[0002] Ear piercing is a common cosmetic procedure that aims to create a channel in the earlobe to wear earrings and other jewelry. Existing methods for ear piercing mainly include using an earring gun, laser piercing, and surgical cutting. However, these methods either involve significant trauma and pain, or have high equipment costs and complex procedures, making them difficult to popularize among consumers. Therefore, seeking a simple, safe, and effective method for ear piercing and its related instruments is of great practical value. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems of significant trauma and pain associated with using earring guns, laser piercing, and surgical cutting in the aforementioned background techniques, this invention provides a method and instrument for ear piercing.

[0004] The ear piercing method and instrument provided by this invention adopt the following technical solution:

[0005] An ear piercing instrument, comprising an oval forceps and an indwelling needle;

[0006] The oval forceps are crossed in an "X" shape, and the middle of the oval forceps can rotate. One end of the oval forceps has a symmetrically fixed handle, and the other end of the oval forceps has symmetrically opened round holes.

[0007] The indwelling needle is cone-shaped and includes a needle body and a needle tip, which are integrally fixed.

[0008] One method for ear piercing includes the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Cleaning and disinfection;

[0010] Step 2: Mark the location;

[0011] Step 3: Local anesthesia;

[0012] Step 4: Earlobe piercing;

[0013] Step 5: Disinfection and care.

[0014] Preferably, in step one, the cleaning and disinfection is performed by using a cotton ball soaked in disinfectant alcohol to clean and disinfect the earlobe, ensuring that the surgical area is sterile.

[0015] Preferably, in step two, the marking location is achieved by applying iodine solution to the earlobe with a cotton swab. Iodine solution is a disinfectant containing iodine and is dark brown in color. Applying iodine solution to the earlobe with a cotton swab will leave a mark.

[0016] Preferably, in step three, local anesthesia is achieved by injecting an anesthetic drug into the earlobe using a syringe. The anesthetic drug is lidocaine hydrochloride injection, and the dosage is one milliliter.

[0017] Preferably, in step four, the earlobe piercing is performed by clamping the earlobe with the front end of an oval forceps, aligning the center of the circular hole made at the front end of the oval forceps with the iodine marking point, and then inserting an indwelling needle through the opening of the oval forceps. The indwelling needle is then quickly pierced through the earlobe to form an ear hole. During the piercing process, the hand should be kept steady and the speed should be fast to reduce pain and tissue damage.

[0018] Preferably, in step four, after the indwelling needle penetrates the earlobe, the indwelling needle is quickly pulled out, leaving an ear hole. When pulling out the indwelling needle, the needle body should be gently rotated to reduce friction on the ear hole.

[0019] Preferably, in step five, disinfection and care involves using a sterile cotton ball to disinfect the ear hole created by the indwelling needle puncture to prevent infection, applying an appropriate amount of anti-inflammatory ointment around the ear hole, keeping the ear dry for a week, rotating the earring daily to prevent the ear hole from closing, and then disinfecting with iodine solution after rotating the earring to promote wound healing.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] The oval forceps and indwelling needle of this invention for ear piercing are lower in cost, easier to operate, require multiple sterilizations, and provide better hygiene. At the same time, this invention has broad market prospects and application value. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the oval forceps structure of the present invention;

[0023] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the indwelling needle structure of the present invention.

[0024] Figure labels: 100, oval forceps; 200, indwelling needle. Detailed Implementation

[0025] Example 1, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —2. The present invention will be described in further detail.

[0026] This invention discloses a method and instrument for ear piercing.

[0027] An ear piercing instrument includes an oval forceps 100 and an indwelling needle 200;

[0028] The oval forceps 100 are crossed in an "X" shape. The middle part of the oval forceps 100 can be rotated. One end of the oval forceps 100 has a symmetrically fixed handle, and the other end of the oval forceps 100 has symmetrically opened round holes. The oval forceps are straight and toothless, and the length of the oval forceps is 25 centimeters.

[0029] The indwelling needle 200 is cone-shaped and includes a needle body and a needle tip, which are integrally fixed structures.

[0030] One method for ear piercing includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: Cleaning and disinfection;

[0032] Step 2: Mark the location;

[0033] Step 3: Local anesthesia;

[0034] Step 4: Earlobe piercing;

[0035] Step 5: Disinfection and care.

[0036] Furthermore, in step one, cleaning and disinfection involves using a cotton ball soaked in disinfectant alcohol to clean and disinfect the earlobe, ensuring the surgical area is sterile. During the cleaning and disinfection process, medical staff wear sterile gloves throughout. Sterile gloves effectively protect against bacterial infection during the ear piercing process, helping to reduce the risk of cross-infection between patients and operators. Gloves also prevent bacteria from the operator's hands from coming into contact with the ear or wound, reducing the possibility of introducing bacteria and thus minimizing the risk of infection. Wearing gloves further demonstrates the operator's emphasis on hygiene and conveys a professional image, which can increase clients' trust in the service quality and safety measures.

[0037] Furthermore, in step two, the marking location is achieved by applying iodine solution to the earlobe using a cotton swab. Iodine solution is a disinfectant containing iodine and is dark brown. Applying iodine solution to the earlobe leaves a mark. Marking with iodine solution can simultaneously disinfect the skin and reduce the risk of possible bacterial infection. Iodine solution is usually a distinct dark brown color, making the mark easy to identify. The iodine solution mark will gradually fade over time, meaning that even if you forget to wipe the mark off, it will not affect the appearance. In contrast, marker pens may require special cleaning agents to completely remove the mark. Using cotton swabs to mark with iodine solution can also reduce the number of items that come into direct contact with the skin, reducing the risk of cross-infection.

[0038] Furthermore, in step three, local anesthesia involves injecting anesthetic, specifically lidocaine hydrochloride injection, into the earlobe using a syringe. The dosage is one milliliter. Local anesthesia reduces patient tension and anxiety, helping them to get through the ear piercing process more easily. Anesthesia also reduces the risk of accidental injury due to patient movement or sudden reactions, ensuring the safety of the procedure. For professional ear piercing technicians or doctors, local anesthesia can enhance the professionalism of the procedure, ensuring accurate piercing location and precise operation. Local anesthesia can also reduce postoperative pain, promote faster wound healing, and reduce the risk of subsequent infection.

[0039] Furthermore, in step four, the earlobe piercing is performed by clamping the earlobe with the tip of the oval forceps 100. The center of the circular hole at the tip of the oval forceps 100 is aligned with the iodine marking point. The oval forceps 100 provides stable support, which helps to ensure accurate piercing position and avoids movement or shaking during the operation. The design of the oval forceps 100 makes it easier for the operator to fix the earlobe and complete the piercing process quickly and easily. Then, the indwelling needle 200 is passed through the opening of the oval forceps 100 and then quickly pierced through the earlobe to form an ear hole. During the piercing process, the hand should be steady and the speed should be fast to reduce pain and tissue damage.

[0040] Furthermore, in step four, after the indwelling needle 200 penetrates the earlobe, quickly pull out the indwelling needle 200, leaving the ear hole. When pulling out the indwelling needle 200, the needle body should be gently rotated to reduce friction on the ear hole. Rotating the needle body can make it move more smoothly in the tissue, reduce the pulling or squeezing caused by resistance, and reduce the discomfort when pulling it out.

[0041] Furthermore, in step five, disinfection and care involves using a sterile cotton ball to disinfect the ear hole created by the 200mm indwelling needle insertion to prevent infection. An appropriate amount of anti-inflammatory ointment is applied around the ear hole. The ear should not come into contact with water for a week, and the earring should be rotated daily to prevent the ear hole from closing. After rotating the earring, it is disinfected with iodine solution to promote wound healing.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
