Seirin Acupuncture Needles at PULSE TCM

In brief

PULSE uses Seirin acupuncture needles made in Japan for clinic sessions across Singapore. Fine stainless steel, sterile disposable packs, and Light Touch Insertion™ mean many patients feel only a brief pinch or dull pressure before settling into a quiet session. Physicians work with a lightweight, colour-coded grip that supports steady technique.

J-Type and Pyonex lines

Seirin needles are made in Japan from the brand’s stainless steel wire. Light Touch Insertion™ and rounded guide-tube ends are designed so insertion can start with less force. Many people feel a brief pinch or pressure, then settle into a quiet session.

Physicians work with a lightweight, colour-coded grip and sterile single-use packs (PVC-free guide tubes). Seirin’s automated production is why the brand is trusted in clinics worldwide; at PULSE it is the needle line we reach for in acupuncture care.

FAQs

Seirin needles, answered

Equipment facts for acupuncture at PULSE Singapore. Sensation still varies by person and point.

What are Seirin needles?

Seirin is a Japan-based maker of acupuncture needles. At PULSE we use their clinic lines, including J-Type body needles and Pyonex press needles, chosen for fine stainless steel, sterile single-use packaging, and Light Touch Insertion™.

Why does PULSE use Seirin needles?

For patient comfort and physician technique: gentler insertion design, rounded guide-tube ends, PVC-free packs, and a lightweight colour-coded grip across our Singapore clinics.

What is Light Touch Insertion™?

Seirin’s method for releasing the needle from its guide tube with a gentle press away from the tube attachment, so insertion can start with less force. Sensation still depends on the point, your tissue, and the physician’s plan.

What is the difference between J-Type and Pyonex?

J-Type is the classic body needle with a colour-coded plastic handle and individual guide tube. Pyonex is a short press needle on hypoallergenic, latex-free Micropore™ tape, inserted via a sheath so the tip and adhesive stay untouched until placement.

Are Seirin needles single-use?

Yes. Needles used at PULSE are sterile and disposable. Each arrives in its own pack; we do not reuse needles between patients.

Are Seirin needles used at every PULSE clinic?

Yes. Seirin is the acupuncture needle line used for clinic sessions across the PULSE Singapore network. Exact gauge and whether Pyonex is added still follow your physician’s plan.

Does acupuncture with Seirin needles hurt?

Needles are far finer than injection needles. Many people feel a brief pinch, tingling, or dull pressure, then settle into a quiet session. Tell your physician if anything feels sharper than expected so they can adjust.

Can I buy Seirin needles from this page?

No. This page explains clinic equipment, not a retail SKU. Book an acupuncture consult if you want care with these needles at PULSE.
