Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a disinfection device for a floating needle inserter. Background Technology

[0002] Floating needle therapy is an acupuncture treatment that uses disposable floating needles to perform sweeping and dispersing needling movements in the superficial fascia under the skin around the affected muscle causing localized pain. When using this therapy, auxiliary needle insertion tools are also required, such as... Figure 1 The existing floating needle inserter shown (model PF-JZQ) is used by first inserting the floating needle into the slot at the front end of the inserter, then bringing the inserter close to the skin surface, and then ejecting the floating needle further through the button on the inserter and the internal ejection structure.

[0003] Floating needle therapy is increasingly used for pain management and some internal medicine conditions, particularly in primary healthcare institutions and clinics. However, existing floating needle insertion devices are not single-use. Because disposable floating needles are relatively expensive, they are often used multiple times on the same patient. This inevitably leads to contamination of the insertion point with bodily fluids carried on the needle surface. Therefore, the device needs to be disinfected after each treatment. Current disinfection methods primarily involve wiping with alcohol and iodine, especially common in clinics and primary healthcare institutions. Clearly, this method does not thoroughly eliminate pathogens and may cause cross-infection. In large medical institutions such as tertiary hospitals, because the floating needle inserter has a built-in spring and its main body is made of plastic, it cannot be sterilized by high temperature or complete immersion sterilization. Instead, low-temperature sterilization methods such as ethylene oxide are used. However, this method requires sophisticated equipment, which is not available in primary healthcare institutions and clinics. Furthermore, under low-temperature sterilization, the internal spring of the floating needle inserter may become wet and rust, causing a decrease in spring speed and increasing the instantaneous time for the needle to pierce the skin, thus increasing patient discomfort and reducing compliance. Some have considered using local immersion disinfection, which can effectively sterilize, but it also has many drawbacks. This method requires applying a disinfectant to the bottom (e.g., Figure 1 The area shown in the dotted line is soaked for disinfection (generally for about 20 minutes) to prevent cross-infection during subsequent use. Currently, the float needle inserter is usually placed directly into a disinfection tank containing disinfectant for soaking and disinfection. However, this method has the following problems: the float needle inserter lacks effective restraint and fixation in the disinfection tank. During the soaking process, it is easy to tilt and fall into the disinfectant water, causing water to enter the upper part of the float needle inserter and further damaging the metal ejection structure inside. In addition, after soaking and disinfection, it is inconvenient to drain the liquid on the float needle inserter. If it is taken out directly from the disinfectant water, the residual disinfectant will easily drip everywhere, resulting in poor use.

[0004] In view of the above situation, the present utility model proposes a disinfection device for a floating needle injector. Summary of the Utility Model
