and system fit
Pen needles are replacement consumables for compatible injection pens. Start with the instructions for your exact pen model, then compare the specified needle length, gauge and pack quantity. A medicine name or a shared manufacturer does not by itself establish compatibility.
Compare the listed formats
- BD Micro-fine+ includes a 4 mm, 0.23 mm format.
- BD Ultra-Fine products include 5 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm lengths in 31G formats.
- NovoFine includes a 6 mm, 31G format.
- BRP Fine specifications depend on the selected variant; check its length and gauge.
Read the product and variant information for the exact dimensions and pack contents. Length and gauge describe different characteristics. A shorter needle or higher gauge number is not a universal recommendation for every person or device.
Insulin and other pen systems
Pen designs can differ between markets and product versions, including devices sold under the same medicine brand. Confirm that the pen uses removable needles and that the chosen needle is listed as compatible. Follow the device instructions and your established care plan for use.
Storage and disposal supplies
Check the packaging condition, expiry and single-use instructions. Compare HaseMed sharps-container formats in injection accessories, then follow the container instructions and local disposal requirements. Browse diabetes supplies for compatible meter strips and insulin-syringe formats.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What pen needle size is right for me?
For most adults, a 4 mm or 5 mm pen needle at 31G or 32G is recommended by current medical guidelines, regardless of body mass index. Shorter needles (4 mm) are the safest choice because they reliably reach the subcutaneous fat layer without risking intramuscular injection. If you are unsure, consult your diabetes care team for a personalised recommendation.
How often should I change my pen needle?
You should use a new pen needle for every single injection. Reusing needles causes the ultra-fine tip to bend and develop microscopic barbs, which increases pain and tissue damage. Repeated use also raises the risk of lipodystrophy – hardened lumps under the skin that impair insulin absorption.
Are all pen needles universally compatible?
Yes, virtually all pen needles on the market – including BD Ultra-Fine, NovoFine, and BRP Fine – use the universal ISO standard thread and fit all major insulin and GLP-1 pens from Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Lilly, and others. You can choose any brand of pen needle regardless of which pen device you use.
What is the difference between 31G and 32G pen needles?
The gauge (G) number indicates the needle’s thickness – the higher the number, the thinner the needle. A 32G needle (0.23 mm diameter) is thinner than a 31G needle (0.25 mm diameter), resulting in slightly less pain during injection. The difference is small but can be noticeable, especially for children or patients who inject multiple times daily.
Can I use pen needles for Ozempic or Wegovy?
Yes. Ozempic and Wegovy pens use the same universal pen needle connection as insulin pens. All pen needles in our collection – BD Ultra-Fine, NovoFine, and BRP Fine – are fully compatible with Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, Victoza, and other GLP-1 receptor agonist pens. A 4 mm or 5 mm needle is typically recommended.
Are pen needles available without a prescription?
Yes, pen needles are classified as medical devices and are freely available without a prescription in Germany. You can order them directly from our online shop without needing a doctor’s prescription. However, patients with a prescription may be able to have the cost covered by their health insurance – check with your provider.
How do I dispose of used pen needles properly?
Used pen needles must be placed in a puncture-resistant sharps container – never in regular household waste. After injection, carefully recap the outer cap using the one-hand scoop technique, unscrew the needle, and drop it into the container. Once full, sealed sharps containers can be returned to most pharmacies in Germany free of charge.
Can I buy pen needles on account (invoice)?
Yes, at Parahealth we offer purchase on invoice (Kauf auf Rechnung) as a payment option for customers in Germany. You receive your pen needles first and pay within the stated payment period. We also offer additional payment methods including PayPal, credit card, and instant bank transfer (Sofortüberweisung).
