Acupuncture needles were traditionally handcrafted to perfection, demand meant a mass production method had to be devised. In February 1972 AcuMedic first imported into UK silver and gold handled, stainless steel filiform needles in both coil and spiral format. These needles were reused many times using the sterilising process of either an autoclave or glass bead.
