What is Bd Autoshield Duo?

Bd Autoshield Duo is an over-the-counter 5 mm. needle for use with insulin pen injectors. It has shields on both sides of the needle (front-end injection needle and back-end pen insertion needle) to reduce the risk of needlestick injury. The needle guard mechanism is passive: the front-end needle is visible but behind the shield before the injection, during priming, and after injection.

Use the needle for only one injection and promptly dispose of the needle in a sharps container. The front-end needle displays an orange band after injection to signal the need to dispose of the needle properly.

Bd Autoshield Duo is compatible with several prescription insulin pen needles. Bd Autoshield Duo is also compatible with Forteo teriparatide pen needle for treating osteoporosis.

When you switch to a new pen needle, ask your pharmacist or a healthcare provider to show the proper use of the needle, even if you are experienced using other types of pen needles. If you have used a pen injector and suspect that the insulin is not working, get medical help.
