Acupuncture in Malta is a CPCM-regulated stand-alone health profession — not physician-only as in some neighbouring jurisdictions. Most needles are single-use, but reusable cupping sets and adjacent instruments need traceable sterilisation.
Acupuncture in Malta is recognised by the Council for the Professions Complementary to Medicine (CPCM) as a stand-alone regulated health profession — a contrast with Luxembourg, where acupuncture is reserved to physicians, and with Germany, which has the Heilpraktiker route. Maltese acupuncturists hold CPCM registration. Most needles are single-use and sterile. For reusable instruments — cupping sets, gua sha tools, moxibustion holders — standard medical sterilisation protocols apply as best practice. Where the practice is performed by a medical practitioner, the general medical duty under the Health Care Professions Act (Chapter 464) also applies.

Track reusable instrument sterilization
Log autoclave cycles for cupping sets, gua sha tools, and other reusable instruments. Single-use needles don't need tracking — but everything else does.
Complete traceability per session
Link sterilized instruments to specific autoclave cycles. Maintain a tamper-proof record alongside your patient files.
