The best
I’m thin with not much fat so these short and very fine needles are awesome for me.
Roger E. Popham
This is a good product,
I gave this to my neighbor next door. He needs to use this thing. According to his reaction, this needle is better than the one he is using now because the needle is smaller and less likely to feel pain. He said he is very grateful to me and recommends it to people who need it. This is a good product.

Can Droplet Micron be used for obese patients?
Yes, Micron is suitable for ALL patients. Everyone’s skin thickness is between 2 and 2.5mm, on average, regardless of BMI, gender, and age.
Droplet Micron is 3.5mm, long enough to enter the subcutaneous tissue where the insulin needs to go.
This needle is small... Will insulin/medication go through it?
Yes, Micron is long enough to penetrate the subcutaneous tissue where insulin should be deposited. It is important to utilize proper injection technique, including holding the needle in place for 10 seconds after the medication is released.
Will the needle break or bend?
As long as the injection was correctly administered, following the proper injection techniques, including not reutilizing the needle, Droplet Micron will not break or bend.
Can Droplet Micron be used more than once?
Pen needles should only be used once, then dispose. This can increase the chance of experiencing pain when injecting as the needle tip is dulled; used needles also increase risk and cause possible needle clogging and inaccurate dosing.
With what medications can I use Droplet Micron?
Droplet Micron is intended for use with a pen injector device for the subcutaneous injection of medication, including insulin and GLP-1 RAs.
