TeWa Acupuncture Needles: Proven in clinical practice, developed by acupuncturists
TeWa (TEWA, Tewa) is part of the German needle manufacturer asiamed (asia-med GmbH, Pullach), which was founded by doctors in 1989 to offer all types of high-quality needles needed for acupuncture. According to the manufacturer, the product line from the asiamed and TeWa brands includes over 30 types of needles in more than 300 variants. Quality control is conducted in Germany.

What Sets TeWa Needles Apart
- Smooth surface: The needles are polished or electropolished, which promotes uniform penetration.
- Silicone-coated or uncoated: The coated version has a wafer-thin layer of medical-grade silicone covering the entire length of the needle. The uncoated version is suitable, for example, for direct moxibustion or for people with a silicone allergy.
- Traditional copper spiral handle: It fits comfortably in the hand and is considered suitable for electrical stimulation.
- With or without a guide tube: The guide tube makes insertion easier and keeps the process hygienic.
- SpeedPak: 5 needles per blister pack for practices that use many needles per treatment.
- Sterile and individually packaged: Each needle is intended for single-use only.
