Dull needles. Poor Clinician & Patient Experience. Cheap Quality.

I've used lancets, hollow bleeding needles (14gauge), and while the hollow needles were out of stock I thought I'd try out these 3-edge needles.

I learned through the experience one more reason to steer clear of Chinese needles. Korean, Japanese, Swiss have been great...just not Chinese.

Advantages: I'm glad I tried these out to have an experience with 3-edge needles. Now I know what they are.

Disadvantages: Everything is cheap about these. The plastic packaging that separates the needles is stiff and brittle.

The needles themselves are dull and "stick" more than I have been used to using hollow bleeding needles.

It is too bad. If 3-edge needles were available in a better quality it might be worth comparing with the other bleeding needles.

By comparison, I can recommend the Acurea bleeding needles. Major noticeable difference with better handling and sharper tip. Patients often don't notice being pricked with them.
