Nanopass®
32.5G Needle for Pen Injectors
Description
The Nanopass 32.5G pen needle is intended for use with a pen injector device for the subcutaneous injection of drugs including insulin and human growth hormone.
The Nanopass 32.5-range offers three different lengths – allowing to choose the suitable pen needle for each patient type.
Terumo has put its knowledge about reducing injection pain into the design of Nanopass 32.5G. Also users of long needles will benefit from it.
Nanopass 32.5G offers patients a more convenient insulin injection by applying dedicated Terumo technologies.
Characteristics
CharacteristicsAsymetric bevel1
The unique asymmetric bevel1 of Nanopass cuts the skin instead of puncturing it. This decreases the resistance while penetrating the skin – designed to reduce pain.2
Special thin pen needle size
The special thin pen needle size of only 32.5G (0.22 mm) causes less skin trauma than larger needle sizes.3
Terumo-thin wall technology
The large inner diameter of Nanopass 32.5G optimizes the insulin flow for an easy insulin injection.
Colour coding
Colour Coding for easy identification of the preferred pen needle length.
