FAQ

Q: How is Roman Research's ear piercing system different?
A: Roman Research's Spring activated ear piercing instruments are loaded with pre-sterilized studs. After the location of the piercing is marked, the earring can be safely positioned on the ear lobe without fear of premature firing due to the positive trigger release on the ear piercing instrument. When the trigger is activated, the instrument uses spring tension to pierce the ear with a pre-laoded earring. The earring back is simultaneously placed on the earring. Many of our competitor's instruments do not have the trigger release.
