1. The Studex instrument has a built-in mechanism to easily release the stud adapter from the plunger. In addition, a set of color-coded Adapter Clips that ease installation and removal of adapters are included with the kit. See loading Instructions for details.

2. The handle of the Studex instrument is contoured giving a comfortable, balanced grip for maximum control. The instrument is designed to allow the technician to maintain better alignment with the ear for more accurate piercing.

3. In the cocked position, the pointed tip of the piercing studs sits closer to the ear than with other Instruments. This allows the technician to more precisally position the stud for a more accurate piercing.

4. Adapters are color-coded to differentiate between sizes.

5. The backing nuts (clasps) are located on the plastic mount under each piercing stud for easier insertion into the clasp retainer.
