Unifine Pentips Insulin Pen Needles

For anyone managing diabetes with an insulin pen, the needle is the part that actually touches you several times a day — so comfort and fit matter more than almost anything else. Unifine Pentips from Owen Mumford are 31-gauge, tri-bevel needles built with an ultra-thin wall design, which widens the internal channel for a smoother insulin flow and a noticeably gentler injection. The tri-bevel tip is engineered to reduce penetration force, so each dose feels less like a jab and more like a quick, clean stick.

This collection carries the two most-requested lengths: the 6 mm Unifine Pentips (AN 1190) and the 8 mm Unifine Pentips (AN 1130). Both are 31G, sterile, single-use, and feature a universal plastic hub that threads onto virtually every standard insulin pen on the market. Choosing between them usually comes down to injection technique and body composition — shorter 6 mm needles suit many adults and reduce the need for a pinched skin fold, while 8 mm needles remain a familiar, dependable choice for those who have used them for years. Both deliver insulin into the subcutaneous tissue as intended when proper technique is followed.

A quick reminder that applies to every pen needle: they are designed for a single use. Reusing needles dulls the point and increases discomfort, and rotating injection sites helps protect your skin over time. Buying a full box keeps a fresh needle on hand for every dose without the temptation to reuse.

If you'd prefer a needle with a built-in safety shield to guard against accidental sticks — a common requirement in clinical and caregiver settings — take a look at Unifine Pentips Plus, which pairs the same tri-bevel comfort with an integrated inner needle guard.
