How does VetPen Needles 12mm x 29G work?
VetPen uses specifically designed 29G x 12mm needles, which are small, thin, triple-sharpened, and specially lubricated to lower penetration force and minimize pet discomfort. These pens needles conform to the ISO Standard, and are the only needles that should be used with VetPen. Always use a new needle for each injection to ensure the needle is sterile and sharp for best results. A blunt or bent needle may cause discomfort for the pet.

The used syringes and VetPen needles should be disposed of appropriately in a sharps/biohazard receptacle.
What is the most important thing I should know about VetPen Needles 12mm x 29G?
One drop at the end of the needle after injection is normal. If the insulin drips actively, it may be a sign that the needle was removed before the injection was completed. First verify if it was just a drop or if it dripped actively. If the latter, you may be removing the VetPen needle from the skin too soon. To make sure your pet receives a complete dose, be sure to press the release button down fully and hold it until the arrow points to the start line on the dose selector. Then, to allow the VetPen to deliver the full dose, wait 5 to 10 seconds before removing the needle from the skin.
