ASPAuricular Permanent NeedlesTitanium, 80 pieces

The ASP ear press needles are semi-permanent needles for auricular acupuncture, developed by Sedatelec in France in collaboration with Dr Paul Nogier. For over 40 years, practitioners, hospitals and pain clinics worldwide have relied on the ASP Original. It is among the most widely used methods for stimulating auricular acupuncture points over an extended period.

The semi-permanent needles are aimed at therapists working in ear acupuncture and auriculotherapy, in practices as well as in clinics. Each needle sits in a plastic injector that allows simple, precise placement on the ear without interrupting sterility.

• Semi-permanent press needles according to Dr Paul Nogier, made in France
• Individually housed in a plastic injector for hygienic, precise implantation
• The placed needle can be protected with an adhesive plaster
• Needle materials: stainless steel Classic, gold and titanium
• Pack sizes suited to regular practice needs
• Proven in daily use in practices, hospitals and pain centres

The choice of material is part of the treatment concept. Stainless steel Classic is the standard for most applications; therapists reach for gold or titanium when their concept or their patients' skin sensitivity calls for it. Where press needles are used regularly in a practice or clinic, the larger pack works out more economical.

saneq supplies practices and clinics in Switzerland with ASP semi-permanent needles for auricular acupuncture and further acupuncture supplies for professional users.

Titanium contains no nickel and is considered particularly well tolerated; the titanium version of the ASP ear press needles is therefore the usual choice when patients react sensitively to other metals. Handling and insertion technique correspond to the other versions: each needle individually in the injector, precisely placeable on the ear. With 80 units, the pack is designed for targeted use with sensitive patients.
