Dear colleagues,
Does anyone have a table or list with lengths and diameters of Sterex needles?

No but if you have been affected by the world wide shortage of Ballet Insulated needles, then I recommend looking into the Velona 1 piece insulated needles. I’ve been using them for a little over a year with very good success.
I have been looking for a good insulated probe since the demise of Laurier Instruments.
I’m a bit of a probe snob, and after the issue with the protec’s I wont use a 2 piece insulated needle, it’s a one piece or nothing.I’ve used the Velona for about the last year since ballet werent coming on sale, and I like them . The only issue I had seen is I find the f4 probes more prone to bending and had shyed away from smaller sizes, but having no ballet’s avaialable I finally gave them a try, and the f3 and smaller sizess are fine! I get them from a place in quebec called Aesthe Source , though they are made in spain I believe. Aesth source mostly ship tocanada, but if you give Julie at Aesthe Source a call I’m sure she will help you. If you would like David, give me an address and I’ll mail you down a box of 30 to try, I have f3 f4 and f5 in stock .
What was the issue with protec? New electrologist here still wading through the different brands and options, mostly use some protec probes right now, and sterex that we bought from TES (but honestly the sterex ones feel a little wonky and uncomfortable).
