Introducing the Patent Pending Star Grind™, Industrial Strength’s most advanced body piercing needle to date. Engineered exclusively for professional piercers, the Star Grind™ features a refined bevel geometry that creates a flatter, sharper, and more continuous cutting edge for exceptionally smooth tissue penetration.
Unlike conventional A, B, and C bevel grinding methods, the Star Grind™ reduces the angle between the primary and secondary grinds. This proprietary geometry creates a more continuous cutting surface that helps reduce drag and resistance as the needle passes through tissue, providing greater control for the piercer and a smoother experience for the client.
Every Star Grind™ needle is finished with our exclusive Slickass™ heat-cured Pure PTFE coating, providing outstanding lubricity, durability, and smooth performance. The heat-cured PTFE coating is engineered to remain securely bonded through repeated steam autoclave sterilization while maintaining exceptional low-friction performance.
At the tip of every Star Grind™ is its distinctive reflective triangular facet—the signature of our proprietary grinding process. This unique geometry creates a continuous cutting surface designed to allow tissue to glide more smoothly along the bevel, reducing resistance during both penetration and exit.
The result is:
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 Star Grind™ needle is manufactured in our Connecticut facility using precision grinding, passivation, inspection, and quality-control processes developed through decades of manufacturing expertise.
Today, the Patent Pending Star Grind™ represents the next evolution in body piercing needle technology, combining innovative geometry with American manufacturing and precision craftsmanship.
What makes the Star Grind™ different from a traditional piercing needle?
The Star Grind™ features a proprietary bevel geometry that reduces the angle between the primary and secondary grinds, creating a flatter, more continuous cutting edge designed for smoother penetration and reduced resistance.
Why does the Star Grind™ have a triangular appearance at the tip?
The distinctive triangular appearance is the visual signature of the Patent Pending Star Grind™. Unlike conventional bevels, the Star Grind™ grinding process removes less material from the primary grind, leaving more of the original needle geometry intact. This creates the recognizable triangular profile while producing a flatter, more continuous cutting edge designed to reduce drag and provide smoother penetration.
Why is the PTFE coating heat cured?
Our Slickass™ Pure PTFE coating is applied using a high-temperature, heat-cured process designed to provide exceptional adhesion, lubricity, and durability through repeated steam autoclave sterilization.
Where are Star Grind™ needles manufactured?
Every Star Grind™ needle is proudly manufactured in the USA by Industrial Strength LLC using premium 304 ASTM surgical stainless steel.
