Technical Parameters
1. General Description
The 0.16 mm × 15 mm Chinese acupuncture needle is among the thinnest gauges commonly available, designed specifically for painless acupuncture and sensitive patients. Its superfine 0.16 mm shaft minimizes tissue resistance, ensuring extremely gentle insertion. The 15 mm length provides versatility for subcutaneous needling, facial acupuncture, and shallow body points while still allowing adequate reach.
Constructed from high-quality surgical stainless steel and equipped with a secure plastic handle, these needles deliver both comfort and precision, making them highly suitable for cosmetic acupuncture, pediatric use, and modern wellness therapies. Each needle is sterile, single-use, and individually blister-packed to maintain maximum safety standards.

FAQs
1. What makes these "Chinese acupuncture needles"?
Chinese acupuncture needles typically feature a slightly thicker gauge and a traditional pine-needle-shaped tip compared to Japanese-style needles. They are designed for traditional manipulation techniques like lifting, thrusting, and twirling to achieve “De Qi” (the arrival of Qi).
2. What material is the needle shaft made from?
The shafts of our Chinese acupuncture needles are made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. This provides the perfect balance of flexibility and tensile strength, ensuring the needle bends rather than breaks under tension.
3. Are the needle shafts coated with silicone?
Many of our disposable acupuncture needles feature a micro-layer of medical-grade silicone coating. This significantly reduces friction during insertion, resulting in a much more comfortable, virtually painless experience for the patient.
4. Can these needles cause allergic reactions in patients?
Because they are made from high-quality surgical stainless steel, the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low. They are hypoallergenic and safe for the vast majority of patients.
