Instruments of the practice.
Every cup, device, and refill is selected to the same standard we teach inside the College. Ships from Michigan within the USA.
The ICCCH Standard.
The wellness community deserves more than a functional tool. A product should be as safe as it is effective.
Clear-walled, clinical-grade
Transparent polymer cups let the practitioner read tissue response without distortion, and clean to a clinical standard between sessions.
Consistent, controlled suction
Pump-compatible valve systems deliver repeatable vacuum across every cup size. That is the difference between a comfortable session and a bruise.
Hygiene before speed
Wet cupping breaks the skin. We teach and equip it accordingly: single-patient or fully sterilised cups, aseptic protocol, and professional-use guidance on every product.
