Dry-needling needles are thin, sterile, metallic instruments designed for inserting into muscle tissue to relieve pain, improve mobility, or address musculoskeletal issues. Used primarily in physiotherapy, they target trigger points or tight areas without delivering medication or electrical stimulation, relying instead on mechanical manipulation for therapeutic effects.
These devices are single-use only and typically come pre-packaged in protective sheaths to maintain sterility. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as medical devices due to their invasive nature, requiring compliance with safety and performance standards before market entry.
