Diabetes patients have long dreamed of less painful insulin therapy. Now, Terumo brings that dream to life. The NANOPASS® 33 is in a class of its own when it comes to reducing the physical and mental strain of daily insulin therapy.
With the world's thinnest and the first double-tapered structure, innovation from Terumo delivers smiles to everyone looking for more gentle Diabetes therapy.

The World's Thinnest Pen Needle
33G (Ø 0.2mm)
The thinner an injection needle is, the less scarring and pain it causes. The diameter of the tip of NANOPASS® 33 is only 0.2mm. That means up to 33% thinner than a conventional 30G needle.

- Scarring from needles of various gauge sizes
The World's First Double-Tapered Needle
With the realization of double-tapered structure, NANOPASS® 33 has gone beyond conventional technology. The thinner a needle is, the greater its infusion resistance. Terumo's new technology made the realization of infusion resistance of 31G possible with the thinnest 33G pen needle.
