Sandstone Medical Launches Patent-Protected Hexagonal Hub Pen Needles in Turkey for Enhanced Diabetes Care
核心洞察
Sandstone Medical (搜索) has introduced its Easydrip™ Plus (搜索) pen needles featuring a patent-protected hexagonal hub technology in Turkey through a leading regional diabetes (搜索) distributor and 4,000+ pharmacies.
The innovative Hextra Tech hexagonal hub design offers superior stability and ease of grip, helping patients maintain steady pen positioning during injection to reduce wobble, bruising, and needle bending.
The pen needles feature thin-wall cannula with silicone lubrication to minimize penetration force and shorten injection time, providing a gentler daily injection routine for diabetes (搜索) patients.
Sandstone Medical (搜索), a SteriLance Medical (搜索) sub-brand focused on diabetes (搜索) self-injection solutions, announced the launch of its Easydrip™ Plus (搜索) pen needles in the Turkish market on October 11, 2025. The innovative pen needles feature a patent-protected hexagonal hub technology and are being distributed through a leading regional diabetes distributor with a nationwide pharmacy network spanning over 4,000 pharmacies.
Revolutionary Hexagonal Hub Technology
The Easydrip™ Plus (搜索) pen needles incorporate Hextra Tech, a broad six-facet hexagonal platform designed to help patients maintain pen stability during insertion. This innovative design reduces wobble, bruising, and needle bending compared to conventional narrow-hub pen needles. The enlarged contact surface promotes a consistent injection angle, supporting accurate subcutaneous delivery and providing greater dosing confidence for diabetes (搜索) patients.
The pen needles also feature a thin-wall cannula with silicone lubrication, which minimizes penetration force and shortens injection time, creating a gentler daily routine for patients requiring regular insulin injections.
Market Positioning and Expansion Plans
As the first pen needle with patent-protected hexagonal hub technology available in Turkey, Easydrip™ Plus (搜索) is already generating interest from neighboring countries in the Middle East region. The product positions itself as a practical alternative between premium global brands and low-end generic options in the diabetes (搜索) care market.
Currently available through nationwide community pharmacies, the pen needles are often bundled with blood-glucose meters. Sandstone Medical (搜索) plans to expand its reach through influencer-driven digital campaigns and e-commerce platforms to target online-first consumers across Turkey and neighboring states.
Quality Standards and Certifications
The Easydrip™ Plus (搜索) pen needles are manufactured under strict ISO 13485 quality system standards and hold CE Declaration of Conformity, meeting international safety and performance standards. This certification ensures the product meets rigorous quality requirements for medical devices used in diabetes (搜索) care.
