As I mentioned earlier, I am “test-driving” a new needle from Japan. So far there are great results; although the needle takes a little getting used to. As you see in the photo these have a 90-degree bend to them. At first I thought this would be “impossible.” Now, I see the thinking behind this.
The needles are insulated and, of the sizes I have, they are perfectly sized. You can see the insulation (this is important). And, they totally hold up under the blend: the insulation does not go “bye bye” from the DC.
Now, I am looking for a couple more of us to test-drive these. It seems that Jossie and Barbara have been doing a lot with the Laurier. Sooooo, are you “game?” I can set this up for you if you are willing.
I have to say, that like everything the Japanese make, these needles are truly “exquisite.”
I’m looking forward to testing these needles. I have really curious to know why a 90 degree angle. The Japanese are experts in the science of ergonomics. There should be an important reason to create a probe with this inclination.
Does anyone recall the Sylvia Lewis method, she used a needle shaped like this, and for the life of me I can not remember the reason for it. It was around in the eighties I think,. and was British.
Yes. These probes were manufactured by CTI in the EU (Britain?). They were insulated and slanted. Some electrologists will bend their needles. This was already prebent! Click the Attachment IMG to see it.
No, actually CTI was a Dutch company and Romano Scavo was the guy behind these needles. Romano was the “last man standing” in Holland during my 15+ years of being very active in that country. He still makes units for other comapnies but has moved to Norway … new “love interest.” (I still have at least 2,000 CTI needles that Romano gave me.)
The “new” needles are actually made in Japan.
To paste your photo, take the LAST code (the IMF code?) from the photo and just put that in your post. If that is questionable let me know and I can walk you thru. Jossie walked me thru.
What do you like about these? From the photo, it looks like a 1-piece probe, bent 90 deg. How is it better than bending your own probe to any angle you want? How do you know that the insulation is good, and holds up well to blend?
