Metal tube handle
The Japanese acupuncture needle for precise guidance and versatile application
Acupuncture needles with a rigid metal tube handle are considered a classic alternative to the traditional needle with a coiled copper handle. The handle consists of a fine metal tube that is mechanically attached to the needle shaft. This creates a smooth, stable handle surface that supports steady guidance and controlled handling.
The metal tube handle is suitable for practitioners who prefer a clear, direct tactile feel and are looking for a needle variant that remains open to various therapeutic techniques. Due to the conductive properties of the metal, this handle can also be used for electroacupuncture.
In addition, the smooth handle is well-suited for moxibustion, as corresponding moxa products can be easily slid onto it. This needle type thus combines technical clarity with traditional application experience.
