Pre-filled Pens

Ease of Use, Accuracy and Consistency of Delivery


The pre-filled pen is the latest innovation for administering FSH treatments.

The pre-filled pen does not need reconstitution or cartridge assembly, thereby reducing the number of steps before injection. As the Bourn Hall research indicated, this is an essential aspect of the procedure as it provides reassurance to the patient that they are injecting an accurate and correct dose. Pre-filled pens allow individualised dosing in both Ovulation Induction (OI) and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).

The pre-filled pen promotes accurate dosing and ease of use by having:

  • Reduced number of steps before injection
  • No cartridge assembly
  • A clear and visible dosing scale
  • A dosage control scale so that patients can double check the set dose
  • Transparent reservoir so that patients can see that they have injected the full dose
  • The facility to re-dial before the injection button is pulled out

Equipment


  • Pre-filled pen
  • Single use disposable needles
  • Alcohol swabs
  • Sharps container
N.B. The pen can be stored at room temperature (no higher than 25ºC) between injections.
