The Patent Pending Heel Bypass™ is Industrial Strength’s most advanced body piercing needle, combining our proprietary Patent Pending Star Grind™ with an innovative bend engineered to change how the needle travels through tissue.
Unlike conventional piercing needles, the Heel Bypass™ features a precisely engineered bend located between the heel and the base of the primary grind. This proprietary geometry aligns the top of the needle with the tube while allowing the heel to bypass tissue during penetration.
By helping the needle follow a straighter path through tissue, the Heel Bypass™ reduces the need for alignment adjustments during the piercing. Piercers can maintain their natural hand position and visual alignment throughout the procedure, resulting in greater control, exceptional consistency, and virtually eliminating needle drift.
The Heel Bypass™ also incorporates our Patent Pending Star Grind™, which removes less material during grinding than conventional bevel designs. By preserving more of the original needle geometry, the Star Grind™ creates a flatter, more continuous cutting edge that allows tissue to glide more smoothly over the bevel while reducing drag and resistance during penetration and exit.
Together, these two Patent Pending technologies create our most advanced non-coated body piercing needle.
Industrial Strength LLC has been manufacturing body piercing needles for over 31 years and is backed by a 79-year family legacy in hypodermic needle manufacturing. Every Heel Bypass™ needle is manufactured in our Connecticut facility using proprietary grinding methods, precision bending, passivation, inspection, and quality-control processes developed through decades of manufacturing expertise.
The Patent Pending Heel Bypass™ represents our continued commitment to advancing body piercing needle technology through innovative engineering, precision manufacturing, and American craftsmanship.
What is the Heel Bypass™?
The Patent Pending Heel Bypass™ is a proprietary body piercing needle that combines a precisely engineered bend with the Patent Pending Star Grind™. Together, these technologies are designed to create a straighter path through tissue while reducing drag, minimizing needle drift, and improving piercing consistency.
Why is the bend located between the heel and the primary grind?
The Patent Pending Heel Bypass™ bend is precisely positioned between the heel and the base of the primary grind to align the top of the needle with the tube while allowing the heel to bypass tissue during penetration. This unique geometry helps the needle follow a straighter path through tissue, reducing the need for alignment adjustments during the piercing. As a result, piercers can maintain their natural hand position and visual alignment, providing a more controlled, consistent, and predictable piercing experience.
Does the Heel Bypass™ include the Star Grind™?
Yes. Every Heel Bypass™ incorporates the Patent Pending Star Grind™, which removes less material than conventional bevel designs. This preserves more of the original needle geometry, creating a flatter, more continuous cutting edge designed for smoother penetration and reduced resistance.
What material are Heel Bypass™ needles made from?
Heel Bypass™ needles are manufactured from premium 304 ASTM surgical stainless steel.
Where are Heel Bypass™ needles manufactured?
Every Heel Bypass™ needle is proudly manufactured in the USA by Industrial Strength LLC.
