Does it say on the needles what brand they are? I'd look up the make online and see what they are described as.

It's normal for the ones Med Express send. Some brands have inner caps and some don't.

Yes Braun. I’ll have a look!

Yes that's normal - it depends what brand they send. Most the time I had the ones with no inner cap.

I have never had one with an inner cap, didn’t even know that was a thing.

I've used three suppliers so far (Superdrug, MedExpress and Oushk) only MedExpress sends needles without the inner cap. I'm not sure it makes a lot of difference - its not as if the needle is going to come in contact with anything after you fix it to the pen and before you inject it.

I don't suppose it makes much difference as some do come like that, but mine from medexpress have all got iinner caps.

Shrinkingrose · 20/01/2025 11:38

Can someone post a photo of this inner cap? Mine always came with a sort of pen lid thing, no inner cap, which I assume means a cap within that?

Some of mine had an inner cap and some didn't. I just assumed different brands
