[0035] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: When in use;

[0036] Preparation stage: First, the operator loads the blocking drug into the syringe 1 and adjusts the drug dosage through the first scale 2 and the index slot 13. The assisting plate 5 on the outer side of the syringe 1 can help the operator hold and operate the device more stably.

[0037] Puncture stage: The operator aligns the puncture needle 4 with the target puncture site. By using the high-strength medical stainless steel material of the puncture needle and applying manual force, the puncture needle penetrates the skin and subcutaneous tissue until it reaches the area near the nerve to be blocked.

[0038] Catheter needle deployment stage: When the puncture needle 4 reaches the target area, the operator rotates the knob 8, causing the threaded post 14 to move up and down in the threaded groove 10, thereby pushing the piston 16 and the connecting frame 17, and enabling the catheter needle 18 to advance forward along the inside of the puncture needle. The arc-shaped edge 19 at the bottom of the catheter needle 18 is designed to help reduce tissue damage.

[0039] Umbrella structure deployment stage: The retractable umbrella structure at the front end of the catheter needle 18 is composed of an elastic support sheet 20 and a flexible support sheet 21. When the catheter needle 18 reaches the designated position, the umbrella structure automatically unfolds under the action of the elastic support sheet 20. The flexible support sheet 21 is made of flexible medical material to ensure that it will not damage the surrounding tissues during the unfolding process.

[0040] Injection of blocking drug stage: After the umbrella structure unfolds, the operator can continue to rotate the knob 8 to precisely control the injection volume of the drug through the second scale 12. The limit plate 15 can prevent the threaded post 14 from rising excessively, ensuring the safety of the injection process. At this time, the drug is evenly injected around the target nerve through the catheter needle 18 to achieve nerve block.

[0041] Completion of injection: After the injection is completed, the operator can rotate the knob 8 to retract the catheter needle 18 into the inside of the puncture needle 4. At the same time, the elastic support sheet 20 and the flexible support sheet 21 will also contract into the inside of the puncture needle 4 under the action of the retraction of the catheter needle 18, and then slowly withdraw the puncture needle 4 to complete the entire nerve block operation.

[0042] Throughout the process, the anti-slip groove 11 on the outer side of the knob 8 provides a good grip, making the operation more stable and reliable. The nerve block needle of the present utility model realizes the accuracy and safety of the nerve block operation through precise design, effectively reducing the discomfort of the patient and the risk of complications.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
