Clickfine pen needles are a brand of insulin pen needles distributed in the United States by Perrigo Diabetes Care and manufactured by Ypsomed AG. Clickfine pen needles are used to inject insulin for the treatment of diabetes.

Clickfine pen needles are made in Switzerland and feature a patented technology that enables users to 'click-on' the pen needle to attach it to the injection pen. The click-on feature generates an audible 'click' to confirm that the Clickfine pen needle is attached.

Description

Each Clickfine pen needle attaches to an insulin pen through a plastic needle hub. These hubs are specially designed to allow a click-on or screw-on attachment to the pen, depending on the user's preference. Each pen needle features two protective caps as well as a layer of foil to protect the user and ensure sterility.

Clickfine pen needles are available in three sizes: 6 mm (1/4"), 31 gauge; 8mm (5/16"), 31 gauge; 12 mm (1/2"), 29 gauge.

Market Share and Acceptance

While insulin pen needles account for more than 80 percent of insulin delivery product sales in Europe and Canada, the market share in the U.S. is less than 25 percent. This market share is growing, as evidenced by pen needles' 40 percent sales growth in the U.S. in recent years.

An independent study found that the 64 percent of people with diabetes surveyed preferred click-on pen needles to traditional screw-on needles.
