Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of clinical auxiliary technology, in particular to a hand fixing device for assisting acupuncture treatment. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture therapy is the use of acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment. The needle is inserted into the human body to restore the circulation of the veins to normal, and then stimulate the acupoints to treat diseases. The twelve meridian points on the hand and various holographic therapies are often used in the clinical operation of acupuncture. Among them, the holographic therapy at the junction of the red and white flesh on both sides of the fingers often needs to consider raising the treated fingers to facilitate the doctor's needle insertion and operation. At this time, the patient's fingers need to be fixed and maintained for 20 to 30 minutes of treatment. How to keep the patient in a comfortable position and maintain it is what the doctor needs to consider when using hand holographic therapy. At present, the form of paper rolls can be used clinically to raise the treated fingers, but the disadvantage is that each time the position is needed, it needs to be prepared again, which is time-consuming and inconvenient.

[0003] According to market research, the instruments with acupuncture auxiliary grips currently used are mainly the following:

[0004] Chinese patent application: CN103611217B discloses an electronic acupuncture palm fixer, which specifically provides a palm fixer design, an adjustment rod design, and a treatment electrode and adjustment rod fixation, making it easy for users to fix their palms, and easy to fix the treatment electrode on the second metacarpal bone of the hand, solving the problem of fixing the palms of users with different palm thicknesses and fixing the treatment electrode to the second metacarpal bone of the palm. The disadvantage is that the form of making a fist is not standardized and uncomfortable, and the fixation of the wrist and the palm are separated, which makes the fixation more difficult and difficult, affecting the treatment effect.

[0005] Chinese patent application: CN207101632U discloses an acupuncture robot and an intelligent acupuncture system, which specifically provides a palm fixing frame and a holographic acupoint of the second metacarpal bone for acupuncture and massage treatment. Through control instructions, acupuncture and massage treatment can be performed for different patients, and remote auxiliary treatment is realized, and the treatment effect is uploaded immediately, so that medical staff can better serve patients. The disadvantage is that it is limited to the holographic therapy of the second metacarpal bone, which has great limitations.

[0006] Chinese patent application: CN201720088765.4 discloses a palm fixing frame and acupuncture robot. The gripping part imitates the shape of the palm when holding an egg to improve the comfort of the hand; the treatment base plate imitates the shape of the back of the hand and the thumb when holding an egg, which is conducive to the relative fixation of the acupuncture points and the treatment base plate during acupuncture, and improves the accuracy and stability of acupuncture. The disadvantages are that the wrist and palm are fixed together, the mechanism of the treatment host is unknown, and the battery needs to be replaced, which reduces the flexibility of use and narrows the scope of clinical application.

[0007] When these devices are used clinically, they only consider the fixation of the palm, ignoring the support and fixation of the finger joints when acupuncture is performed on the acupoints of the fingers; and although the intelligent treatment function can play a certain role in treatment, it cannot fully demonstrate its effectiveness when actually used in the hospital. In summary, there is an urgent need for a hand fixation device that can assist patients in stably fixing their hands and fingers during acupuncture treatment, which is conducive to improving the medical staff's grasp of acupoints and accurate guidance of patients during treatment, and can reduce patients' pain and improve comfort. However, there is no report on this new type of hand fixation device for auxiliary acupuncture treatment. Summary of the invention
