The red dot on the box of needles indicates that the needles have been sterilized via gamma ray sterilization. The sticker starts off being yellow, and once it has been exposed to the gamma sterilization rays at a certain level of radiation, the sticker turns from yellow to red. This allows us to see at a glance that the needles in the box are safe and ready to be shipped to your clinic.

This is a critical step in our quality assurance procedures.

30% des praticiens n'utilisent pas les tubes guides. Pour éviter que les tubes non utilisés ne finissent à la poubelle, Acufast les propose séparément des aiguilles. Commander les tubes séparément est une nouveauté pour beaucoup de praticiens et la question la plus fréquente que nous recevons est la suivante: "Combien de sachets de tubes dois-je ajouter à ma commande?"

In general, apply the following formula to see how many boxes of 100 tubes you need to order with your needles:

Formule de Calcul
Calculate the average number of same size needles used on one patient then divide this number by 1000. Since tubes are sold in pouches of 100, divide this number by 100 to determine the number of pouches needed.

Exemple
20 aiguilles/patient
1000 aiguilles/boîte

1000 / 20 = 50 tubes par boîte de 1000 aiguilles
50 tubes / 100 per box of tubes= .5 boxes of tubes for each box of 1,000 needles

Since Acufast doesn’t sell the tubes by the half box, a better way to think of this, would be 1 box for every 2,000 needles!
