What cartridges Are there all for PMU? What is the difference between the many PMU needles?
The PMU Optima cartridges have been developed by the large needle brand Kwadron. These PMU needles are universal, so they fit on every universal PMU machine. The cartridges are provided with a membrane and are approved for use in Europe.
Below we briefly lay the differences between the cartridges out.
The configuration indicates how the needles are placed in the module.
-
Round Liner (RL)
The needles are in a round shape. Designed for outline and contours. Extremely precise, sturdy and pointed needles. Perfect for creating details. The Round Liner is available from 1 needle, which we call the 1P Round Liner.
-
Round Shader (RS)
The needles are still placed around just like with the round liners but with more space between the needles. This ensures more pigment implementation in the skin.
-
Magnum (Mg)
By the Magnum The needles are in two rows. This makes them suitable for shaving large areas but also to make wide and clear contours.
-
Flat (FL)
The Flat looks like the magnum But only has one row of needles. The needle module leaves more transparent traces.
-
Slope (CF) / Curved
At the Sloped of Curved cartridges the needles have different lengths. The outer needles are shorter than the middle needles, causing the side (s) of the row of needles.
The taper
The taper of the needle is the way the tip of the needle runs. There are different tapers and with some needle module you can also make a choice between the tapers.
-
Long Taper (LT)
The needle has an outcome of 7mm which stands for slim needle that leaves a very accurate and clear lines.
-
Ultra Short Taper (UT)
Very short tape of 2mm, a short tape taper provides more unobtrusive and slightly waxy marking.
-
Point taper (PT)
Each needle is sharpened twice, making it an extra sharp point.
-
Textured (t)
The letter "t" behind the taper stands for 'textured'. That means that the needle is not a smooth needle but with texture on the needle. This ensures more pigment implementation in the skin.
Needle thickness
There are 6 different needle thicknesses (diameter of the needle) to choose from. Determine the needle module for your work.
-
18 - 0.18 mm
-
20 - 0.20 mm
-
25 - 0.25 mm
-
30 - 0.30 mm
-
35 - 0.35 mm
-
40 - 0.40 mm
Features
- The cartridges contain a membrane that prevents the liquids from declining in the module and stabilizes the needle for more accurate work.
- The tip of the needle module is specially designed for every needle so that the housing fits perfectly.
- The tip with texture provides a perfect, proportional pigment flow.
- With the sharp needles you prevent skin trauma and nicer healing. The needles are made of hypoallergenic surgical steel.
Round Liner
Round Shader
Magnum
Flat
Curved / Sloped
All the above characteristics display the code of the needle module on the label. For example, when there is 25/3 RSPT-T on the label, then it is a module with 3 needles that each are 0.25 mm, the 3 needles are in theRound Shader Formation, have a point taper with texture on the needle.
