Eastern Currents - Your Canadian Distributor of Asiamed Needles

State-of-the-art needles from Germany

As the designer and manufacturer, Asiamed can guarantee that each and every needle produced has been subjected to the most stringent quality control procedures.

Asiamed needles are engineered with extreme precision. Each needle tip is machine ground and photographed by a computer. The photograph is then matched to predefined specifications and is then either accepted or rejected. The result is 100% needle tip conformity for smooth, painless insertion. The entire length of the needle shaft is coated with a micro layer of FDA-approved bio-inert silicone, making it super-smooth for ease of penetration into deeper tissue.

Whether it be body acupuncture, auricular acupuncture or acupuncture detoxifcation procedures, Asiamed manufactures state-of-the-art products to suit all your needling needs.
