The KwikPen is part of a new generation of prefilled, single-dose, portable insulin injection pens. The refined design optimizes function and performance and illustrates IDEO’s capacity to continually produce designs that are both technologically and aesthetically innovative. Measuring less than six inches long, the KwikPen’s condensed size allows for easy transportation, and the legible dose levels contribute to its usability.
