Never seen one. There was talk on here a few months back bemoaning the lack of one. I'm not sure what volume of insulin diabetics inject....

Ah, just got back from checking the insulin pens - it seems they all come with pre-filled cartridges.

TAB100, I haven't geard a request for one of these in a while, about 3 years. And just the other day, I asked the guy who sources a lot of items for me, "I wonder if they still sell those inj clickers"? Lol, I have ADD and over the years I go with the name that sticks in my head rather than best myself up for not remembering. At least I can describe it after that, if need be.

When I found them, they had similar options just as slin (Insulin) pins; needle size, barrel amount of different sizes to allow for larger amounts of reconstituted items or smaller "pens" for straight up, re-located meds.

I do not believe I have any of these sites saved anywhere, but I will check. I do remember when I began to look at all the search results. The main topic we started with was EpiPens, or separated, Epi Pens, Google should pick that up. We also added in Epi Pens for Norditropin or whatever growth hormone is popular these days and advertise the use of pens on their main sites.

The barrel area was normally clear and the pins were designed to rotate after each use like a revolver, to fit the shape of the pen, round.

They can also be found on China trade sites, such as, Alibaba, etc. I don't know where you live or what your import issues are, but I would think those should arrive unmolested as long as you're not in Australia. I hear it's tough getting anything there. And I'm not so sure everything isn't just repackaged and from China anyway. :)

Anyway, hope this helps. It is surely the route to go from an ease of use and pain standpoint. Have a wonderful day!!
