Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to acupuncture needles embedded in the superficial fascia, and more particularly to an acupuncture needle embedded in the superficial fascia. Background Technology
[0002] The effects and functions of acupuncture needles are usually to unblock meridians, strengthen the body's resistance and eliminate pathogens, and harmonize yin and yang. Acupuncture can effectively relieve symptoms such as headaches and neck pain by precisely stimulating acupoints, thus improving the patient's quality of life.
[0003] For example, an acupuncture needle with authorization announcement number "CN208525415U" has a needle tip connected to one end of the needle shaft, including a needle body. The needle body is equipped with a needle tip, needle shaft, needle handle, needle tail, and spring sleeve. The needle tip is located at the front end of the needle body and is integrally connected to the needle body, while the other end is connected to the needle handle. The needle tail is located at the tail end of the needle body and is connected to the needle handle. The spring sleeve wraps around the outside of the needle body. This spring sleeve allows the physician's fingers to directly contact the spring sleeve without touching the acupuncture needle during operation, ensuring aseptic operation and reducing infection. While the chances of infection are low, in the use of acupuncture needles, there are not only vertical needling but also horizontal needling. Acupuncture needle embedding is a traditional Chinese medicine external treatment method that involves embedding specially made short needles into the subcutaneous layer of the acupoint for continuous stimulation. Its core function is to harmonize qi and blood and dredge the meridians through gentle and lasting acupoint stimulation, thereby relieving pain. However, when acupuncture needles are embedded, the needle body is cylindrical. When the acupuncture needle is fixed in place with adhesive tape, the contact area between the acupuncture needle and the tape is small, and the acupuncture needle is prone to slippage, causing the fixed position of the acupuncture needle to change. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art by providing an acupuncture needle embedded in the superficial fascia, which increases the contact area between the acupuncture needle and the adhesive tape, prevents the acupuncture needle from slipping easily, and avoids changes in the fixed position of the acupuncture needle.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This acupuncture needle embedded in the superficial fascia includes a round rod, the outer wall of which is connected to a control structure, the control structure including a handle and protrusions, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round rod, and multiple protrusions are respectively processed on the front and rear sides of the handle, and vertical plates are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the handle.
[0006] This feature, through the combination of the handle and the protrusions, increases the contact area with the tape, preventing the acupuncture needle from slipping after the tape adheres.
[0007] To further improve the design, the right side of the handle is flush with the right side of the round rod.
[0008] To further improve the design, a needle is fixedly attached to the right side of the round rod.
[0009] This setting allows the needle to be inserted into the patient's designated acupoints for pathological treatment.
[0010] As a further improvement, a protective sleeve is inserted into the right side of the outer wall of the needle.
[0011] This feature uses a sheath made of rubber to shield and protect the sharp part of the needle, preventing the needle from causing scratches to the user or patient.
[0012] To further improve the design, a sleeve is fixedly attached to the left side of the outer wall of the needle.
[0013] This setting allows the sleeve to increase the local thickness of the needle, and the needle can be rotated by rubbing the sleeve with your fingers.
[0014] To further improve the design, adhesive tape is adhered to the outer wall of the handle.
[0015] This feature allows the tape to adhere to the patient's skin after being bonded to the handle, thus securing the handle in place.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, by controlling the position of the handle in the structure, it will fit against the patient's skin surface. Then, the tape will be adhered to the surface of the handle, and at the same time, the tape will be adhered to the surface of the protrusion. Subsequently, the two sides of the tape will be adhered to the patient's skin. At this time, the handle and the protrusion can increase the contact area with the tape, thereby increasing the contact area between the acupuncture needle and the tape, preventing the acupuncture needle from slipping easily, and avoiding changes in the fixed position of the acupuncture needle.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0023] See attached document Figure 1-4In this embodiment, an acupuncture needle embedded in the superficial fascia includes a round rod 1. The outer wall of the round rod 1 is connected to a control structure 2. The control structure 2 includes a handle 201 and protrusions 202. The inner wall of the handle 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round rod 1. Multiple protrusions 202 are machined on the front and rear sides of the handle 201 respectively. Vertical plates 203 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the handle 201 respectively. The vertical plates 203 can form a force point with the hand, making it easy for the hand to exert force to move the handle 201.
[0024] By controlling the position of the handle 201 in the control structure 2 to fit against the patient's skin surface, the tape 6 is then adhered to the surface of the handle 201. At the same time, the tape 6 adheres to the surface of the protrusion 202. Subsequently, both sides of the tape 6 are adhered to the patient's skin. At this time, the handle 201, in conjunction with the protrusion 202, can increase the contact area with the tape 6, thereby increasing the contact surface between the acupuncture needle and the tape, preventing the acupuncture needle from slipping easily, and avoiding changes in the fixed position of the acupuncture needle.
[0025] The right side of the handle 201 is flush with the right side of the round rod 1. The needle 3 is fixedly connected to the right side of the round rod 1. A sheath 4 is inserted into the right side of the outer wall of the needle 3. The sheath 4 is a rubber sleeve. A sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the needle 3. The sleeve 5 can increase the local thickness of the needle 3 to prevent it from rotating when pinched by a finger. Adhesive tape 6 is glued to the outer wall of the handle 201.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] Acupuncture needle embedding usage:
[0028] Hold the sleeve 5 between your index finger and thumb, and use your other hand to pull the sheath 4 to the right to detach it from the needle 3. Then move the sleeve 5 along with the needle 3 so that the needle 3 is inserted into the superficial fascia at the designated location on the patient's body. After the needle 3 is inserted, the handle 201 will be in contact with the patient's skin. Then, stick the tape 6 to the surface of the handle 201. At the same time, the tape 6 will stick to the surface of the protrusion 202. Then, stick both sides of the tape 6 to the patient's skin. At this time, the handle 201 and the protrusion 202 can increase the contact area with the tape 6, which improves the stability of the acupuncture needle. Through gentle and long-lasting acupoint stimulation, it harmonizes qi and blood, and unblocks the meridians, thereby achieving the effects of relieving pain, regulating visceral function, and improving sub-health.
[0029] Acupuncture needle removal:
[0030] Press the handle 201 onto the skin with your fingers, then tear the tape 6 off the skin and the handle. The position of your fingers and the vertical plate 203 can then form a point of force. Pull the vertical plate 203 outward, moving the handle 201 outward. The handle 201, together with the inner wall round rod 1, removes the needle 3 from the patient, completing the removal of the acupuncture needle. Then, put the sheath 4 on the right side of the outer wall of the needle 3 to cover the sharp part of the acupuncture needle.
[0031] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail are possible within the scope of the claims.
