SeirinAcupuncture Needle B-Type0.16 x 15 mm

The Seirin B-Type acupuncture needle is a sterile single-use stainless steel needle from the Japanese manufacturer Seirin. The B-Type series comes without a guide tube and is designed for practitioners who prefer free-hand needling with direct needle feedback. The lightweight plastic handle allows precise, controlled insertion. The siliconised needle surface ensures gentle, tissue-friendly penetration.

Seirin acupuncture needles are used in acupuncture and TCM practices, in naturopathy and in medical and physiotherapy practices offering acupuncture. The B-Type series is particularly suited to classic body acupuncture performed by experienced practitioners who work without a guide tube.

A simple rule of thumb helps with sizing: thin, short needles such as 0.16 × 15 mm for sensitive zones like the face or ear, medium diameters around 0.25 mm as the standard for body acupuncture, and stronger, longer needles for muscular regions and deeper points. Two or three sizes will already cover most applications.

Acupuncture practices, TCM therapists and medical professionals buy their Seirin acupuncture needles from saneq in Switzerland. Note: acupuncture requires appropriate training.
