An Acupuncture Needle Manufacturer Bridging Traditional Craft and Modern Manufacturing
Zhenjiang Gaoguan Medical Appliances Co., Ltd is an acupuncture needle manufacturer based in Zhenjiang, China — a region with a long history of acupuncture needle craft — with 20 years of modern single-use medical device manufacturing experience, ISO 13485 certification, and CE marked products exported to 30+ countries. We produce loose acupuncture needles, catgut embedding needles, thread embedding kits, and related TCM consumables under OEM and private label terms.
The acupuncture market has consolidated around single-use sterile needles (the evolution from reusable to single-use), and buyers now evaluate needles the way they evaluate any medical device: material grade, dimensional consistency, packaging integrity, and documentation. That is our home ground.
Needle Customization Dimensions
| Dimension | Options | OEM Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Needle material | SUS 304 stainless steel tubing per ISO 9626, options per Spécifications des matériaux des aiguilles d'acupuncture | Material grade affects flexibility and needle feel |

| Handle type | Wound-wire handle, looped or coiled winding | Handle winding affects grip and needle control |
| Handle color | Color-coded handles; custom colors per mold | Common for gauge identification at a glance |
| Tip | Blunt closed tip (ground geometry) | Sharpness consistency is a batch-controlled characteristic |
| Guide tube | With or without guide tube | Standard for insertion technique in many markets |
| Conditionnement | Individual sterile blister/peel pack; bulk packs; private-label boxes | Individual sterilization packaging is the market default |
| Stérilisation | EO or gamma sterilization per product validation | Batch sterilization records provided |
Private Label Packaging Options
Acupuncture is one of the most brand-sensitive consumables categories — practitioners buy the box they trust. Our private label program covers:
- Box design: your artwork on printed cartons, with your brand color system 1–4 spot colors, offset or flexo

Quality Controls Specific to Acupuncture Needles
Acupuncture needles fail commercially in subtle ways: a tip that drags, a handle that loosens, a blister that opens in transit. Our controls map to those failures — incoming wire material certification, tip grinding inspection, handle winding pull tests per applicable ISO standards (ISO 7864, ISO 9626); batch-level pull-force and dimensional sampling, blister seal strength checks per ISO 11607 packaging validation, and EO residual testing on release. Batch documentation accompanies every shipment.
