Pen needles for weight loss pens are designed for single-use, ensuring a hygienic and safe injection process. These needles are typically made from stainless steel and are finely sharpened for minimal discomfort when injecting. They are easy to attach to the weight loss pen, allowing for a precise and controlled dosage. After each use, it is important to dispose of the pen needle safely to avoid accidental injuries and to prevent the spread of infections.

Use:

1. Attach the pen needle to the weight loss pen according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Inject the prescribed dose into the fatty tissue, typically in areas like the abdomen or thigh, as directed by your healthcare provider.
3. Once the injection is complete, remove the needle from the pen.

Disposal in Sharps Bin: Pen needles should never be reused or disposed of in household waste. After use, immediately place the needle in a dedicated sharps bin. A sharps bin is a puncture-resistant container that is designed to safely hold used needles and prevent accidental needle-stick injuries. The 1L sharps bin is perfect for home use, offering a compact and secure way to dispose of needles.

Correct Disposal:

1. Ensure that the sharps bin is not overfilled and that the lid is securely closed.
2. Do not attempt to bend, break, or recap needles before disposal.
3. Follow your local council’s guidelines for the safe collection and disposal of sharps waste. Many councils provide free or low-cost services for collecting filled sharps bins, or they may have designated collection points at local pharmacies or healthcare facilities.

By disposing of pen needles in a sharps bin, you help to reduce the risk of injury and ensure that your waste is handled safely and in accordance with local regulations. Always check with your local council for proper disposal methods and services available in your area.
