The System 75™ was designed as an easy-to-use,
disposable cartridge ear piercing system that meets
the demands of the professional ear piercing
technician.
The System 75™ offers the technician many
advantages over any other piercing instrument
available, including:
5.
SYSTEM 75™ FEATURES
The instrument is contoured to fit comfortably
in the hand, providing a sure and balanced
grip when piercing.
The piercing stud and clasp are mounted in
a plastic cartridge, which is then individually
blister-packed and sterilized. The cartridge
can be installed in the handle and removed
after piercing without touching the cartridge
or studs. This maintains the sterility of the
piercing environment for the safety of both
the client and the technician.
Each stud and clasp set is individually
packaged in its own sterile blister. Using
one stud for a single ear piercing does not
affect the sterility of the second stud.
The stud cartridge is designed to install the
clasp automatically with the optimum
spacing, providing proper clearance on both
the front and the back of the ear. This
spacing is beneficial to the cleaning and
healing of the ear.
The unique design of the stud post ensures
that the clasp adjusts properly, so the
technician does not have to manually adjust
the position of the clasp after piercing.

First, familiarize yourself with the System 75™ piercing
instrument and the packaged studs. It is very important
that you present yourself as a confident, expert piercing
technician to the customer. The more comfortable you
are, the more at easy your customer will be. This will
help the customer relax and relieve any anxiety they
might be experiencing.
Preparing Yourself
Wash both hands and put latex gloves on both hands
BEFORE proceeding with ear piercing.
Check customer’s ear for cysts. Cysts are embedded
skin tissue surrounding foreign debris. When you
pinch the earlobe and feel small, hard lump that can
be moved, it is probably cyst. If you see and feel
a small lump that does not move, it is most likely
scar tissue. Cysts are not visible and can be moved,
whereas scar tissue is visible and does not move.
You may pierce through scar tissue, but never
through as it may rupture, releasing debris into the
surrounding tissue which can cause an infection.

Marking the Ears
The customer should remove any earrings they are
wearing.
Ask the customer where they would like the new stud(s).
Cleanse the customer’s ears with Studex Sterile Prep. If
not is available, alcohol may be used.
Mark the ears accordingly
with the nontoxic Marking
Pen (Fig. 1.).
Have the customer check
and approve the marks
BEFORE proceeding with
the piercing. The customer
should not touch the ear
after cleansing.

If you are piercing in the cartilage area of the ear
(see Fig. 2.), special care must be taken during
both the piercing and the after-piercing care.

A Note About Cartilage Piercing
Cartilage Area
Special care must be
taken when piercing
though this cartilage
(dark area at right)
Do not pierce through
the curled (edge) of
the ear.
When piercing the cartilage around the edge of the
ear, with customers who have very thick or heavily
curled cartilage, you just pull the cartilage slightly to
“unroll” it. This is to ensure that the piercing
instrument can be properly positioned.
Whenever piercing through any cartilage area of the
ear, you must take care to ensure the instrument is
held perpendicular to the surface of the ear.
Alert your client that the healing of the cartilage area
will take somewhat longer than the lobe area.

Loading the Cartridge
For safety’s sake, wash both hands thoroughly,
and put latex gloves on both hands before opening
the sterile blisters or touching the customer’s ear.
Make sure the instrument is cleaned before
and after each use.
Remove the twin blister from the package and
separate the twin blister by tearing along the
perforation between the two cartridges. For
your convenience, Sterile Prep Pads are
packaged with the studs for cleaning the
customer’s ears.
Peel off the paper backing from one blister,
exposing the piercing cartridge. DO NOT
REMOVE THE CARTRIDGE FROM THE
BLISTER!
Holding the sides of the plastic blister firmly
with the opening on the bottom, slide the clasp
end of the cartridge down and forward into the
channel in the instrument until it is seated fully
forward (Figure 3A.)
Rotate the back of the cartridge down into the
channel until is firmly seated as shown in
Figure 3B.
Lift off the plastic blister (Fig. 3C.). Do not
discard the plastic blister, as you will need it
later.
You are ready to pierce (Figure 3D.).

Do not touch cartridge at any time!
Always use the blister as a holder when installing,
removing or transporting the cartridge. In this way,
sterility of the piercing studs and clasps is
maintained, and accidental contact with the
customer’s body fluids is avoided.
