New breakthrough needle technology
Acupuncture needle tube technology rarely has breakthrough advancements. Asiamed engineers have developed a one step “place and press" needle delivery system. This cutting edge, time saving technology enables the practitioner to remove the needle from the packaging and insert into the acupoint, all in one motion. The standard two-step needle release process of breaking the glue spot with a twist or removing the plastic retainer is now replaced with a patented, specially molded handle and tube technology. The Asiamed engineers have adjusted the release pressure at the precise level that generates a velocity for painless needle insertion.
Originally dubbed “Tap n’ Treat, we found that placing the finger on the handle and pressing the handle releases the needle at the precise velocity to minimize insertion sensation. Pressing the handle also gives the practitioner a very clear insertion experience that confirms the needle was placed quickly and effortlessly.
These new needles are now available in select sizes and over the next few months will replace the standard J-type needle. Another example of how Asiamed is forging ahead with new products for the professional acupuncturist.
We now feel, the best descriptive for the new needle, is to place the needle on the acupoint, place your finger on the handle and gently increase pressure. You will feel a release and the needle will be inserted instantly. Easy as that!
