Title: How thick are the needles on your dermastamp?
Post by: Swan on July 10, 2012, 11:33:26 AM

Hi Sarah

I am excitedly awaiting the arrival of the owndoc dermastamp

Was curious what the thickness of the needles of the "owndoc dermastamp 0.5mm" is?

Is the thickness of the needles, also 0.25mm like your single needles, which I am also awaiting??

Warm Regards

Swan

It depends what you mean by "thickness".

The needles of all our miconedling instruments have a conic shape.  The tip of the needles is very much thinner that the base of the needles. They are a 0.25 mm thick at the base. The tip is much thinner. The gradualness of the tip of the needle is called "taper".

The single needles have an extra long taper, which mean they have a long and very thin tip.

Our dermastamps as far as I know have a long taper (not an extra long taper).  When I have time I will compare the two under the microscope.

Thank you so much Sarah.

Yes, I meant the width/thickness of the needles of the dermastamp, rather than the length of the needles (on dermastamp).
