I heard the podcast with John Stan; thanks @michaelmax for bringing awareness about the environmental aspects
of needle production. Super interesting and important!
I wanted to buy 0.30 and 0.35mm Acufast needles, which from their website seem to be in production. But neither
of their US suppliers (Lhasa, Golden needle) carries the larger sizes (Lhasa has only 0.30 in the 50mm). I emailed
them my request. Perhaps it would be more meaningful if they hear from a number of us? @michaelmax could
you put in a good word for the Saam community and ask them to supply us with bigger needles?

Yes, John Stan is going some great stuff with his AcuFast system. I’ve been using it lately and the amount of waste
in my clinic has dropped dramatically. Plus you can leave the needles in the package overnight and they are still
clean. So much less waste that way as well.
I’ve mentioned that we have a loyal contingent of fat needle users. But I think if individual people go to the
www.acufastneedles.com website and send a message that you want big needles, that would get more attention.

Missed that podcast, but awesome to hear someone making positive change…I went to his website but the only
way I could find to send a message was to comment on a blog post.
