Acufast Earth Friendly Spring Needles Coated

Acufast needles are the world’s first consciously produced environmentally friendly acupuncture needle brand. The manufacturer has chosen low impact metals, reduced packaging sizes, used repurposed biodegradable materials for outer packages. These plus other features make this an exciting product for both ease insertion, performance , and reduction of waste.

The needles are Spring handle style needles made from surgical grade stainless steel. They are machine sharpened for precision tips and are partially coated with medical grade silicone for a very smooth insertion.

Acufast needles come vacuum sealed in pouch packs of 10 per pouch.
Please note that tubes sold separately (no more wasted tubes). 

The small size pouch packs are 100% recyclable and are made from PET plastic. All pouch packs utilize a patented easy-to-tear top making them simple and effortless to open.

The pouches are shipped in boxes made from sugar cane fiber (bagasse) which is biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable.

With the smallest size package on the market for 1000 needles, Acufast occupies minimal space during shipping when compared to leading brands. This reduced size packaging results in a reduced amount of pollution caused by burning fossil fuels to transport goods. Combined with re-purposed sugarcane fibre boxes, reduced plastic tubes, and additional accessories Acufast truly is a smart choice for today’s burdened planet!

Need Extra Tubes? Packages of 50 extra tubes are available for just .50 cents! We offer 50 empty tubes (five 10-packs) so that you don’t have to fuss with emptying the tube that is holding the needles in order to use it for insertion. Add the extra tubes when you need them when placing your order for speedpaks!

Electro-Stimulation and Acupuncture needles:
While the risk of needle breakage during electro-acupuncture is very low, scientific research and data from Korean and Chinese sources indicate that electrostimulation should not be applied to needles 0.18 mm or thinner. During electrostimulation, these finer needles may be more susceptible to shaft fatigue, coating stress, and corrosion—particularly if the coating integrity is compromised. Although electrostimulation remains safe across a wide range of clinical scenarios, this precautionary notice aligns with international safety guidelines and supports the continued commitment to high standards of care and patient safety.
