Medical Ear Piercing at Rutherford Pediatrics

How is the CorenPS Earpiercer different from a gun?

A piercing gun is spring-loaded, loud and less sterile than the hand-pressured, fully disposable instrument, as it requires cleaning between uses, leaving room for human error. The CorenPS Earpiercer is human-powered, incredibly precise and completely sterile, piercing in one smooth, quiet motion without the necessary noise or risk of a piercing gun.

​

Can the CorenPS Earpiercer be used for body piercing?

No. The CorenPS Earpiercer was designed to pierce the earlobe and outer cartilege of the ear and should never be used on any other parts of the body.

​

How long must I keep the piercer earrings in my child's ears?

The original earrings used to pierce your child's ears must stay in for at least 6 weeks. This minimizes the chance of infection, and decreases the chance of the holes closing.

 

 

 

How much does the medical ear piercing cost?

The cost of the medical ear piercings at our office is $150. This amount is due at the time at the visit via cash or credit card.
