  • SEIRIN Pyonex permanent needles for ear and body, 100 pcs. box (A.220.0010.K)

    SEIRIN SEIRIN Pyonex permanent needles for ear and body, 100 pcs. box (A.220.0010.K)

    The New Pyonex Permanent Needle from SEIRIN® is available in four different, color-coded lengths and is ideal for treating both body and ear acupoints. The NEW PYONEX needle is embedded in a colored plastic backing that does not resemble medical packaging. The breathable patch is applied to the skin and ensures precise, secure, and long-lasting fixation (at least 48 hours), even while washing or showering. The 0.15 mm-thin needle is concealed within the adhesive surface and is barely noticeable to the patient. The continuous-action needle is activated by applying finger pressure to the clearly discernible pressure point integrated into the top of the adhesive patch. This actively involves patients in the therapy and enhances the therapeutic effect. Another advantage is that parents can gently continue treating their children at home if necessary. NEW PYONEX needles can be used on the body and, depending on anatomical conditions, also on ear points. Since particularly short sizes (0.30–1.5 mm) are available, NEW PYONEX continuous-action needles are preferred for use with children, pain-sensitive patients, and those with a fear of needles. The breathable adhesive patch allows for precise and long-lasting fixation after the PYONEX needle has been gently applied. The permanent needle is stimulated by applying finger pressure to the clearly discernible pressure point integrated into the patch. Video "How to Use New Pyonex Needles" — click here:  Since they are available in particularly small sizes, New PYONEX permanent needles are especially popular for use with children and patients who are sensitive to pain. To be used only by qualified personnel. Medical devices may be installed, operated, used, and maintained only by personswho have the necessary training or knowledge and experience.

SEIRIN Acupuncture Needles: Disposable needles from Japan

In a nutshell: SEIRIN is a Japanese manufacturer of sterile, disposable acupuncture needles based in Shimizu (Shizuoka). According to the company, SEIRIN developed the world’s first disposable acupuncture needle in the late 1970s. According to the manufacturer, the needles are manufactured entirely in Japan and are now used in over 30 countries. CT&T Medical has been distributing SEIRIN products in Switzerland for many years and advises healthcare professionals on needle selection.

The History of SEIRIN
Until the 1970s, acupuncture needles were sterilized and reused in many clinics. Company founder Tsuyoshi Suzuki, whose company had previously manufactured plastic parts and disposable medical cannulas, wanted to change that. In 1980, the first SEIRIN disposable needle was launched on the market, already featuring color-coding to indicate diameter. Today, according to the company, SEIRIN is the market leader in acupuncture needles in Japan.

What Sets SEIRIN Needles Apart


Tip and Needle Body
SEIRIN has the stainless steel wire manufactured to its own specifications and straightens it before processing. The tip is ground so that even a needle with a diameter of 0.10 mm has a uniform, smooth shape. In 2012, the rounded “SP” tip (SEIRIN Point) was introduced; according to SEIRIN, it is now the most popular tip shape.


Handle and Guide Tube
The needle body is anchored in the center of the handle during injection molding. The injection-molded guide tube has rounded edges and is welded to the handle at a single point with a diameter of about 1 mm. It can be removed with one hand but cannot be reattached. This makes it immediately apparent whether a needle has already been used.

Hygiene and Sterility
Production is largely automated, taking place in rooms with controlled air pressure and with as few staff members as possible. As a result, the needles carry virtually no germs even before sterilization. SEIRIN specifies a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶ and validates the sterilization process. The products meet the requirements of the EU Medical Device Regulation (CE) as well as those of other markets, including the U.S. and Australia.
