The insulin pen eliminates the cumbersome process of using a syringe to draw insulin from the insulin bottle, which can save the embarrassment of insulin injection in public places, and brings convenience to patients with poor vision or even blindness to inject insulin.
The types of insulin pens are divided according to the function of use:
1. Reusable insulin pen: After the refill is used up, replace the refill and use it again, and the insulin pen can be used for many years, or even for life. This insulin pen can be bought in our country.
2. Disposable insulin pens: Some insulin pens are disposable use, and after use, throw away the pen with the core and replace it with a new pen. These insulin pens are simple and hygienic. There are few such insulin pens in our country.
Divide the types of insulin pens by manufacturer
1. Insulin pen (Becton Dickinson)
2. Autopen (Owen Mumford)
Different brands of insulin pens have different appearances and operations, and patients should follow the instructions for use when purchasing and learn how to operate them with the help of medical staff.
