Droplet Micron was designed to help free people with diabetes from this routinely anxious cycle so that people injecting diabetes medications feel better about every injection, every time.

Micron is the shortest and thinnest pen needle ever.¹ It’s as reliable, effective and safe as your current pen needle.²

Micron reduces penetration force by up to 50%.³ Less penetration force means a less painful injection.^3-6

Micron's tapered and polished tip is designed for maximum comfort,^3,7 prompting 98% of people to recommend it to others.⁸

Injection experiences are inconsistent enhancing anticipatory anxiety. Furthermore, people who have good glycemic management, HbA1C 7% or less, report a significantly lower fear of needles than those with HbA1c>7%.

“Even though I inject every day, I still hesitate before my injections.”

Shorter and thinner needles cause less anxiety, pain and discomfort, and lead to better acceptance and adherence to insulin.

The needle acts as a visual stimulus for pain perception. Just seeing the needle length is correlated to painful insertions (P=0.043). Furthermore, shorter and thinner needles, provoke less painful insertions, bleeding, and bruising.

“I want a needle that’s so small it seems almost invisible”

Shorter and thinner needles are expected to relieve patient pain and fear caused by the visual stimulus of the needle’s appearance.

Clinical studies demonstrate that penetration force is correlated with insertion pain with higher gauge needles reporting less occurrence and intensity of pain. 47% of patients report that they would improve their adherence if a product eased pain.

In the PICASSO study, 34Gx3.5mm pen needles demonstrated a reduction in the mean peak penetration force by up to 50% P<0.0001.

“The difference is noticeable (with Micron)!
It was smooth and needed less force.”
-Sue

A thinner needle will reduce needle penetration force (PF) and patients can expect a more comfortable injection due to experiencing less pain
