[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention aims to solve various problems in the wearing of existing elbow braces and the difficulty in sharing between microneedle therapy and elbow braces. As Figures 1-4 shown, the following technical solutions are provided: An elbow injury assisted treatment brace with a replaceable microneedle module, including a forearm brace 2 and an upper arm brace 1. The forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1 are connected by a non-woven fabric 5. The forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1 include a soft polymer material layer and a support skeleton 6 dispersed inside the soft polymer material layer. At least one microneedle placement groove 7 is penetrated through the forearm brace 2 and / or the upper arm brace 1. A microneedle module 3 is detachably arranged in the microneedle placement groove 7. The microneedle module 3 includes a breathable patch 31 and a microporous tape area 32 arranged in the middle area of the breathable patch 31. A number of microneedles 33 are arranged in the microporous tape area 32. Combining the microneedle module 3 with the elbow injury treatment brace can simultaneously use the microneedles 33 for acupuncture treatment when wearing the elbow injury treatment brace, and the microneedles 33 are very convenient to replace.

[0019] Specifically, the breathable patch 31 has good breathability and maintains good adhesion to the skin. It not only makes the patient feel more comfortable during long-term application, but also effectively avoids the airtight feeling of the skin after long-term application. The microporous tape area 32 is convenient for arranging the microneedles 33. Nine microneedles 33 can be arranged on the microporous tape area 32 to meet the needs of elbow joint treatment. In this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the microneedles 23 are in a T shape. The T-shaped microneedles 33 will not fall off when the breathable patch 31 is torn off and can be combined with the breathable patch 31. Among them, the diameter of the T-shaped microneedles 33 can be 0.15 mm, and the length of the top T-shaped structure is 0.3 mm.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-3As shown, the microneedle module 3 further includes a plastic cover 35 that matches the microneedle placement groove 7. At least one snap plastic part 34 is provided on one side of the plastic cover 35. The snap plastic part 34 is snapped into the corresponding card slot on the side wall of the microneedle placement groove 7. By setting the plastic cover 35, the microneedle module 3 can be protected to prevent the microneedle module 3 from detaching from the forearm brace 2 or the upper arm brace 1. The plastic cover is convenient to disassemble and assemble. The snap plastic part 34 and the plastic cover 35 are integrally formed and can be inserted into the card slot on the side wall of the microneedle placement groove 7 in a snap-fastening manner. After insertion, the installation of the plastic cover 35 can be achieved. If disassembly is required, the plastic cover 35 can be laterally shifted as a whole to disengage the snap plastic part 34 from the card slot, realizing disassembly.

[0021] In this embodiment, the soft polymer material layer can be made of PVC material or EVA foam. The PVC material is polyvinyl chloride, and the EVA foam is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Both are relatively common materials with the characteristics of antibacterial, non-toxic, odorless, and pollution-free.

[0022] In addition, an elastic pressing plate 36 is provided on the inner side of the plastic cover 35. The elastic pressing plate 36 is in contact with the microporous adhesive tape area 32. The elastic pressing plate 36 can press the microporous adhesive tape area 32 and the microneedles 33, making the breathable dressing not easy to fall off, with lasting stickiness, ensuring the treatment effect.

[0023] To firmly fix the forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1, elastic adjustment straps 4 are provided on both the forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1, which can firmly fix the forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1 to the elbow joint. Among them, they can be woven from materials such as polyester, nylon, and spandex, with good elasticity and convenient to wear.

[0024] In this embodiment, the forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1 can also have a heating function. For example, a graphene coating and a conductive sheet are laid in the forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1 for convenient heating. Graphene is a good conductive material, which can heat the forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1 and the skin, accelerating blood circulation, relieving the pain caused by wrist joint injuries. A temperature controller and a battery can be provided on the outer side of the forearm brace 2 and the upper arm brace 1 to supply power and control the temperature of the graphene coating. The temperature regulator and the graphene coating work together to adjust the temperature, and the upper limit of the set temperature is 50°C.

[0025] When in use, three microneedle modules 3 can be arranged on the upper arm brace 1, respectively at the positions of Shouwuli point, Zhouliao point and Quchi point. When the patient uses it, first snap the microneedle module 3 into the microneedle placement groove 7. Then adjust the position, place the non-woven fabric 5 at the joint, so that the three microneedle modules 3 can be exactly in sequence from left to right at the Shouwuli point, Zhouliao point and Quchi point. The nine microneedles 33 not only prevent the patient from failing to accurately find the acupoints, but also can stimulate the acupoints and the nearby soft tissues at the same time, achieving a better effect of relieving and assisting in the treatment of elbow joint injuries. After the treatment, the T-shaped microneedles 33 are not likely to remain in the patient's tissue either.

[0026] After the patient installs the microneedle module 3, when using it, first use the adjustment strap to adjust the tightness, and then use the temperature regulator to adjust to a suitable temperature. The upper temperature limit is 50 °C to prevent scalding caused by the patient accidentally touching it, etc. It is recommended that the temperature of the brace be controlled at 40 - 45 °C (it is mentioned in the Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Closed Soft Tissue Injuries and Pain Management that the internal heat needles are controlled at 40 - 45 °C and maintained constant), and the time is controlled at 20 - 30 minutes. Usually, the patient can also wear the brace directly without installing the microneedles, adjust it to a suitable temperature, and relieve the pain caused by the elbow joint.

[0027] The patient can replace the microneedles at home by himself, which is simple and convenient. The microneedles are small, and the patient is also emotionally more receptive. The heating effect of the brace and the microneedles together play the effect of heat moxibustion. At a suitable temperature, the blood circulation accelerates. Coupled with the stimulation of the microneedles on the Wuli point, Zhouliao point and Quchi point, it can more effectively relieve the pain caused by wrist joint injuries, and has a better effect of assisting in the treatment of the wrist joint.
