Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an acupuncture needle for the clavicle acupoint on the human body. Background Technology

[0002] Clavicle acupuncture therapy has been widely used both domestically and internationally, with significant acupuncture effects. It is welcomed and recognized by acupuncture practitioners. The method involves inserting needles into specific acupoints on the patient's clavicle and using manual techniques to stimulate these points to achieve therapeutic effects. It is particularly effective in preventing and treating common diseases, especially acute pain and limb movement disorders, providing immediate relief.

[0003] The existing acupuncture needles for the clavicle acupoint are relatively simple in shape, basically a long straight needle. During acupuncture, the angle, depth, and direction of needle insertion need to be adjusted multiple times. The needle needs to remain in the acupoint for a period of time. However, due to the special nature of the clavicle acupoint, even the slightest movement or breathing of the patient can cause the needle to move. The needle may rotate or penetrate deeper into the skin on its own, following the patient's movements. This can damage the patient's nerves, blood vessels, and other important areas, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. The current solution to this problem requires the cooperation of experienced doctors and patients.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to invent an acupuncture needle for the clavicle acupoint on the human body to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an acupuncture needle for the clavicle acupoint. This needle is simple to operate, greatly reduces the technical requirements for doctors, and allows the patient to move after needle insertion, facilitating the implementation of needle-assisted exercise therapy.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0007] An acupuncture needle for the clavicle acupoint on the human body, comprising:

[0008] Needle handle 1; The needle handle includes an enlarged handle 101 and an anti-rotation handle 102. The anti-rotation handle 102 is a columnar structure. The axial line of the anti-rotation handle 102 is fixedly connected to the first end 103 of the enlarged handle to form a "T"-shaped structure.

[0009] Needle body 2; The needle body includes needle body 201 and needle tip 202, the first end 203 of the needle body and the needle tip 202 are integrally formed, and the second end 204 of the needle body and the second end 104 of the enlarged shank are integrally formed.

[0010] The connection between the needle handle 1 and the needle body 2 is at a certain angle;

[0011] The plane containing the enlarged handle 101 and the needle body 2 is spatially perpendicular to the axial line of the anti-rotation handle 102.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-rotation handle and the expansion handle are perpendicular to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the enlarged stalk 101 has a spiral columnar structure, and the diameter of the enlarged stalk 101 is larger than the diameter of the needle body 201.

[0014] Furthermore, the axial center of the anti-rotation handle 102 is fixedly connected to the first end 103 of the enlarged handle.

[0015] Furthermore, the enlarged handle 101 is 1.5cm long, and the anti-rotation handle 102 is 0.5cm long.

[0016] Furthermore, the needle body 2 is 1.5cm long.

[0017] Furthermore, the angle at the connection between the needle handle 1 and the needle body 2 is 20°-25°.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows.

[0019] Traditional acupuncture needles come in different sizes to be used for needling different acupoints on the body. However, the acupoints for clavicle holographic therapy are quite special. The deep layer of the acupoint is the tip of the lung, and there are many blood vessels and nerves at the inner end of the bottom of the clavicle. Using traditional acupuncture needles requires skilled needling techniques and solid anatomical knowledge. Otherwise, it is easy to puncture blood vessels and nerves, or even cause pneumothorax. In particular, when patients move with the needles, the needles can move with the body, which can easily cause medical accidents.

[0020] (1) During treatment, the doctor inserts the needle obliquely into the clavicle acupoint. Due to the special angle between the needle body and the needle handle, the skin at the acupoint is essentially sandwiched between the needle handle and the needle body. One end of the needle body is connected to the needle handle, and the needle handle is relatively enlarged to fix it, so as to prevent the needle body from moving further into the skin.

[0021] (2) The needle handle adopts a "T" shaped structure so that the needle does not rotate after being obliquely inserted into the clavicle acupoint. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an acupuncture needle for the clavicle acupoint, including: a needle handle 1; the needle handle includes an enlarged handle 101 and an anti-rotation handle 102, the anti-rotation handle 102 is a columnar structure, and the axial line of the anti-rotation handle 102 is fixedly connected to the first end 103 of the enlarged handle to form a "T"-shaped structure; a needle body 2; the needle body includes a needle body 201 and a needle tip 202, the first end 203 of the needle body and the needle tip 202 are integrally formed, and the second end 204 of the needle body and the second end 104 of the enlarged handle are integrally formed; the connection between the needle handle 1 and the needle body 2 is at a certain angle; the plane where the enlarged handle 101 and the needle body 2 are located is spatially perpendicular to the axial line of the anti-rotation handle 102; the anti-rotation handle and the enlarged handle are perpendicular to each other. Compared to existing long straight needles, the needle provided in this embodiment reduces the technical requirements for doctors. Once inserted into the acupoint, the needle is essentially pinned to the skin, providing fixation and preventing further penetration that could lead to medical accidents. The pin-type design combined with the "T"-shaped vertical structure prevents needle rotation, avoiding scratches during patient movement. The anti-rotation handle is designed as a columnar structure without sharp edges, preventing the needle from being scratched.

[0026] In one embodiment, the enlarged handle 101 has a helical columnar structure, and the diameter of the enlarged handle 101 is larger than the diameter of the needle body 201. The helical columnar structure of the enlarged handle serves as an anti-slip function, increasing the stability of the doctor's operation; the diameter of the enlarged handle is slightly larger than the diameter of the needle body, which can prevent the needle from further penetrating the skin and causing medical accidents.

[0027] In one embodiment, the axial center of the anti-rotation handle 102 is fixedly connected to the first end 103 of the enlarged handle.

[0028] In one embodiment, the enlarged handle 101 is 1.5 cm long, the anti-rotation handle 102 is 0.5 cm long, and the needle body 2 is 1.5 cm long. The needle body length is designed to meet the requirements of acupoint insertion depth in actual operation; the length of the enlarged handle is consistent with the needle body length, which can make the needle stay more stable after insertion; the anti-rotation handle is long enough to prevent rotation.

[0029] In one embodiment, the angle at the connection between the needle handle 1 and the needle body 2 is 20°. This angle conforms to the insertion angle for inserting the needle into the clavicle acupoint, and the insertion angle can be maintained after insertion without changing due to the patient's movement.

[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
