Permanent needles are special acupuncture needles designed for longer-term use. They are frequently employed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to stimulate specific acupuncture points over an extended period. These needles are particularly fine and are usually made from high-quality metals such as stainless steel, gold or titanium to ensure good tolerability and durability.
The range includes various types of permanent needles, among them ear permanent needles and New Pyonex needles. The needles differ, among other aspects, in their length, thickness and colour, which makes selection easier depending on the area of application and patient type. Typical dimensions range from 0.11 x 0.30 mm to 0.17 x 0.90 mm, and colours such as orange, yellow or green serve for quick identification of the needle size.
The pack sizes usually vary between 80, 100 and 200 units, making them suitable for both private use and professional users. The choice of the appropriate permanent needle depends on the individual treatment requirements and the therapist's preferences. Brands such as ASP, Seirin and AcuTop are known for their quality and precision in the manufacture of permanent needles.
