EAR PIERCING INSTRUMENT IS STILL THE PHYSICIAN'S FIRST CHOICE
 
In 1962, Hastings Corporation introduced the COREN Ear Piercing System to the American medical profession. The original COREN Earpiercer was of the "gun" type and looked something like a paper punch. (Click image for larger view)
 
Non-sterile ear studs and clasps were supplied for loading into a re-useable gun after both were autoclaved in the doctor's office. Many of the original COREN instruments are still in use today, even though sterilizing after each use is time consuming and costly.
 
Thousands of the original COREN instruments were sold to physicians from 1962 to 1974. During this time numerous imitations came on the market, sold mainly to shopping mall ear piercing establishments where there are no facilities for proper sterilization. Then, as now, Hastings Corporation decided to concentrate their efforts on making the very best product for medical ear piercing and to remain distinct from the "jewelry" market.
 
In 1974, Hastings Corporation created COREN PS, the ONLY complete, self- contained, totally sterile, disposable ear piercing instrument. While continuously updated with state-of-the-art manufacturing materials and techniques, the basic, proven product has remained the same since its inception.
 
Now, with forty years experience and three generations of Hastings involved in the business, COREN PS is the doctor's first choice in ethical ear piercing.
