🛑 Stop Throwing Unused Plastic Tubes in the Trash
30% of practitioners don’t use tubes when needling, so we’re taking a stand against forcing all bulk-needle users to deal with unused plastic guide tubes. Optional Acufast guide tubes are available a-la-carte, in recyclable pouches of 5 tubes. Acufast guide tubes are also compact and flexible, yet still provide rigidity for a variety of needling techniques. They’re made with 60% less plastic and come in a fully-recyclable pouch pack, so practitioners who prefer a guide tube can use them while also knowing they’re reducing their environmental footprint.
🛑 Stop Throwing Unused Plastic Tubes in the Trash
Acufast tubes are compact and flexible but still provide rigidity that allows for a variety of needling techniques. The reduced size means less plastic is used per tube, and separate packaging from the needles means less waste. Tubes are available in pouches of 5, separate from the needles to prevent un-used, wasted tubes ending up in the landfill.

Tubes Calculation
The most common question we receive from practitioners who use tubes is, “How do I know how many tubes I need to add to my order?”
A Simple Formula:
- Calculate the average number of same size needles used on one patient then divide this number by 1000.
- The resulting number should be the number of tubes you will need to purchase for each box.
- Next, further divide this number by 5 to determine the number of pouches.
- Do this calculation for each size needle that you use in your clinic.
An Example:
- In general, assume you use 20 same-sized needles for each patient (10 on the front and 10 on the back).
- (1000/20) = 50 tubes total per box of 1,000 needles
- Now take the number of tubes you need and divide by
- 50 tubes / 5 = 10 pouches
- Therefore, since each pouch of tubes contains 5 tubes I would need 10 pouches.
