Large‑platform hexagonal hub (Hextra Tech) offers superior stability and ease of grip; ISO 13485 & CE certified; launched by a leading regional diabetes distributor and 4,000+ pharmacies
ISTANBUL, Oct. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sandstone Medical — a SteriLance Medical sub‑brand focused on diabetes self‑injection — today announced the introduction of its Easydrip™ Plus pen needles into the Turkish market through a leading regional diabetes distributor with a nationwide pharmacy network. The launch is already unlocking interest from neighbouring Middle‑East markets.
Key advantages
- Hextra Tech hexagonal hub — a broad, six‑facet platform that helps patients keep the pen steady during insertion, reducing wobble, bruising and needle bending versus conventional narrow‑hub pen needles.
- Greater dosing confidence — the enlarged contact surface promotes a consistent injection angle, supporting accurate sub‑cutaneous delivery.
- Thin‑wall cannula with silicone lubrication — minimises penetration force and shortens injection time for a gentler daily routine.
Market relevance
As the first pen needle with a patent‑protected hexagonal hub available in Turkey, Easydrip™ Plus is already attracting interest from neighbouring countries and sets a practical alternative between premium global brands and low‑end generics.
Availability & next steps
- Current channel: nationwide community pharmacies, often bundled with blood‑glucose meters.
- Planned expansion: influencer‑driven digital campaigns and e‑commerce to reach online‑first consumers across Turkey and neighbouring states.
Certifications
Easydrip™ Plus is manufactured under a strict ISO 13485 quality system and holds CE Declaration of Conformity, meeting international safety and performance standards.
