Seirin And The Various Types Of Seirin Needles

The seirin brand stands for GMP: Good Manufacturing Practice. Seirin is the leading worldwide producer of acupuncture needles. The corporation was founded in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka city Japan in 1978 by Tsuyoshi Suzuki. This company was founded at the onset on the need for sterile disposable needles in the field of acupuncture. Thus under the philosophy of “Contributing to the Actualization of Safe and Effective Acupuncture Medicine” Seirin produced the worlds first sterile disposable needles. With the push by governments and the health organizations for hygienic preservation after the HIV pandemic, seirin was well received by oversea markets such as Germany and US.

Each acupuncture practice goes with a specific needle type; this depends on the type of condition being treated and also the choice of the patient. Seirin therefore produces various needle types they include and not limited to, type L, type B, type J type M and several others. All this needles have distinct characteristics, the J type has a handle made of plastic and its guide tube is joined with ultra sound that prevents unnecessary pain to the patient. The L type needle has a handle made of stainless steel that enables it to be used with moxa during acupuncture. The B type on the other end is not similar to others as it does not have an insertion tube. All these products enhance the superiority of Seirin and its products.
