Carbo Deluxe (DX)

The Carbo Deluxe series represent Carbo’s top-of-the-range needle.

They feature a non-tarnishing, specially formulated pipe-shaped aluminum alloy handle, a consistently sharp needle tip profile, and the extra spring-like, high tensile needle body made of hypoallergenic US vacuum-forged surgical steel.

These needles are packaged with one guide tube per needle. 100 /box

The needles are retained in the blister packaging by a little rubber stopper. The practitioner simply pinches both the handle and the needle to remove both from the packaging, then simply places the tube over the acupoint and taps to insert. This one-handed, no-fuss, no-muss method, once mastered, makes this needle a dream to work with.

Note: Carbo brand needles are non-coated needles.

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.
