Steady Shot, a plastic attachment for insulin pens, has two arms that extend past the needle tip and press into the skin at a 90-degree angle. The device aims to stabilize the needle making it easier to inject insulin.

  • Two-pronged design attaches to 4, 5, or 6 mm pen needles, steadying the needle to prevent bending and ensure accurate insulin delivery
  • Enables one-handed injections in hard-to-reach areas (e.g., arms, back, buttocks), reducing overuse of sites like the abdomen and thighs, which can cause lipohypertrophy
  • Compresses skin with plastic wings, masking needle insertion and reducing pain/bruising, especially for kids or newly diagnosed patients with needle fears
  • Reusable for 6+ months, portable, and fits most insulin pens; requires sterilization and simple attachment/removal process for daily use
  • Helps report better blood glucose management due to consistent injections and reduced dose leakage, with less irritation and scarring at injection sites
