Features

Headless needle. Stiffer handle for better handling. (the thickness of the steel wire of the handle is 0.08 mm greater than that of the acupuncture needle, this allows us greater resistance)

Uses class I, type II* steel. High resistance surgical steel. This type of steel is much better, higher hardness, achieves a longer sharpening life, for multiple insertions

Differences with traditional needles

* Class I, type II steel

Surgical Steel is a variation of steel that is commonly composed of an alloy of chromium (12–20%), molybdenum (0.2–3%) and, sometimes, nickel (8 –12%).

- Chromium gives this metal its resistance to wear and corrosion.

- Nickel gives it a smooth, polished finish.

- Molybdenum gives it greater hardness and helps maintain the sharpness of the edge.

High-strength 17-4 surgical stainless steel tends to have a molybdenum composition of 2% instead of the 0.8% that classic acupuncture needles have. Due to the high cost of this material, it is normally used in low proportions to avoid making the products more expensive. In our case, the concentration is highly increased to achieve the desired effects. (Improves sharpening duration, higher precision sharpening)

*Note: The measurements of the needles are expressed in millimeters. The first number indicates the thickness and the second the length.
