The appropriate needle device is crucial for obtaining the curative effect of fire needling therapy. The article introduces the material specification

clinical operation

indications

characteristics and advantages of the contemporary traditional fire needling devices（e.g. He’s fire needle and Shi ’s fire needle） and the contemporary new-type ones（e.g. fire needling with filiform needle and micro-needle）; and determines the innovations of modern fire needling. It is anticipated that the needle specifications

production process and operation standard of fire needling devices should be further unified so as to provide the references for the selection of fire needling devices in treatment based on clinical syndrome differentiation and expand the clinical application of fire needling therapy.
