Chennai, Oct 24 (ANI): A leading global medical technology company launched
a 6 mm insulin syringe needle in India's southern Chennai city on
Wednesday. The company claims it to be the smallest insulin syringe for
diabetic patients. While addressing the media, doctor and diabetologist A.
Paneerselvam expressed the importance of insulin to manage diabetes and
said many patients have trypanophobia. While interacting to media,
Paneerselvam added these needles are partially painless. The needle has
been designed to improve patients' comfort, as it is 25 percent shorter
than the contemporary needles available in the market. Diabetes is a group
of disease characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from
defects in the body's ability to produce or use insulin. It causes blood
sugar levels to rise higher than normal.
