Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acupoint application technology, specifically to an acupoint application for pregnant women. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) external therapy, acupoint application combined with drug penetration and acupoint stimulation can help alleviate common prenatal discomfort symptoms in pregnant women. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are often attributed in TCM to spleen and stomach disharmony and upward flow of qi. Applying warming and antiemetic herbs such as ginger and evodia to Neiguan (PC6) and Zhongwan (CV12) acupoints can regulate stomach qi and relieve symptoms like acid reflux and loss of appetite. If lower limb edema occurs in the mid-to-late stages of pregnancy, it is often related to spleen deficiency and dampness retention. Applying herbs to acupoints such as Zusanli (ST36) and Yinlingquan (SP9) can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, along with herbs like Poria and Atractylodes macrocephala to promote fluid metabolism. Some pregnant women experience insomnia due to qi and blood depletion and malnourishment of the mind. Applying calming acupoints such as Shenmen (HT7) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) can be helpful (note that strong stimulation of Sanyinjiao should be avoided in late pregnancy to prevent the risk of uterine contractions).
[0003] When applying acupoint patches clinically, it is essential to strictly adhere to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine differentiation of syndromes. The medicinal materials used should be adjusted according to the individual's constitution (cold / heat, deficiency / excess). For example, for those with cold-deficiency type morning sickness, warming and dispersing cold herbs are suitable, while for those with liver and stomach heat, herbs that clear heat and relieve nausea should be added. The application time for acupoint patches is generally controlled at 4-6 hours, aiming for slight redness of the skin without stinging. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately. In addition, pregnant women should avoid sensitive acupoints such as Hegu and Jianjing, which may affect fetal development. In late pregnancy, the intensity of stimulation should be carefully selected. Clinical application has revealed that due to the special physical factors of pregnant women and the physiological characteristics of vigorous metabolism during pregnancy, the amount of sweat secretion on the skin surface increases significantly. When sweat continuously soaks the application site of the medicated patch, the adhesion of the patch decreases, making it difficult to maintain an effective application time of 4-6 hours. This creates a chain reaction of "shortened application time - insufficient drug penetration - interruption of acupoint stimulation - decreased clinical efficacy."
[0004] Therefore, how to design an acupoint patch for pregnant women that can be applied for 4-6 hours to allow the medicine to fully penetrate and continuously stimulate acupoints is a technical problem that has not yet been solved in the existing technology. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the technical defects in the prior art where pregnant women, due to their special constitution and vigorous metabolism, have increased sweat secretion, which easily leads to a decrease in the adhesion of the medicated patch, making it difficult to maintain an effective application time of 4-6 hours, thus affecting drug penetration, acupoint stimulation and therapeutic effect. In this way, a medicated patch for pregnant women can be applied for 4-6 hours, allowing the drug to fully penetrate and continuously stimulate acupoints.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides an acupoint patch for pregnant women, comprising:
[0007] The hydrogel sheet has several primary vent holes running through it;
[0008] An adhesive sheet is attached to one side of the hydrogel sheet and has several second vent holes that are opposite to the first vent holes. Several adhesive dots are provided on the adhesive surface of the adhesive sheet, and a connected vent channel is formed between adjacent adhesive dots.
[0009] The tablet is placed in the center of the adhesive surface of the adhesive patch;
[0010] When applied, the adhesive patch is bonded to the skin via the adhesive dots, and the hydrogel sheet adheres to the skin. Outside air can enter the breathable channel through the first and second vents and circulate within the breathable channel.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, an installation groove with openings at both ends is formed between adjacent hydrogel strips; an adhesive strip matching the installation groove is provided between adjacent arc-shaped openings; when the adhesive sheet is attached to the hydrogel sheet, the adhesive strip is installed within the installation groove.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the hydrogel strip has mounting positions at both ends, and the adhesive strip has connecting adhesive strips integrally formed at both ends that match the mounting positions; when the adhesive sheet is pasted onto the hydrogel sheet, the connecting adhesive strips are installed within the mounting positions.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive patch has a circular adhesive piece in the middle, and the tablet is placed in the middle of the circular adhesive piece.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes an annular retaining ring, which is fitted onto the outer circumference of the tablet and bonded to the circular adhesive sheet.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the other side of the hydrogel sheet is provided with a first release paper, and the first release paper has a plurality of third vent holes that are opposite to the first vent holes.

[0034] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0035] This embodiment provides an acupoint patch for pregnant women, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes: a hydrogel sheet 1, an adhesive patch 2, and a tablet 3; wherein, the hydrogel sheet 1 has a plurality of first vent holes 11 extending through it; the adhesive patch 2 is adhered to one side of the hydrogel sheet 1 and has a plurality of second vent holes 21 extending through it opposite to the first vent holes 11, and a plurality of adhesive dots 22 are provided on the adhesive surface of the adhesive patch 2, with a communicating ventilation channel 23 formed between adjacent adhesive dots 22; the tablet 3 is placed in the middle of the adhesive surface of the adhesive patch 2; when applied, the adhesive patch 2 is adhered to the skin through the adhesive dots 22, the hydrogel sheet 1 is adhered to the skin, and outside air can enter the ventilation channel 23 through the first vent holes 11 and the second vent holes 21, circulating within the ventilation channel 23.
[0036] Acupoint application therapy for pregnant women should be conducted under the guidance of a professional Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner. Appropriate acupoints should be selected based on individual constitution and symptom characteristics. Treatment typically involves selecting key acupoints on the abdomen, waist, and lower limbs. Specifically, with the navel (Shenque acupoint) as the center, acupoints are selected symmetrically on both sides, 2 cm away from the navel. For the waist, the bilateral Shenshu acupoint area (approximately two finger-widths lateral to the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra) is selected. For the lower limbs, the bilateral Zusanli acupoints (four finger-widths directly below the outer knee eye) are located. During application, the medicated patch 3 is aligned and applied to the acupoint, then the adhesive patch 2 is adhered to the skin, and the hydrogel patch 1 is then fixed in place. During application, outside air can enter the ventilation channel 23 through the first ventilation hole 11 and the second ventilation hole 21, circulating within the ventilation channel 23 and promoting the evaporation of sweat from the skin surface. Compared to traditional acupoint patches, the acupoint patch used in this embodiment for pregnant women can adhere firmly to the skin, ensuring that the application time reaches the requirement of 4-6 hours, allowing the medicine to fully penetrate into the deep layers of the acupoints, continuously stimulating the acupoints, and ensuring the therapeutic effect.
[0037] The hydrogel sheet 1 has several arc-shaped hydrogel strips 12 formed on one side to which the adhesive sheet 2 is attached. The adhesive sheet 2 has several arc-shaped openings 24 opposite to the hydrogel strips 12, allowing the hydrogel strips 12 to be installed by matching the arc-shaped openings 24, and after installation, the top surface of the hydrogel strips 12 is flush with the top surface of the adhesive dots 22. When the adhesive sheet 2 is attached to the skin through the adhesive dots 22, the hydrogel strips 12 adhere to the skin, providing a slightly cooling sensation, keeping the skin surface dry and comfortable, and reducing sweat exudation by cooling the skin.
[0038] An installation groove 13 with openings at both ends is formed between adjacent hydrogel strips 12; an adhesive strip 25 matching the installation groove 13 is provided between adjacent arc-shaped openings 24; when the adhesive piece 2 is attached to the hydrogel piece 1, the adhesive strip 25 is installed in the installation groove 13.
[0039] The hydrogel strip 12 has mounting positions 14 at both ends, and the adhesive strip 25 has connecting adhesive strips 26 integrally formed at both ends that match the mounting positions 14; when the adhesive sheet 2 is pasted onto the hydrogel sheet 1, the connecting adhesive strips 26 are installed in the mounting positions 14.
[0040] A circular adhesive piece 4 is provided in the middle of the adhesive piece 2, and the tablet 3 is placed in the middle of the circular adhesive piece 4.
[0041] It also includes an annular retaining ring 41, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the tablet 3 and bonded to the circular adhesive piece 4. The annular retaining ring 41 can further restrict the position of the tablet 3 and prevent the tablet 3 from shifting due to contact with sweat.
[0042] The other side of the hydrogel sheet 1 is provided with a first release paper 5, and the first release paper 5 has several third air vents 51 that are opposite to the first air vents 11. During the application process, outside air enters the air vent 23 through the third air vents 51, the first air vents 11 and the second air vents 21, and circulates within the air vent 23, promoting the evaporation of sweat on the skin surface.
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, a second release paper 6 is detachably disposed on the adhesive surface of the adhesive patch 2. When applying the patch to a pregnant woman, the second release paper 6 is first peeled off from the adhesive patch 2, and then the adhesive patch 2 is adhered to the pregnant woman's skin.
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the second release paper 6 has a receiving cavity 61 in the middle, which is opposite to the annular retaining ring 41. The receiving cavity 61 has an end opening, which is used to allow the annular retaining ring 41 to be installed into the receiving cavity 61.
[0045] The first vent 11 is formed in the mounting position 14, and the second vent 21 is formed on the connecting adhesive strip 26.
[0046] In this embodiment, the acupoint patch for pregnant women is used as follows: When applying the acupoint patch to a pregnant woman, first peel the second release paper 6 off the adhesive sheet 2, then align the medicated tablet 3 with the acupoint, then stick the adhesive sheet 2 onto the skin, and finally attach the hydrogel sheet 1 to the skin to complete the fixation; during the application process, outside air can enter the ventilation channel 23 through the third vent 51, the first vent 11, and the second vent 21, and circulate within the ventilation channel 23 to promote the evaporation of sweat on the skin surface.
[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this innovative technical solution.
