The investigated robust needle EXP is on par with the single-use needle NF30 in terms of tissue trauma, which is further reduced by combining the needle with a needle shield. These results should encourage the innovation and development of durable, reusable injection systems with pharmacoeconomic and environmental value and a simplified and enhanced user experience for patients.
