Steady Shot Insulin Aid - Improve Injection Site Rotation

Steady Shot: Your Essential Diabetes Injection Aid

Steady Shot is the perfect companion for those using 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm diabetes pen needles. Designed by a Type 1 diabetic, this accessory allows for easy, one-handed insulin injections and simplifies site rotation to improve overall diabetes management. Certified Diabetes Educators recommend rotating injection sites, and with Steady Shot, you can easily reach your abdomen, thighs, arms, lower back, and buttocks, ensuring better insulin absorption and reducing the risk of bruising and scar tissue (lipohypertrophy).

With Steady Shot, you’ll receive two different sizes—small and large. Test both sizes to find the perfect fit for each injection site, giving you flexibility and comfort during every use. This reusable aid is designed to make injections easier and more stable, improving your overall diabetes care routine.

Why Choose Steady Shot?

• Improved Insulin Site Rotation: Steady Shot is designed for seamless one-handed injections, making it easy to rotate between injection sites like the abdomen, thighs, arms, lower back, and buttocks. By rotating sites, you reduce the risk of lipohypertrophy, which can affect insulin absorption and cause discomfort.
• Better Diabetes Management: Consistent rotation of injection sites enhances insulin absorption and reduces pain, bruising, and scarring. Steady Shot supports this process by making it easier to reach new injection areas.
• Enhanced Stability: Steady Shot stabilizes the pen needle during injection, ensuring precise insulin delivery. It’s ideal for new users, people with dexterity or mobility challenges, elderly patients, or even when injecting on the go.
• Reusable & Convenient: Attach Steady Shot to your pen needle for consistent, steady injections. Small and portable, it fits easily into any diabetes kit, making it a convenient solution for daily management.
• Type 1 Diabetic-Created: Developed by a Type 1 diabetic who experienced bruising from repetitive injections, Steady Shot was born out of necessity. Created as a student project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, it’s a tool designed with real-world challenges in mind.

Pen Needles Incompatible with Steady Shot

• Owen Mumford: Any Owen Mumford brand pen needles such as UniFine.
• NovoFine Plus or NovoTwist: These pen needles by NovoNordisk have a unique base. Steady Shot only works with standard NovoNordisk pen needles like NovoFine.
• BD Nano 2nd Generation: Steady Shot can attach to BD Nano 2nd Generation pen needles, but the smaller inner cap of the needle must be removed first. It works best with standard BD Pen Needles such as BD Nano Ultrafine.
