NovoFine^® Needles

NovoFine^® needles are part of the complete Novo Nordisk delivery system. We advise that you always use a NovoFine^® 6mm or 8mm needle with a Novo Nordisk injection device.

All NovoFine^® needles are available from Diabetes Australia.

NovoFine Product Range
• NovoFine^® 28G, 0.36 mm x 12 mm 
• NovoFine^® 30G, 0.30 mm x 8 mm
• NovoFine^® 31G, 0.25 mm x 6 mm

Smaller diameter - increased patient comfort
New technologies have made it possible to produce NovoFine^® needles with a much finer diameter than before. NovoFine^® 30G and 31G needles have been shown to be significantly less painful than thicker 27G and 28G needles^{1, 2} leading to improved patient satisfaction.
