NovoTwist® Needles

NovoTwist® is the first single-twist needle that can make needle attachment quicker.

User-friendly by design.

Push-and-twist action snaps needle into place to save you time
One click you can hear and feel confirms needle is securely attached
Available in 30G (8mm) and 32G Tip (5mm)—our thinnest needle

NovoTwist® carries thin needles.

FlexPen® should be used with NovoTwist® or NovoFine® disposable needles. NovoTwist®, our 32G Tip needle, is the thinnest needle available in the United States from Novo Nordisk.

The thickness of a needle is called its "gauge." The higher the gauge number, the thinner the needle. (For example, a 32-gauge needle is thinner than a 30-gauge needle.)

In fact, 90% of people surveyed found the NovoFine® 30-gauge needle to be practically pain-free. The needle recommended for FlexPen® is an even thinner NovoTwist® 32G Tip needle.

How do you inject with NovoFine® or NovoTwist®?

The needle goes right into the fat underneath your skin. Your insulin will move from the fat into your bloodstream. The NovoFine® 32G needle is 6 millimeters long, and the NovoTwist® 32G Tip needle is only 5 millimeters long, to help you avoid injecting into muscle.


Needles are sold separately and may require a prescription in some states. Needles and FlexPen® must not be shared.
