High quality TeWa (pronounced 'Tay-vah') brand needles are bi-metallic, composed of a stainless steel shaft and a traditional copper-wound loop handle.

Needle tips are ground by automated machines, thereby ensuring perfect needle tip consistency. 

Practitioners have noted that bimetallic needles made of copper/stainless steel have a stronger energetic effect than those made up of metals with similar energetics, (i.e. stainless steel paired with aluminum or chrome). The yin/yang nature of the different metals creates an electron transfer which give the needles an enhanced energy.

In sizes from .05 mm to 125mm (4") in length and .16 to .35 mm in thickness, coated TeWa needles are available now. Coated needles have a micro-layer of bio-inert FDA-approved silicone which reduces friction on insertion, enabling practitioners to reach target depth AND minimize patient discomfort. 

Non-coated TeWas are great for practitioners who use direct moxa, or have patients with an allergy to silicone.

Each TeWa needle 40mm and longer is packaged in a Safe-T Sleeve™, the world’s first two-part guide tube. The Safe-T-Sleeve™ is the latest innovation in needle delivery, providing increased patient comfort and clean needle assurance.
