For over 25 years, ASP ear needles have been used to enhance auriculotherapy treatments. These small, semi-permanent needles are shaped like a dart and are designed to stay in auricular points longer for greater stimulation. Each ASP has its own needle injector which consists of a guide to accurately position the needle, and a plunger for insertion. The injector for Stainless Steel and Gold also contains a magnet for added stimulation. These magnetic injectors may be given to the patient to further stimulate the point containing the ASP needle. Package also contains hypoallergenic adhesive plasters, which can be used over the needle for added protection. ASP needles are available in Stainless Steel, Gold, and Titanium, and in boxes of 80 and 200 needles.
