胰岛素注射笔提高了糖尿病患者注射胰岛素的简易性和便利性。本文回顾了一种新的预充式胰岛素笔FlexTouch(R)的数据。FlexTouch拥有一种新颖的注射机制，没有按钮延伸，注射力量低于其他预填充的笔，其他功能包括剂量结束点击、大剂量显示、区分不同胰岛素类型的彩色编码笔、符合人体工程学的设计以及与NovoTwist(R)针和大多数螺纹针的兼容性。FlexTouch已被证明在最小剂量、半最大剂量和最大剂量下持续和准确地输送胰岛素。在招募患者和医疗保健专业人员的可用性研究中，FlexTouch比其他预填充笔更容易使用，并注入更多信心，而且比其他预填充笔更受欢迎。研究还发现，FlexTouch更容易使用，更适合学习和教学使用。
Insulin injection pens have improved the ease and convenience of administering insulin for people with diabetes. This article reviews the data on a new prefilled insulin pen, FlexTouch (R). FlexTouch has a novel injection mechanism with no push-button extension and a lower injection force than other prefilled pens, and other features including an end-of-dose click; a large dose display; color-coded pens to distinguish different insulin types; an ergonomic design; and compatibility with both NovoTwist (R) needles and most screw-thread needles. FlexTouch has been demonstrated to deliver insulin consistently and accurately at minimum, half-maximum and maximum doses. In usability studies recruiting patients and healthcare professionals, FlexTouch was easier to use and instilled more confidence than other prefilled pens, and was preferred to other prefilled pens. FlexTouch was also found to be easier to use and was preferred for learning and teaching to use.
