How does the the jet injector work? :O like how is it able to break the skin to get in.
ReplyDeleteAnd would it hurt?
It forces the insulin through the skin through pressure. Yup, some people do think the jet injector hurts more. Still, the plus side is that it doesn't puncture the skin!But it may cause bruising if the technique used for administration of the insulin is not correct.
