Near-Painless Intradermal Delivery — 26G Ultra-Thin for Precise Skin Work

The Terumo Hypodermic Needle 26G x ½" provides superior patient comfort with its brown ISO color-coded hub and precision engineering. This micro-thin 26-gauge (0.45 mm) needle with 13 mm (½") length features a sharp point and silicone coating for smooth, near-painless puncture at the skin level.

The thin-walled design ensures effortless injection, while the semi-transparent hub allows reliable flashback recognition. Short bevel geometry reduces tissue trauma — ideal for intradermal and very shallow subcutaneous applications.
