Problems solved by technology

However, if acupuncture needles such as lifting, inserting or twisting are carried out further, acupuncture needles with smooth surfaces or only a few unidirectional grooves as mentioned above have limited ability to affect the surrounding tissues and cannot effectively stimulate acupoints
In addition, when ordinary acupuncture needles penetrate human tissues, the metal surface lacks affinity with the surrounding tissues, and the biocompatibility is not high, which also affects the curative effect of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Embodiment 1

[0019] In this embodiment, the surface structure of the porous acupuncture needles of the present invention obtained by treating the acupuncture needles with 10% hydrogen peroxide solution for 10 hours was observed by electron microscopy. The processed porous acupuncture needles were placed in an electron microscope (SEM, JEOLJSM-6500), with an accelerating voltage of 15kV, in a vacuum environment (9.63*10 -5 Pa), to observe. The result is as figure 2 shown. The micropores existing in the porous layer on the porous acupuncture needle of the present invention can reach the size of nanometer level after being processed.

Embodiment 2

[0021] In this embodiment, the porous acupuncture needle of the present invention is subjected to a decomposition test of Methylene Blue. Put the porous acupuncture needles obtained after 24 hours of ultraviolet light treatment and the acupuncture needles without any treatment into a 10ppm methylene blue solution (10ml), and after 30 minutes of reaction in a dark environment, the Ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (Agilent 8453UV-vision Spectrophotometer) was tested, and the transmittance (transmittance) of the methylene blue solution was recorded separately every two hours, and the experimental results were as follows image 3 shown.

[0022] Depend on image 3 It can be seen that the penetration rate of methylene blue solution of acupuncture needles treated with light is significantly better than that of untreated acupuncture needles. That is to say, compared with acupuncture needles without any treatment, the acupuncture needles after light treatment have photocatalyst effe...

Abstract

The invention discloses a porous acupuncture needle, which comprises a needle body part for piercing human epidermis to acupuncture and an operating part held by a user. The needle body part comprises a needle body, a porous layer and a charge layer, wherein the porous layer is arranged on the surface of the needle body and consists of a plurality of micropores, and the charge layer is covered on the surface of the porous layer. Therefore, when the porous acupuncture needle is used for acupuncturing, due to hydrophilicity produced by the charge layer, human tissues are easily attached to the needle body part; moreover, during twisting the needle, the surrounding tissues can be drawn through the porous layer so as to increase the stimulation on acupuncture points.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an acupuncture needle, in particular to a porous acupuncture needle. Background technique [0002] Acupuncture was invented as a treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine. This treatment method has a significant effect on chronic diseases and pain relief, so it is gradually being valued. When performing acupuncture, Chinese medicine practitioners often use a fine needle to prick different acupuncture points on the human body. The fine needle is generally called an acupuncture needle. Early acupuncture needles were meteorites, stone needles, bone needles, and bamboo needles, which gradually evolved into metal needles of various materials. Stainless steel needles made of stainless steel have considerable hardness, elasticity, toughness, rust resistance, and durability. Hot, cheap and other characteristics, widely used in the current acupuncture treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. [0003] The structure of a genera...
