Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a visualized thread embedding needle and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Embedding needles are a medical tool used for thread embedding therapy, which is a long-term acupuncture treatment method. Under strict aseptic conditions, absorbable collagen threads are embedded in specific acupuncture points through special thread embedding needles. The continuous stimulation of the acupuncture points by the embedded threads is used to make bidirectional benign adjustments to the human body through the meridians, nerves and other systems, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect. The main functions of thread embedding therapy include dredging meridians, balancing yin and yang, adjusting metabolism, and stimulating one's own potential. It is suitable for the treatment of various diseases such as internal medicine, external medicine, gynecology, and children, such as asthma, gastritis, enteritis, stroke, hemiplegia, obesity, etc., especially for chronic and intractable diseases of low immunity.

[0003] The threads used in thread embedding therapy are usually absorbable catgut or synthetic organic threads. These threads will be gradually absorbed in the body and do not need to be removed. They have no side effects on the human body and are low in allergic reactions. The course of thread embedding therapy is generally once every 7-10 days, and 4 times is a course of treatment. During the treatment, the patient may experience aseptic inflammatory reactions such as local redness, swelling, heat, and pain. These are usually normal reactions and do not require special treatment.

[0004] When choosing needles and threads for thread embedding, it is necessary to select appropriate needles and threads based on the patient's constitution, pain tolerance, and the location of the lesion. For example, patients with a strong constitution and more developed muscles may need to use thicker needles and threads, while thinner needles and threads are suitable for areas with thinner muscles in the head, neck, chest and back. When treating special acupoints, it may also be necessary to select specially treated threads.

[0005] In the prior art, acupuncture thread embedding is mostly operated manually, in which a medicine thread is placed at the front end of the needle and inserted into the needle invertedly, and the medicine thread in the needle is pushed into the skin by pushing the needle core, while pushing the needle core, while withdrawing and pushing the needle tube, finally the medicine thread is implanted in the subcutaneous tissue or muscle layer of the acupuncture point area. However, using this method for acupuncture thread embedding has obvious defects. On the one hand, since the acupuncture points of different patients may be different, and the patient's internal conditions cannot be observed, it takes a long time and increases the patient's pain. Because the needle insertion speed needs to be very slow, if it is pushed hard, the medicine thread is very likely to deviate, and the depth of the buried thread advancement is also difficult to grasp. On the other hand, the technical requirements for the operator are high. Since the medicine thread needs to be re-placed every time it is used, repeated operations not only prolong the treatment time, but also increase the treatment risk. In clinical practice, patients are often stabbed in the skin and operators scratch their fingers. Therefore, it is necessary to design a visual thread embedding needle and an operation method. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a visualized thread embedding needle and an operation method.

[0013] In order to better realize the present invention, a holding tube is sleeved on the needle tube, and a damping ring is matched between the holding tube and the needle tube.

Squeeze and push the medicine thread to allow it to enter the acupuncture point.

[0015] To better implement the present invention, in the step c, the push cover is rotated to squeeze and push the medicine thread into the acupuncture point.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are embodied in: the visualized thread embedding needle and operation method of the present invention, through the cooperation of the needle tube, medicine thread, needle tip, needle tube seat, medicine thread seat, micro camera, data cable and display, when in use, the needle tip is inserted into the acupuncture point tissue of the human body while the micro camera obtains the internal image information of the acupuncture point tissue, and the medical staff observes from the display and adjusts adaptively, which can greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency of thread embedding.
