Ohutneulan

Ohutneulan is a Finnish noun meaning "the thin needle" and is formed from the adjectives ohut ("thin") and neula ("needle"). In ordinary usage the word serves as a descriptive term for needles with a small diameter. The genitive form ohutneulan is used to denote possession or association, for example in compound phrases referring to the thin needle’s features or context.

In sewing and textiles, ohutneula refers to needles designed for delicate fabrics and fine work. A thinner needle reduces fabric damage and the risk of skipped stitches. Sewing needles vary by gauge; higher gauge numbers denote thinner needles, while length and point shape are chosen to suit the material and stitch type.

In medical and cosmetic contexts, thin needles are important for injections, acupuncture, and microneedling. Acupuncture needles are particularly slender and flexible; microneedling devices employ fine needles to create microchannels in the skin, aiming to stimulate healing or facilitate topical treatments.

Manufacturing considerations include the materials and finishes used for ohutneula needles. They are typically produced from stainless steel or other alloys, and may be coated to reduce friction or improve sterility. Many needles are designed for single use and are sterilized prior to packaging to meet safety standards.

Because ohutneula is a generic descriptive term in Finnish, it appears primarily in product specifications, manuals, and medical literature as an attribute of a needle’s thinness rather than as a specific model or brand name.
