Size and material
| Material | Titanium — 2 models. Contains no nickel, so it causes no reaction even in a fresh piercing. Lighter than steel — less load on the tissue. The material of first choice. |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 1.2 mm — 2 models. The thickness must match the one the piercing was made with. |
| Bar length | 10 mm — 2 models, 12 mm — 2 models, 6 mm — 2 models, 8 mm — 2 models. A longer bar is needed while the swelling lasts, a shorter one — for a healed piercing. |
| Thread | External — 2 models. |
