Derminator® 2 digital dermaneedling cartridge (9-needles). Needle diameter 0.15 mm. (38 SWG, 34½ AWG). Ethylene Oxide sterilized. The needles are made of surgical steel and do not contain nickel.
This is the only cartridge that works properly with the Derminator® 2, and this cartridge does not work with the Original Derminator (sold before March 2018). If you're looking for the older model's cartridges, please contact our support.
The 9-needle cartridge treats the skin 33% slower than the 12-needle cartridge, but hurts the least.
This is the cartridge you need when needling the scalp because hair is made of Keratin, the same hard material finger nails are made of. Less needles means less hair entanglement and less force required to penetrate strands of hair that's in the way.
Bajonet fitting. Align the slots in the cartridge with the protrusions on the tip of the hand unit, push the cartridge on and while pushing, rotate the cartridge right a quarter turn until you start to feel resistance, then stop turning at the point of maximum resistance.
Cartridge lifetime depends on needling frequency, treatment duration, number of treatments and skin thickness. When treatment starts to be more painful or the machine starts to have trouble reaching the set depth, the needles have become blunt and it is time to replace the cartridge.
Cartridges should ideally NOT be reused but can be reused on only the SAME patient after disinfection with Isopropanol or Chloramine-T according to our instructions. Do not use Dettol - it contains Chloroxylenol, which can dislodge the needles.
