1. General Description
The 0.20 mm × 7 mm acupuncture needle is an ultra-short, ultra-fine needle designed for extremely shallow insertions. Its compact length and narrow gauge make it ideal for auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture), intradermal acupuncture, and treatment of highly sensitive or superficial points.
The lightweight plastic handle provides firm control, even during micro-manipulations. Combined with its minimal insertion depth, this needle reduces tissue trauma while offering precise therapeutic stimulation. Each needle is pre-sterilized, individually blister-packed, and single-use, ensuring maximum safety and hygiene.
