For catheter piercers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a catheter piercing and what are its advantages for professionals?

Catheter piercing is a professional technique using a hollow needle with an integrated plastic sheath. Unlike blade needles which are solid and sharp, the catheter offers a two-component system: the metal needle that pierces the skin and the plastic sheath that remains in place after needle removal, facilitating jewelry insertion. This method has several major advantages for professionals:

1. Easy jewelry insertion: The plastic sheath keeps the channel open, allowing smooth and precise jewelry insertion without traumatizing the tissues.
2. Risk reduction: Minimizes the risk of tearing or excessive widening of the hole during jewelry insertion.
3. Ideal technique for beginners: The method is more accessible to piercers starting their career while still delivering excellent results.
4. Versatility of use: Suited to the majority of standard piercings, including ear piercings, nose piercings, and certain body piercings.

Our MOSQUITO\u00a9 catheters are particularly valued for their unique auto-detachable hub, the only one of its kind in the world, which further simplifies the procedure by eliminating additional manipulation during needle removal.

What are the different catheter sizes available and for which types of piercings?

Our catheter piercing range includes three main sizes, each color-coded for easy identification and adapted to specific uses:

1. Green Catheter (18G): Our best-seller, available in Box A. This intermediate size offers excellent versatility and suits the majority of standard piercings. Ideal for ear piercings (lobe, helix), nose piercings, and many classic body piercings.
2. Grey Catheter (16G): Available in Box C. Slightly larger than the green, this catheter is perfect for piercings requiring a larger diameter such as certain cartilage piercings, navel piercings, or body piercings. Its size accommodates larger jewelry while ensuring good stability.
3. Pink Catheter (20G): Our finest option, available in Box B. Specially designed for delicate piercings requiring great precision and minimal visual impact. Perfect for nose piercings, certain fine ear piercings, and locations where a less invasive approach is preferred.

Each catheter features MOSQUITO\u00a9 technology with an auto-detachable hub, guaranteeing a smooth and secure piercing experience regardless of the size chosen.

How does the MOSQUITO\u00a9 auto-detachable hub system work?

The auto-detachable hub system of our MOSQUITO\u00a9 catheters represents a major innovation in the catheter piercing industry, considerably simplifying the process for professionals:

1. Intelligent operation: MOSQUITO\u00a9 is the only brand in the world to offer this patented system where the hub detaches automatically when the needle is removed, without any additional manipulation by the piercer.
2. Simplified 3-step process: 
   • The catheter needle pierces the skin and passes through the tissues
   • The metal needle is removed while the plastic sheath remains in place
   • The hub falls off automatically, completely freeing the passage for jewelry insertion
3. Advantages for the professional: 
   • Significant time savings on each procedure
   • Reduced contamination risks related to multiple manipulations
   • Smoother and more precise movement
   • Better focus on jewelry placement
4. Enhanced safety: The system reduces the risk of blood exposure incidents by minimizing needle manipulation after piercing.

This ingenious system makes MOSQUITO\u00a9 catheters the benchmark for piercing professionals seeking efficiency, speed, and safety in their daily practice.
