BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT UTILITY MODEL

Technical Field

The present utility model relates to a therapeutic device used for the TCM technique of hook operation in the technical field of TCM medical devices.

Description of Related Arts

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a valuable asset of the Chinese nation. In the course of thousands of years, TCM has formed a complete theoretical system and all kinds of medical methods, greatly contributing to treatment of diseases and improvement of people's health. TCM includes a variety of techniques such as Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, bone-setting, tui na massage, cupping therapy, and gua sha, and is suitable for various kinds of diseases.

Among numerous TCM techniques, hook operation is an extraordinary one. Hook operation is a small painless closed minimally invasive surgery using a hook needle to hook a certain part near cervical and

DESCRIPTION

2019101011 05 Sep 2019 lumbar spine, spine or joints of the limbs to treat corresponding spinal diseases and limb joint diseases. Hook operation usually has an immediate effect and the cure rate is as high as 93.5% with no bleeding, no suture, no pain, large safety factor and low treatment cost.

A conventional hook needle for hook operation has a rod shaped needle body comprising a hook portion in a crescent shape, a neck portion and a handle portion. The hook needle for hook operation is used to stimulate and treat the lesion with acupuncture methods such as hooking therapy, cutting therapy, needle picking therapy, subtracting therapy, and pushing therapy. In the long-term treatment practice, it is found that since the front end of the hook needle has a crescent-shaped structure, the effect of perpendicular insertion on the lesion is too poor to cause stimulation as strong as that caused by a filiform needle; and, however, the TCM filiform needle is unable to carry out acupuncture methods such as hooking therapy, cutting therapy, needle picking therapy, subtracting therapy, and pushing therapy like the hook needle. Therefore, if the hook needle has a function of perpendicular insertion like a filiform needle, the therapeutic effect of the hook needle will be effectively improved and the innovative development of TCM hook operation will be promoted.
