[0013] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0014] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a disposable auxiliary device for cupping after bloodletting to prevent cross infection, including a disposable isolation unit 1 made of fireproof plastic material and a disposable cup mouth holder 2 made of elastic material, wherein the disposable isolation unit 1 includes a fire cup neck isolation unit 3 and a fire cup internal isolation unit 4, one end of the fire cup neck isolation unit 3 is connected to one end of the fire cup internal isolation unit 4, and the other end is connected to the disposable cup mouth holder 2, and the other end of the fire cup internal isolation unit 4 is closed and completely fits the inner wall of the fire cup, so that the patient's blood after bloodletting is all in this device, and will not contaminate the fire cup, and the disposable cup mouth holder 2 and the fire cup neck isolation unit 3 are both ring structures with a central penetration. The entire cupping isolation device can be folded and put into an independent packaging bag, which is small in size, light in weight, and easy to store.

[0015] like Figure 2 As shown, the fire cup neck isolation unit 3 is located at the neck of the fire cup, and the fire cup internal isolation unit 4 is located inside the fire cup; the other end of the fire cup internal isolation unit 4 is closed, which is used to store the blood after cupping to prevent the blood from contaminating the fire cup. The disposable cup mouth fixer 2 is made of elastic material, one end of which is connected to the fire cup neck isolation unit 3, and the other end has good elasticity, so it can be freely stretched and contracted according to the size of the cup mouth diameter to be fixed at the cup mouth.

[0016] The fire cup neck isolation unit 3 and the fire cup internal isolation unit 4 are both made of fireproof plastic material with a thickness of about 0.005 to 0.018 mm, which will not affect the adsorption of the fire cup and will not produce a foreign body sensation when isolating the skin; the material of the fire cup internal isolation unit 4 is selected to be a harder plastic material than the fire cup neck isolation unit 3 to prevent the fire cup internal isolation unit 4 from sticking in the fire cup or falling out of the cup mouth during cupping, affecting the cupping effect.

[0017] One end of the fire cup neck isolation unit 3 in the disposable isolation unit 1 is connected to the fire cup internal isolation unit 4, and the other end is connected to the disposable cup mouth holder 2, which can play a good connection and transition role. After the cupping operation is completed, it is only necessary to remove the disposable cup mouth holder 2 from the cup mouth, and the fire cup neck isolation unit 3 and the fire cup internal isolation unit 4 connected thereto will also be removed together, and the entire device can be discarded.

[0018] Here’s how to use it:

[0019] 1. Place the disposable cup holder 2 with the opening facing upwards, put the disposable isolation unit 1 into the cupping jar 5, place the cupping jar internal isolation unit 4 inside the cupping jar tube, and place the cupping jar neck isolation unit 3 on the neck of the cupping jar 5;

[0020] 2. Fix one end of the disposable cup mouth holder 2 to the cup mouth of the fire cup 5. In this way, the disposable cup mouth holder 2 can slide inward along with the skin 6 during cupping. Since the rubber is elastic, the fire cup 5 will not leak. Figure 3 As shown, the installation of the disposable auxiliary device for cupping after bloodletting to prevent cross infection is completed, and then the flame is sequentially extended into the hole through the disposable cup mouth holder 2, the cup neck isolation unit 3 and the cup internal isolation unit 4 to reach the cup, and then the flame is quickly pulled out, and after being pulled out, the cupping cup with the disposable auxiliary device for cupping after bloodletting to prevent cross infection is quickly attached to the skin 6 of the human body to be cupped;

[0021] 3. After the bloodletting and cupping operation is completed, the cupping cup with the disposable auxiliary device for bloodletting and cupping to prevent cross infection is removed, and the blood remains in the isolation unit 4 inside the cupping cup. Figure 4 As shown, the disposable mouth holder 2 of the cupping jar mouth is removed, and at the same time, the disposable isolation unit 1 connected to the disposable mouth holder 2 is also removed, and the device can be discarded.

[0022] The disposable auxiliary device for cupping after bloodletting and preventing cross infection of the present invention can well protect the cupping cup from direct contact with the patient's skin, reduce the probability of contact infection diseases when the cupping cup is used, and has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, convenience and practicality. After being installed and used once, the present invention only needs to be torn off to perform the next cupping operation, which not only makes the operation of traditional Chinese medicine cupping therapy more standardized, but also saves the cost of disinfecting the cupping cup, which is beneficial to the development of modern traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage.

[0023] The device can completely isolate blood from the inner wall of the cupping jar. With the device, after the bloodletting and cupping operation is completed, the patient's blood is completely in the disposable auxiliary device for cupping after bloodletting that prevents cross infection provided by the invention, thus completely realizing the concept of "one person, one cup" required by modern medicine for hospital infection management.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
