Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of acupoint thread embedding, in particular to a disposable automatic thread embedding needle. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture thread embedding refers to the use of needles and medicated threads to stimulate meridians, balance yin and yang, harmonize qi and blood, and regulate internal organs within acupuncture points, based on acupuncture theory, to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. With the development of modern medical technology, minimally invasive, highly effective, and low-traumatic treatment methods have gradually become mainstream. Patients and medical staff alike desire more convenient and safe medical devices to alleviate the pain and risks of treatment. The emergence of new biomaterials, such as catgut and polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PGLA) and other polymer synthetic materials, has provided new options for acupuncture thread embedding therapy. These materials have excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and can function safely and stably in the human body.

[0003] Traditional acupuncture thread embedding therapy presents numerous operational inconveniences. For example, the needles are separated from the embedding instrument, requiring both hands for simultaneous operation, making it extremely inconvenient for a single operator. Furthermore, contact with the needle eye or needle tip can easily lead to infection. Furthermore, repeated disinfection and reuse of used needles can easily lead to cross-infection, increasing medical risks. Therefore, we propose a disposable, automatic thread embedding needle. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the numerous inconveniences associated with traditional acupuncture thread embedding therapy, such as the separation of the needle and the thread embedding device, which requires both hands to operate simultaneously, making it extremely inconvenient for a single person to operate, and the risk of infection from contact with the needle eye or needle tip. Furthermore, the repeated use of disinfected and used needles can easily lead to cross-infection, increasing medical risks. The utility model provides a disposable, automatic thread embedding needle.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A disposable automatic thread embedding needle comprises a transparent shell, a rotating turntable is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the inner cavity of the transparent shell, and a plurality of thread storage grooves are provided at equal intervals on the side wall of the rotating turntable, a puncture needle is mounted on one side of the bottom of the transparent shell at a position corresponding to the thread storage groove, and the inner cavity of the puncture needle is connected to the position of the thread storage groove in the inner cavity of the transparent shell, an upper insertion tube is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the transparent shell, and a thread embedding push needle is slidably mounted on the side wall of the upper insertion tube at a position corresponding to the upper end of the puncture needle, and a disinfection mechanism is provided in the middle of the inner cavity of the upper insertion tube.

[0007] Furthermore, a needle push slide is provided on the side wall of the upper insertion tube corresponding to the position of the puncture needle head, and a side wall T-shaped groove is provided on the side of the needle push slide close to the center of the upper insertion tube. A needle push slider is slidably connected in the side wall T-shaped groove, and the outer end of the needle push slider is arranged to penetrate the transparent shell outward. The thread embedding push needle is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the middle part of the outer end of the needle push slider, and a sliding through hole is provided on the side wall of the transparent shell corresponding to the outer end of the needle push slider.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer end of the push-pin slider is fixedly connected to an operating pull rod, and the operating pull rod extends downward and is fixedly connected to an operating finger ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the disinfection mechanism includes a sealing plug, a cylindrical disinfectant liquid tank is opened at the center of the upper end of the upper insert cylinder, and the sealing plug is inserted into the upper end of the upper insert cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, a sterilizing cotton swab is fixedly inserted in the center of the sealing plug, and a liquid-absorbing cotton core is fixedly connected in the disinfectant liquid compartment of the upper insert tube.

[0011] Furthermore, a switching knob is inserted and rotated at the bottom of the transparent shell, and a rotating shaft of the switching knob passes through the transparent shell and is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the rotating turntable.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom center of the upper plug-in cylinder is fixedly connected to a limit turn block, and a docking slot is provided at the upper center of the rotating turntable. The limit turn block is rotatably inserted into the docking slot. A limit ball head column is movably inserted on one side of the middle part of the side wall of the limit turn block, and a compression spring is provided between the limit ball head column and the bottom of the slot. Limited hemispherical grooves are provided on the inner wall of the docking slot at positions corresponding to multiple wire storage slots.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The utility model is provided with a transparent shell. The rotating turntable inside the transparent shell can store multiple medicine threads respectively through multiple wire storage slots on the outer wall. By rotating the rotating turntable, the wire storage slot aligned with the puncture needle can be changed. Then, by pushing the embedding needle to extend and retract, the medicine thread can be pushed through the puncture needle when the puncture needle is inserted into the patient's acupuncture point, and the embedding thread material can be accurately and quickly implanted into the acupuncture point. After the implantation is completed, the embedding thread push needle is pulled out, and then the rotating turntable is rotated to switch to the medicine thread in the next wire storage slot for the next embedding thread treatment. This needle instrument not only simplifies the operating process and reduces the risk of trauma and infection, but also improves the stability and repeatability of the therapeutic effect. The continuous automatic loading of embedding thread materials facilitates continuous puncture treatment of the same patient. The disposable feature also avoids the risk of cross infection, providing patients with a safer and more reliable treatment method.

[0015] 2. The utility model is provided with an operating pull rod, which is convenient for the doctor to operate. The doctor can insert the thumb into the operating ring. When the puncture needle pierces the patient's acupuncture point, the transparent shell can drive the needle push slider to move downward through the operating pull rod, thereby pushing the suture material through the puncture needle. When pulling out, the suture push needle is pulled out first through the operating pull rod, and then the puncture needle is pulled out through the transparent shell, which is convenient for resetting the suture push needle.

[0016] 3. The utility model has a sterilizing cotton swab that can absorb the disinfectant in the disinfectant tank and apply it to the skin at the acupuncture point to improve the disinfection effect. The absorbent cotton core that is provided can absorb and fix the disinfectant to reduce the risk of the disinfectant shaking and overflowing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
