Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of catgut embedding, and specifically relates to a simple acupoint catgut embedding operation method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of modern medicine, acupuncture treatment and catgut embedding therapy have gradually become effective means combining traditional medicine and modern treatment methods. Traditional acupoint catgut embedding treatment methods usually use catgut suture and traditional embedding needles. Although these methods can achieve the expected treatment effect to a certain extent, there are certain operation complexities and efficiency problems. The operation of traditional needles and wire materials is difficult, the operation time is long, and the number of acupoints that need to be treated each time is limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more simple, efficient, and aseptic catgut embedding method to meet the clinical needs.

[0003] Some progress has been made in the existing technology in improving the materials of suture and the design of needles, such as using polylactic acid absorbable suture and improved puncture needles. However, it still faces problems such as cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and poor operation accuracy. In view of these problems, the present invention proposes a simple acupoint catgut embedding operation method. By using disposable puncture needles and surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture, it not only improves the operation efficiency, but also optimizes the treatment effect, reduces the risk of infection, and can effectively reduce the pain of patients. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, a simple acupoint catgut embedding operation method is provided, and this technical solution solves the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A simple acupoint catgut embedding operation method, the operation steps include:

[0007] S1: Select acupoints, determine the acupoints of the patient that need to be embedded with catgut, and perform disinfection treatment;

[0008] S2: Prepare suture, select a suitable surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture, and introduce it into a disposable puncture needle;

[0009] S3: Puncture operation, use the puncture needle to aim at the selected acupoint, gently press and insert the suture through the puncture needle;

[0010] S4: Based on the contraction of the patient's muscle, the suture is automatically positioned under the patient's skin;

[0011] S5: Cut off the excess suture, use scissors to obliquely cut off the excess suture to ensure that the suture remains in the appropriate position;

[0012] S6: Complete the thread embedding. The suture is absorbed and remains in the subcutaneous position, thus completing the thread embedding operation.

[0013] Preferably, for the thread embedding operation, a No. 7 disposable puncture needle and a surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture are used.

[0014] Preferably, by using a disposable puncture needle and a surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture, multiple acupoints can be treated simultaneously. Approximately 10 acupoints can be treated in each operation, and the operation time for each acupoint is only 2 - 3 minutes, thus significantly improving the operation efficiency.

[0015] Preferably, the specific steps of S1 include:

[0016] Before selecting acupoints, it is necessary to evaluate the patient's overall health condition and relevant medical history to ensure there are no contraindications to specific acupoints and treatment methods;

[0017] Confirm the purpose and direction of treatment, and determine the appropriate acupoints for thread embedding based on the patient's clinical symptoms and diagnosis;

[0018] Select the specific acupoints to be thread - embedded, and use a sterile marking pen and a disinfected cotton swab to make slight marks on the skin to clarify the acupoint positions;

[0019] After selecting the acupoints, use 75% medical alcohol or other suitable disinfectants to thoroughly clean the selected area. Start from the center and expand to the outer circle to ensure that all areas that may come into contact with the needle and the operation area are cleaned;

[0020] During disinfection, attention should be paid to avoiding cross - contamination. Wear sterile gloves during the operation to ensure a sterile environment throughout the process;

[0021] After disinfection, wait for the alcohol to naturally volatilize and dry for 30 seconds to 1 minute to avoid allergies and burns caused by alcohol residue;

[0022] Ensure that the skin shows no signs of damage, inflammation or infection. If there are redness, ulceration and skin lesions, avoid operating on this area and select other acupoints;

[0023] Before the operation, explain the whole process to the patient to ensure the patient relaxes and avoid tension and discomfort reactions.

[0024] Preferably, the specific steps of S2 include:

[0025] According to the patient's condition, treatment needs and the area for thread embedding, select the suture. According to the depth of thread embedding required, the patient's constitution and treatment plan, select the corresponding wire diameter and length;

[0026] Take out the surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture and check whether it meets the quality requirements to ensure the sterility and integrity of the suture;

[0027] Using sterile gloves and a sterile operating table, open the suture package and keep the suture sterile.

[0028] Connect one end of the suture to the needle hole of a disposable puncture needle, ensuring a firm connection of the thread end to prevent it from falling off and breaking during the operation.

[0029] Insert the other end of the suture into the needle tube of the puncture needle. At this time, ensure a tight connection between the puncture needle and the suture to avoid difficulties in puncture and the thread end falling off.

[0030] Ensure that the suture has been smoothly introduced into the puncture needle and is fixed without looseness, and there is no damage to the connection part between the needle tip and the suture. Check whether the suture is neat and ensure appropriate tension of the thread.

[0031] During the operation, avoid touching the exposed part of the suture to ensure its sterility, and use a sterile clip to hold the end of the suture.

[0032] Preferably, the step S3 specifically includes:

[0033] According to the treatment plan, determine the specific position where the suture is to be buried, and select the target acupoint through accurate anatomical landmarks and meridian theory.

[0034] Align the tip of the puncture needle with the selected acupoint position, ensuring an appropriate angle between the needle tip and the skin surface, which is between 15° and 30°.

[0035] Hold the handle part of the puncture needle and press the needle tip into the skin. Keep the direction of the needle tip stable during the puncture process to avoid the needle deviating or vibrating.

[0036] After the puncture needle is inserted, the front end of the suture will enter under the skin accordingly, and the suture should enter the subcutaneous tissue along with the puncture needle.

[0037] If the patient feels discomfort or pain, immediately stop the operation and re-evaluate the puncture position and method.

[0038] After completing the puncture operation, ensure that the puncture needle has successfully penetrated the skin and the target tissue, the suture is in the predetermined position, check whether there is bleeding and adverse reactions at the puncture site, and handle and disinfect it in a timely manner.

[0039] Preferably, the step S4 specifically includes:

[0040] After the puncture needle is inserted and the suture has entered the subcutaneous tissue through the needle tube, lift the needle tube to separate it from the skin.

[0041] When removing the needle tube, keep the angle between the needle tube and the skin surface consistent to avoid excessive pulling and misalignment. When removing the needle tube, ensure that the tail end of the suture remains in the subcutaneous tissue to prevent the suture from being pulled out.

[0042] As the muscle naturally contracts, the suture automatically positions itself under the skin according to the muscle activity. With the change of the patient's body position and muscle movement, an ideal buried suture effect is formed.

[0043] After removing the puncture needle, observe whether the suture is successfully positioned at the correct site of the subcutaneous tissue as expected, and check whether the suture is loose or misaligned. The suture part should be evenly distributed in the target area.

[0044] If the position of the suture is not ideal, adjust it again. By fine-tuning the direction and position of the suture, ensure that it forms tension and shape at the target position.

[0045] Preferably, the step S5 specifically includes:

[0046] Reserve about 1-2 cm of the excess suture. Use surgical scissors for the operation. Cut off the excess suture obliquely along the direction of the suture with the scissors.

[0047] Keep the cutting angle at about 45 degrees. After cutting off the excess suture, check whether the remaining suture is located within the predetermined acupoints and is not loose.

[0048] After cutting off the excess suture, ensure that the remaining suture does not expose the skin surface. If there is an exposed suture end, adjust and trim it again, and at the same time check whether there is any damage or bleeding to the surrounding skin caused by improper suture cutting.

[0049] Preferably, the step S6 specifically includes:

[0050] Observe the absorption condition of the suture, and pay attention to the patient's reaction and the local recovery condition.

[0051] After buried suture, disinfect the local skin, and explain the postoperative nursing methods to the patient, including avoiding excessive exercise, preventing local infection, and regularly checking the changes of the treatment site.

[0052] Remind the patient to observe whether the skin shows redness, allergy and adverse reactions. After the operation is completed, the doctor records the relevant buried suture information, including the type of suture used, the acupoints of buried suture, the operation time and relevant precautions.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0054] The present invention uses a No. 7 disposable puncture needle and a surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture to efficiently complete the catgut embedding operation at multiple acupoints. Approximately 10 acupoints can be treated each time, and the operation time is only 2-3 minutes, significantly improving the treatment efficiency. Compared with the traditional method, this technology simplifies the puncture and suture processes, reduces the operation difficulty, alleviates the patient's pain, reduces the infection risk through aseptic operation, and can adjust the embedding depth and length according to the patient's condition to achieve personalized treatment. The polylactic acid absorbable suture avoids secondary suture removal, reduces the postoperative burden on the patient, ensures the stability of the treatment effect, and simplifies the nursing work. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] Figure 1 It is a flowchart framework of the steps of the present invention;

[0056] Figure 2 In the present invention, S2 is the flowchart framework of the steps. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0057] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments in the following description are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations.

[0058] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, a simple catgut embedding operation method, the operation steps include:

[0059] S1: Select acupoints, determine the acupoints of the patient that need to be embedded with catgut, and perform disinfection treatment;

[0060] S2: Prepare the suture, select a suitable surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture, and introduce it into the disposable puncture needle;

[0061] S3: Puncture operation, use the puncture needle to aim at the selected acupoint, gently press and insert the suture through the puncture needle;

[0062] S4: Based on the contraction of the patient's muscles, the suture is automatically positioned under the patient's skin;

[0063] S5: Cut off the excess suture, use scissors to obliquely cut off the excess suture to ensure that the suture remains in the appropriate position;

[0064] S6: Complete the catgut embedding, the suture is absorbed and remains in the subcutaneous position, and the catgut embedding operation is completed.

[0065] The suture uses a No. 7 disposable puncture needle and a surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture for the catgut embedding operation;

[0066] The use of a No. 7 disposable puncture needle and a surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture not only improves the adaptability and durability of the suture, but also avoids the allergic and discomfort problems that may be caused by traditional catgut suture. In addition, the use of a disposable puncture needle greatly reduces the trouble of disinfection and reuse, and improves the safety and hygiene of the operation.

[0067] By using a disposable puncture needle and a surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture, multiple acupoints can be treated simultaneously. Each operation can treat about 10 acupoints, and the operation time for each acupoint is only 2-3 minutes, thus significantly improving the operation efficiency.

[0068] The innovation of this step lies in optimizing the operation speed and efficiency, being able to quickly treat multiple acupoints, and reducing the operation time for each acupoint to 2-3 minutes, greatly increasing the number of patients treated and the efficiency, without sacrificing the treatment effect.

[0069] S1 specifically includes:

[0070] Before acupoint selection, it is necessary to evaluate the patient's overall health status and relevant medical history to ensure there are no contraindications to specific acupoints and treatment methods.

[0071] Confirm the purpose and direction of treatment, and determine the appropriate catgut embedding acupoints based on the patient's clinical symptoms and diagnosis.

[0072] Select the specific acupoints to be embedded with catgut, and use a sterile marking pen and a disinfected cotton swab to make slight marks on the skin to clarify the acupoint positions.

[0073] After the acupoints are selected, use 75% medical alcohol or other suitable disinfectants to thoroughly clean the selected area. Start from the center first and expand to the outer circle to ensure that all places that may come into contact with the needle and the operation area are cleaned.

[0074] During disinfection, attention should be paid to avoiding cross-contamination. Wear sterile gloves during the operation to ensure a sterile environment throughout the process.

[0075] After disinfection, wait for the alcohol to naturally volatilize and dry for 30 seconds to 1 minute to avoid allergies and burns caused by alcohol residue.

[0076] Ensure that the skin shows no signs of damage, inflammation or infection. If there is redness, ulceration and skin lesions, avoid operating on this area and select other acupoints.

[0077] Before the operation, explain the whole process to the patient to ensure the patient relaxes and avoid tension and discomfort reactions.

[0078] The innovation of this step lies in comprehensively evaluating the patient's overall health condition and medical history to ensure there are no contraindications, thus guaranteeing the safety of the operation. In addition, a sterile marker pen and disinfected cotton swabs are used to accurately mark the acupoint positions, and the disinfection process is strictly implemented to avoid cross-contamination, ensuring a strict aseptic environment during the operation and reducing the infection risk during the operation.

[0079] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, S2 specifically includes:

[0080] According to the patient's condition, treatment needs, and the part where the catgut is to be embedded, select the suture. According to the depth of catgut embedding required, the patient's constitution, and the treatment plan, select the corresponding wire diameter and length;

[0081] Take out the surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture and check whether it meets the quality requirements to ensure the sterility and integrity of the suture;

[0082] Use sterile gloves and a sterile operating table, open the suture package, and keep the suture in a sterile state;

[0083] Connect one end of the suture to the needle hole of the disposable puncture needle, ensure that the thread end is firmly connected to prevent it from falling off and breaking during the operation;

[0084] Insert the other end of the suture into the needle tube of the puncture needle. At this time, ensure that the puncture needle and the suture are tightly connected to avoid the situation of unsmooth puncture and thread end falling off;

[0085] Ensure that the suture has been smoothly introduced into the puncture needle and is fixed without looseness, and the connection part between the needle tip and the suture is not damaged. Check whether the suture is neat and ensure that the tension of the suture is appropriate;

[0086] During the operation, avoid touching the exposed part of the suture to ensure its sterility, and use a sterile clip to clamp the end of the suture;

[0087] In the selection of the suture, the surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture is innovatively combined. This material can be naturally absorbed by the human body after treatment without secondary operation or removal, greatly reducing the patient's recovery burden. At the same time, by carefully checking the integrity of the suture, the sterility and safety of the whole operation are ensured.

[0088] S3 specifically includes:

[0089] According to the treatment plan, determine the specific position where the suture is to be embedded, and select the target acupoints through accurate anatomical landmarks and meridian theory;

[0090] Align the tip of the puncture needle with the selected acupoint position, ensure that the needle forms an appropriate angle with the skin surface, which is between 15° and 30°;

[0091] Hold the handle part of the puncture needle, press the tip of the needle into the skin, and keep the direction of the tip stable during the puncture process to avoid needle deviation or vibration;

[0092] After the puncture needle is inserted, the front end of the suture will enter under the skin accordingly, and the suture should enter the subcutaneous tissue along with the puncture needle;

[0093] If the patient feels discomfort or pain, stop the operation immediately and re-evaluate the puncture position and method;

[0094] After completing the puncture operation, ensure that the puncture needle has successfully penetrated the skin and the target tissue, the suture is in the predetermined position, check whether there is bleeding and adverse reactions at the puncture site, and deal with it in time and disinfect;

[0095] The correct selection of the puncture angle and position can ensure that the suture accurately enters the target acupoint, and through a stable operation method, the errors caused by hand tremors or unstable directions in traditional operations are avoided, greatly improving the treatment accuracy and effect.

[0096] S4 specifically includes:

[0097] After the puncture needle is inserted and the suture has passed through the needle tube into the subcutaneous tissue, lift the needle tube to separate it from the skin;

[0098] When removing the needle tube, keep the angle between the needle tube and the skin surface consistent to avoid excessive pulling and dislocation. When removing the needle tube, ensure that the tail end of the suture remains in the subcutaneous tissue to avoid the suture being pulled out;

[0099] With the natural contraction of the muscle, the suture automatically positions under the skin according to the muscle activity. With the change of the patient's body position and muscle movement, an ideal buried suture effect is formed;

[0100] After removing the puncture needle, observe whether the suture is successfully positioned at the correct part of the subcutaneous tissue as expected, observe whether the suture is loose or misaligned, and the suture part should be evenly distributed in the target area;

[0101] If the position of the suture is not ideal, adjust it again. By finely adjusting the direction and position of the suture, ensure that it forms tension and shape at the target position;

[0102] Innovatively utilize the muscle contraction principle, and use the natural movement of the patient's muscle to help position and fix the suture, which can make the buried suture more conform to the patient's body posture and physiological activities, reduce the complexity of manual adjustment, and at the same time increase the natural persistence of the treatment effect.

[0103] S5 specifically includes:

[0104] Leave about 1 - 2 cm of the excess suture thread, and operate with a surgical scissors. Cut off the excess suture thread obliquely along the direction of the suture thread using the scissors.

[0105] Keep the cutting angle at about 45 degrees. After cutting off the excess thread, check whether the remaining suture thread is located within the predetermined acupoints and is not loose.

[0106] After cutting off the excess thread, ensure that the remaining suture thread does not expose the skin surface. For the exposed thread ends, adjust and trim again. At the same time, check whether there is any damage and bleeding to the surrounding skin caused by improper suture thread cutting.

[0107] The precise suture thread trimming method innovatively trims the excess suture thread at an angle of 45 degrees, avoiding the problems of suture thread exposure or unevenness that may occur in traditional methods, and ensuring the natural closure and comfort of the suture thread.

[0108] S6 specifically includes:

[0109] Observe the absorption situation of the suture thread, and pay attention to the patient's reaction and the local recovery situation.

[0110] After embedding the thread, disinfect the local skin, and explain the postoperative care methods to the patient, including avoiding excessive exercise, preventing local infection, and regularly checking the changes in the treatment area.

[0111] Remind the patient to observe whether there is redness, allergy, and adverse reactions on the skin. After the operation, the doctor records the relevant thread-embedding information, including the type of suture thread used, the acupoints where the thread is embedded, the operation time, and relevant precautions.

[0112] In summary, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0113] Using a No. 7 disposable puncture needle and a surgical polylactic acid absorbable suture thread, the thread-embedding operation of multiple acupoints can be completed at one time. Each operation can handle about 10 acupoints, and the operation time for each acupoint is only 2 - 3 minutes, significantly improving the treatment efficiency and saving time.

[0114] Compared with the traditional thread-embedding needle and catgut, this method simplifies the process of suture thread handling and puncture, reduces the operation difficulty and technical requirements, is more convenient to operate, and reduces the pain of the patient.

[0115] Due to the use of a sterile puncture needle and a polylactic acid absorbable suture thread, and strictly controlling the sterile environment during the operation, the occurrence of infection can be effectively reduced, ensuring the safety of the treatment process.

[0116] This method can select the appropriate thread-embedding depth, wire diameter, and length according to the specific situation of the patient, adapt to different constitutions and treatment needs, and has good personalized treatment effects.

[0117] Through strict puncture techniques and reasonable suture control, adverse reactions such as bleeding and swelling at the puncture site are reduced, and the discomfort and complication incidence rate after treatment are lowered;

[0118] The use of polylactic acid absorbable sutures can avoid the discomfort caused by long-term suture retention in patients, and the wire can maintain appropriate local tension during subcutaneous absorption, further promoting the continuous stability of the treatment effect;

[0119] Since the suture is an absorbable material, patients do not need to have a second suture removal, which reduces the postoperative burden on patients, simplifies postoperative care, and reduces the nursing cost of patients;

[0120] After the treatment is completed, the doctor can record relevant buried suture information, including the type of suture used, the specific position of the buried suture, the operation time, etc., to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the patient's treatment process and provide a strong basis for postoperative follow-up and adjustment.

[0121] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only the principle of the present invention.
