Made of 410 ASTM Implant Grade Stainless Steel so they can be autoclaved and reused.
Insertion Tapers are 2" in length and tapers down to about 2 gauges smaller then listed size. So a 0g Taper at its thinnest point is around 4g.
Calor Style Tapers are a little bit thicker and recessed so you can fit the jewelry inside the taper. This helps prevent slipping while stretching.
