Low-cost needles without a compromise in manufacturing standards
A better-than-standard Chinese-made needle. Optimed acupuncture needles are made in the same vertically integrated manufacturing plant as Carbo brand needles. This means that the only difference between the needles is the metal used to make the shaft. The Optimed needles are made from Chinese surgical steel which has a higher nickel content than its US vacuum-forged counterpart. For those who want the best price available, these needles offer low cost without a compromise in manufacturing standards.
Optimed OT1
Handle: Aluminum wire-wound loop
Guide tubes: Yes. One needle per guide tube
Optimed needles are made of good quality Chinese-made surgical grade stainless steel.
Optimed OT5
Handle: Aluminum wire-wound loop
Guide tubes: Five needles for one guide tube
The Optimed OT5 needles are the bulk-pack version of the OT1 needles. Five needles are packaged in one tube, which saves time while minimizing waste. Great for practitioners who like to freehand their needle insertion.
