Haselmeier announces launch of Sanofi half-unit insulin pen

Suitable for all Sanofi insulin types, the new and reusable half-unit insulin pen JuniorSTAR is now available in Germany. It provides individual dosage, which can be corrected easily. Furthermore, it has a large display to ensure the correct dosage and is a lightweight companion during the day, especially for young people with diabetes.

“The launch of JuniorSTAR marks another milestone of a long-term partnership with Sanofi," said Sandra de Haan, director project management at Haselmeier and project manager responsible for the JuniorSTAR. "After the single unit pen TactiPen, the portfolio is now complete with the half-unit pen JuniorSTAR. The JuniorSTAR delivers 1 to 30 units in steps of 0.5. Thanks to the close cooperation of both teams, we were able to develop an excellent pen that meets current, very high quality requirements.”

“The JuniorSTAR expands our portfolio for people suffering from diabetes,” said Hamit Oualali, global device manager for reusable pens at Sanofi. “Being flexible and easy to handle, it is especially suitable for young people with type 1 diabetes. The close and excellent cooperation with Haselmeier was an important part for the successful development of the JuniorSTAR.”

The pen comes in red, blue and silver for easy differentiation of various insulin types.

The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design has already honoured the JuniorSTAR pen for its new and fully developed technology with the Good Design Award.
