An autoinjector needle is a sterile, single-use component designed to deliver medication from a drug-filled cartridge via an autoinjector or pen injector. It is commonly used by individuals who need to self-administer regular doses of substances such as insulin, hormones, or other prescribed pharmaceuticals through subcutaneous injection.
These needles are typically made of stainless steel with a plastic hub for secure attachment to the injector device and are supplied in sterile packaging. Many include safety features like needle shields to help prevent accidental needlestick injuries after use. As single-use devices, they are intended for one injection and then discarded.
