ASP Adhesive Plasters

Sedatelec was established in 1978 near Lyon, France. Right from the beginning, Sedatelec collaborated with Dr Paul Nogier to design, manufacture and market the material required to perform auricular acupuncture. Dr Paul Nogier, a neurophysiologist fascinated by acupuncture, homeopathy and psychology, demonstrated that certain points on the external ear corresponded to organs or systems and that their distribution corresponded to the image of an inverted fetus. This representation, now recognized world-wide, is the basis for the practice of Auriculotherapy.

More than 20 years ago, Sedatelec developed the ASP semi-permanent sterile needle for the ear. The ASP needle is composed of a small stainless steel, gold or titanium needle housed in a plastic injector. This injector allows the practitioner to grasp and easily and precisely implant the needle into the patient's ear. After placement, the needle can be protected by an adhesive plaster. The needle ensures a permanent action for as long as it remains in place. A black magnet housed in the injector can be turned around in front of the implanted needle.

Like all other models of Sedatelec needles, ASP needles are manufactured in a sterile room and sterilized by gamma irradiation. They are delivered sterile for single use.
