Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To puncture an acupuncture/moxibustion needle into the human body while maintaining the sterilized state of the needle when an acupuncture body 2 is previously sterilized because it is insanitary to directly touch the acupuncture body 2 to be punctured into the human body by a thumb and a forefinger in a conventional acupuncture/moxibustion needle. <P>SOLUTION: The acupuncture/moxibustion needle can be operated in the sterilized state and is characterized by a film 1 coating the needle. The film is, for example, made of a soft material and highly elastic, and is formed in the shape of a cylinder or bellows so that the film can contract without resistance on the skin when the needle is punctured. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

この発明は、鍼灸治療に用いる針の形状に関する。 The present invention relates to the shape of a needle used for acupuncture.

図４に示す従来の針、および図５に示す鍼管４を使用する従来技術は、母指と次指との間にあらかじめ針を挿入した鍼管４を保持し、他方の手の次指で鍼管４の上部より突出した鍼柄３を押すことで、鍼体２の先端が皮膚内に刺入され、その後に鍼管４を上方に除去し、鍼管４を保持していた母指と次指が替って鍼体２を保持することで、鍼体２を安定的に皮膚あるいは筋肉内に刺入する方法である。 The conventional needle shown in FIG. 4 and the prior art using the soot tube 4 shown in FIG. 5 hold the soot tube 4 in which the needle is inserted in advance between the thumb and the next finger, and the next finger of the other hand. The tip of the rod body 2 is inserted into the skin by pushing the rod pattern 3 protruding from the upper part of the rod tube 4 and then the mother tube 4 is removed upward and the mother holding the tube 4 In this method, the case 2 is stably inserted into the skin or muscle by holding the case 2 in place of the finger and the next finger.

しかしながら、以上の従来技術によれば、人体に刺入される鍼体２に母指と次指が直接触れるため不衛生であり、鍼体２をあらかじめ滅菌した場合でも、無菌状態を維持したまま針を体内に刺入することが出来ない。
そこで、この発明は、体内に刺入される鍼体２が指に接触しない鍼灸用針を提供する事を課題とする。 However, according to the above prior art, it is unsanitary because the thumb and the next finger directly touch the case 2 to be inserted into the human body. The needle cannot be inserted into the body.
Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the needle for acupuncture in which the housing 2 inserted in the body does not contact a finger | toe.

以上の課題を解決するために、第一発明は、針が薄膜で覆われた事を特徴とし、無菌操作を可能とする鍼灸用の針である。また第二発明は、体内に刺入する針を薄膜で覆い、刺入時に薄膜が皮膚上で収縮することを特徴とする無菌鍼灸針である。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the first invention is characterized by the fact that the needle is covered with a thin film and is a needle for scissors that enables aseptic operation. The second invention is a sterile needle that is characterized in that the needle inserted into the body is covered with a thin film, and the thin film contracts on the skin at the time of insertion.

第一発明、または第二発明によれば、鍼灸用針を薄膜で覆うことにより手指が鍼体に触れず、無菌状態を保ったまま体内に刺入できる。
また、鍼体２を一旦体内から抜き、もう一度刺入を行う際、鍼柄３に固定された薄膜が、刺入前の状態に近い長さまで伸展するため、無菌状態を保ったまま再度の刺入ができる。 According to the first invention or the second invention, by covering the heel needle with a thin film, the fingers do not touch the cadaver and can be inserted into the body while maintaining aseptic condition.
In addition, when the housing 2 is once removed from the body and inserted again, the thin film fixed to the handle 3 extends to a length close to that before insertion, so that the insertion can be performed again while maintaining aseptic conditions. I can enter.

この発明の一実施形態を、図２に示す。
鍼体２は円筒形の薄膜１の内部に挿入され、鍼柄３に固定されている。図２に示すように、薄膜１の長さは、鍼管４の上部より突出した鍼柄３の長さ５の分だけ、鍼体２よりも長さ６の分だけ短い。 One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
The housing 2 is inserted into the cylindrical thin film 1 and fixed to the housing 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the length of the thin film 1 is shorter by the length 5 of the collar 3 protruding from the upper part of the rod tube 4 and by the length 6 than the casing 2.

この実施例によれば、図２に示すように、母指と次指との間にあらかじめ鍼を挿入した鍼管４を保持し、他方の手の次指で鍼管４の上部より突出した鍼柄３を押すことで、鍼体２の先端が皮膚内に刺入され、その後に鍼管４を上方に除去し、鍼管４を保持していた母指と次指が替って鍼体２を保持する際、直接鍼体２に指が接触せず、薄膜１上から鍼体２を保持することで、鍼体２を安定的に皮膚あるいは筋肉内に刺入する。図３に示すように、刺入に伴って、柔軟な薄膜１は抵抗無く、皮膚面７の上で収縮し皮膚あるいは体内を損傷せず、刺入操作を妨げない。 According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the heel tube 4 with the heel inserted in advance between the thumb and the next finger is held, and the second finger of the other hand protrudes from the upper portion of the tub tube 4 By pressing the heel handle 3, the tip of the skeleton 2 is inserted into the skin, and then the heel tube 4 is removed upward, and the mother finger and the next finger holding the tub tube 4 are replaced with the heel. When holding the body 2, the finger does not directly contact the housing 2, and the housing 2 is held from above the thin film 1, so that the housing 2 is stably inserted into the skin or muscle. As shown in FIG. 3, the flexible thin film 1 does not resist with puncturing, contracts on the skin surface 7, does not damage the skin or the body, and does not disturb the puncturing operation.

図１の実施例では、薄膜１は円柱形であったが円錐形あるいは蛇腹状であってもよい。また、図１の実施例では、薄膜１は鍼柄３を覆うように固定されていたが、図６で示すように薄膜１は鍼柄３の下部に固定されてもよい。加えて、図２の実施例では、鍼管４を使用したが、これを使用せず薄膜１上から鍼体２を母指と次指にて保持し、直接皮膚あるいは筋肉内に刺入してもよい。 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the thin film 1 has a cylindrical shape, but may have a conical shape or a bellows shape. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the thin film 1 is fixed so as to cover the collar pattern 3, but the thin film 1 may be fixed to the lower part of the collar pattern 3 as shown in FIG. 6. In addition, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the fistula 4 is used, but this is not used and the casing 2 is held from the thin film 1 with the thumb and the next finger and directly inserted into the skin or muscle. May be.
