AcuTopIndwelling Needles0.22 x 1.50 mm

AcuTop press needles are sterile acupuncture needles designed for the continuous stimulation of an acupuncture point over several days. Each needle comes pre-mounted on a skin-friendly, breathable plaster that is fixed directly to the skin after insertion. One pack contains 100 single-use press needles.

Press needles are used primarily in ear acupuncture, and also on body points whenever stimulation is meant to continue beyond the treatment session. They have proven their worth in addiction therapy and sports medicine, among other fields, and are intended for TCM practitioners, physicians and therapists with appropriate training.

• Sterile, single-use acupuncture needles
• Pre-mounted on a breathable, skin-friendly plaster
• Reliable adhesion for wear over several days

• 100 press needles per pack, economical for daily practice
• Used in TCM for continuous point stimulation

Needle size follows the treatment area: short, fine press needles suit the sensitive auricle, while slightly longer needles sit more securely on body points with more tissue. Point location, skin condition and the planned wearing time also play a part in the choice.

Practitioners in Switzerland buy their acupuncture needles from saneq, where the AcuTop press needles sit alongside further TCM supplies for everyday practice.
