A cannula piercing needle (or a piercing catheter) is a piercing needle that’s sheathed in plastic tubing. After the piercing has been made in the skin, the plastic tubing remains and the piercing/jewelry is inserted into the hole.
Regarding this, what is a 20 gauge needle used for piercing?
20 Gauge– 20 G is about 0.8mm. This is the smallest type of hollow needle. It is used in Ear and Nose piercing. Some people prefer to be pierced with 20 G needle.
Accordingly, how do cannula piercing needles work? A cannula, or catheter, needle is encased in removable plastic tubing. The cannula makes the piercing hole like other piercing needles, but the plastic tubing remains in the piercing hole. After removing the needle from the tubing, the piercer uses sterile scissors to cut away the hub section of the tubing.
Additionally, where do you buy a piercing needle?
Buying piercing needles from online retailers is your best bet because this is what most piercing shops do. They order from wholesalers and purchase their supplies in bulk. One site in particular is BME (see resources). This site not only offers a variety of piercing supplies but sells piercing needles as well.
