Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture instruments, and in particular to a component that does not directly contact an awn needle when the needle is inserted. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the existing technology, the awn needle is a long needle used in traditional Chinese acupuncture, generally 3 to 6 inches long, made of thin and elastic stainless steel wire, and is called an awn needle because of its slender shape like a wheat awn. Since the needle body is slender and soft, the needle body often bends without external auxiliary support. Therefore, when inserting the needle, auxiliary support is usually required to control the direction of the needle insertion and increase the accuracy of the needle insertion.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used auxiliary support method is to put a plastic tube on the needle. Its main function is to protect the needle tip and needle body, avoid damage to the needle body and needle tip, and prevent the doctor's fingers from touching the needle body (because the needle is a long needle, and long needles are easy to bend when inserted into the human body, so generally doctors need to hold the needle body to assist in acupuncture). When using it, the doctor holds the plastic tube with one hand and twists the needle handle with the other hand to avoid touching the needle body with the hand.

[0004] However, this cannula method has disadvantages. In order to effectively fix the needle and the plastic tube, the plastic tube is usually made the same length as the needle. In this way, when the needle body is just inserted into the human body, the needle handle is immersed in the cannula. At this time, if the doctor wants to continue to insert the needle, he can only pull out the cannula. If the plastic tube is too short, it will be inconvenient for the doctor to remove the needle. Even if the cannula is pulled out, the exposed needle body is still long, and the needle body is still very easy to bend naturally, affecting the implementation and effect of the needle. It is often necessary to use the hand to support the needle body to assist in the implementation of the needle. However, direct contact with the needle body by hand or with auxiliary pads such as gauze and cotton balls cannot meet the technical specifications of clean needle operation, and there are still certain hidden dangers in hygiene and safety, which affects the effect of needle application. In addition, if the length of the cannula is shortened, the needle body cannot be completely packed, and the silicone oil on the needle body is easily scraped off during transportation, affecting its use.

[0005] Chinese patent 201020509127.3 discloses an awn needle, which consists of four parts: a needle tip, a needle body, a wing-shaped needle root, and a "Z"-shaped needle handle. The needle body is configured to be slender and cylindrical, and is made of tungsten steel; the needle tip is configured to be blunt and round, pointed but not sharp, to avoid puncturing blood vessels; the "Z"-shaped needle handle is configured to be in a "Z" shape, with the front end of the needle handle perpendicular to the wing-shaped needle root; the wing-shaped needle root is configured to be a flat plate of 0.5×1.5 cm in size, and the needle handle is horizontal to the skin when the needle is left in place.

[0006] The above-disclosed problem is that the handle and the needle body of the traditional awn needle are in a straight line, making it difficult to perform the lifting and inserting technique when performing the subcutaneous horizontal puncture method. However, after the needle body pierces the human skin, the needle handle may bend during the initial lifting and inserting technique, and the needle body may be operated by hand, causing contamination of the needle body and scraping off the silicone oil on the needle body.

[0007] Therefore, how to provide a matching auxiliary needle assembly that enables the sleeve to always support the needle body, does not require other auxiliary needle insertion, is hygienic and convenient, and can continuously guide the needle insertion is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

The sleeve 2 has at least two sections of sleeve connecting tubes 211. A sleeve joint 212 is provided between the sleeve connecting tubes 6. The diameter range of the sleeve joint 212 is 3.5-5.1 mm. The cross-section of the sleeve 2 is circular. Two adjacent sleeve connecting tubes 211 are connected by the sleeve joint 212.

[0038] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the sleeve joint 212 is composed of a sleeve connection section 2121, a limiting fixing section 2122 and an anti-slip section 2123. The sleeve connection section 2121 and the limiting fixing section 2122 are an integrally formed structure. A limiting step block 2124 is provided on the limiting fixing section 2122. The limiting fixing section 2122 is configured as a conical structure. A chamfered structure is provided inside the sleeve connection section 2121 tube. The anti-slip section 2123 is arranged on the periphery of the limiting fixing section 2122. The anti-slip section 2123 is configured as a threaded semicircular system. The awn needle body 1 is fixed in the sleeve 2 by a tightening plug 3. The needle tip 112 is directly attached to the human body and cooperates with the sleeve 2 to assist the needle body 111 to complete the needle insertion work.

[0039] The front end diameter of the sleeve section 2121 and the position-limiting fixed section 2122 is 4-4.9 mm, and the rear end diameter of the sleeve section 2121 and the position-limiting fixed section 2122 is 2.8-3.6 mm. The sleeve section 2121 and the position-limiting fixed section 2122 are configured to be wide outside and narrow inside in a slope shape. The position-limiting step block 2124 is configured to have a length of 1.5-2.5 mm.

[0040] The sleeve 2 is made of polypropylene or polyvinyl fluoride and other transparent materials. The length of the anti-slip section 2123 covering the sleeve joint 212 is 18-23 mm, and the sleeve connection pipe 211 is configured as an upper half sleeve connection pipe 2111 and a lower half sleeve connection pipe 2112.

[0041] The present invention also provides a method for applying an awn needle assembly, comprising the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: The sleeve 2 is sleeved outside the awn needle body 1 and fixed inside the sleeve 2 through the tightening plug 3, and the sleeve connecting pipe 211 is respectively installed to the two ends of the sleeve joint 212, and the sleeve 2 is in a complete plastic tube state;

[0043] Step 2: Hold the joint of the awn needle body 1 and the sleeve 2, align the needle tip 112 with the needle, remove the tightening plug 3, tap the needle body 111 to insert the needle, remove the lower half sleeve connecting tube 2112 in turn, connect the upper half sleeve connecting tube 2111 with the sleeve joint 212, assist the needle body 111 to be supported by the sleeve 2, keep in contact with the needle body 111 to perform the needle insertion operation, and twist the needle handle to insert the needle;

[0044] Step 3: After the needle body 1 is mostly inserted, the upper half of the sleeve connecting tube 2111 is removed, and the needle insertion work is completed by the sleeve 2 assisting the needle body 111.

[0045] The spike needle includes a needle body, one end of which gradually contracts to form a needle tip. When in use, the needle tip is used to pierce the epidermis and insert into the acupuncture point for acupuncture treatment. The other end of the needle body is spirally wrapped with metal wire to form a needle handle, and the acupuncturist holds the needle handle to perform acupuncture.

[0046] The sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the awn needle body 1 and fixed in the sleeve by a tightening plug. When inserting the needle, when using this device for acupuncture, first locate the acupuncture point, find the needle insertion position, hold the joint of the awn needle body 1 and the sleeve 2, aim the needle tip at the acupuncture point, remove the tightening plug 3, tap the needle handle to insert the needle, and then remove the lower half of the sleeve connection tube 2112 at the uppermost end of the sleeve 2 in turn, so that the acupuncturist can always touch the needle handle to facilitate the needle insertion operation until the needle insertion is completed. During this process, it is ensured that the acupuncturist can always touch the needle handle, and the needle body exposed outside the patient's skin is always supported by the sleeve and will not bend, so that the needle insertion can be smoothly implemented and the acupuncture effect will not be affected.

[0047] The sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outside of the awn needle 1, and its length is slightly shorter than the awn needle. When acupuncture is performed, the needle handle is exposed outside the sleeve. The sleeve 2 is formed by at least two pipe sections (the figure shows the case of two pipe sections), and the pipe sections are connected together by connecting pipes. Each pipe section can be flexibly installed or removed. The segmented arrangement can remove each section of the pipe in steps according to the different degrees of needle insertion during the needle insertion process, which protects the awn needle and facilitates the smooth operation of the acupuncturist. The device is also equipped with a tightening plug 3. The tightening plug 3 is placed in the sleeve at one end of the needle handle when the awn needle is not placed in the sleeve for packaging and placement. It is used to fix the awn needle body 1 to prevent the awn needle body from slipping and causing unnecessary damage.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the sleeve 2 is outside the thorn body 1, and the sleeve 2 is composed of at least two separable tube segments. The tightening plug is removed, and the sleeve is composed of at least two separable tube segments. Preferably, each adjacent two tube segments 201 are connected by a point-break method, which can conveniently separate the tube segments. Since the sleeve adopts a multi-segment point-break combination connection, the overall length of the sleeve can be changed according to the actual needle insertion situation during the needle insertion process, and other implementations and structures are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention disclose preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. A person skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. However, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
