Description

  The present invention relates to a safety acupuncture used in the field of acupuncture, and in particular, a practitioner or a treated acupuncturist directly touches the distal end of the cadaver and the cadaver during storage, at the time of treatment, and after the treatment. There is no safety guard that is effective in preventing infection.

  At present, the method of acupuncture widely used for acupuncture is the tube acupuncture method. The treatment in the tube method is performed using a separate tube and tube. First, the practitioner inserts a sputum into the fistula and presses the pusher (that is, at the time of insertion or removal) so that the thumb of the hand of the hand that does not have the fistula already inserted is in contact with the thumb. Make a hand) on the skin surface that is sometimes held to support the nail tube or body. Next, insert the 鍼 tube already inserted between the thumb and index finger of the pusher, and support it according to the insertion angle of the inserted 鍼 tube with the pusher. By hitting the upper end of the heel handle with the finger pad of the hand to be pulled out (usually, the length of the tub tube used in the tub tube method is about 3 to 4 mm shorter than the entire length of the tub. , Cut by the length of the difference with a stabter). After cutting the skin, remove only the scissors tube leaving the cut scissors, pinch the housing directly with a pusher, and insert it in a supported state. When the tip of the housing reaches the desired depth, immediately hold the housing with the pusher, or leave it for a certain period of time (replacement) and then create the pusher again and remove the kite. The used casing and the tip of the casing after extraction remain unexposed.

  In this way, in the tube method, since the rod tube and the casing are separated, the pusher directly touches the casing at the time of insertion and removal. Therefore, there is a risk that the body is contaminated by the operator's fingers before insertion. Further, since the case without the fistula is removed from the human body during extraction, there is a risk that the operator's fingers are contaminated with the patient's body fluid due to the exposed case and the tip of the case. The same can be said for the treatment with gloves.

  There is a risk that the body and the used end of the body are bare and the practitioner accidentally stabs himself or the person who discards accidentally stabs himself. At present, in the educational facilities and clinical facilities that raise acupuncturists, the disposal of sputum after use has been done. First, the used sputum is thrown away into a cylindrical rubbish case with a diameter of about 8cm and a height of about 17cm. By the way, a method has been adopted in which only used waste is taken out from the waste case by hand and transferred to medical cardboard and disposed of. In such a disposal method, when the used trash is thrown into the waste case, or when the used trash is transferred from the waste case to the cardboard for medical waste, the used trash is accidentally stuck in a human hand. There is a risk that it will end up.

In addition, in order to prevent infection due to acupuncture, it has been proposed to wear a finger sack, surgical gloves, etc. during an acupuncture operation, but the operation itself is cumbersome and the outer surface of the contaminated bag body is further troublesome. There is a problem that there is a risk of finger touch.
Various means for preventing infection have been proposed for such acupuncture and the disposal of wrinkles after use.

  In recent years, for example, a method of covering the housing with a coating (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-131446) or covering the lower end of the housing with a small tube that fits within the inner diameter of the steel tube (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-177752). Has been proposed. In these methods, the cadaver and the fistula are separated during the treatment, and are discarded separately after the treatment. In other words, at the stage of disposal, the housing and the tip of the housing are bare, and no consideration is given to prevention of infection to third parties due to post-surgical puncture or the like.

JP-A-57-131446 JP-A-57-177752

  The present invention relates to acupuncture for safety acupuncture used in the field of acupuncture, during storage, during operation, during the post-treatment disposal period, from patient to practitioner and from practitioner to third party, and It is an object to provide a safety bag that can prevent infection caused by a third person such as a disposal contractor at the time of disposal.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the safety rod of the present invention includes (1) a rod tube, and (2) filling and fixing the upper portion in the rod tube to provide resistance to the movement of the rod and to hold the rod. (1) one or more housing holding stuffings, and (3) a housing movably held by the padding, the housing being longer by the insertion depth of the housing than the length of the rod, 4) Provided at the lower end of the rod handle provided at the upper portion of the rod or at the upper end of the rod, and when the tip of the rod reaches a predetermined penetration depth that enters the body from the skin surface, A stopper that prevents the handle from entering the tubule, and (5) an adhesive or adsorptive pedestal on the skin contacting surface side of the bottom of the tubule, and (6) It is characterized by being longer than the depth of insertion of the frame.

  In addition, the safety rod of the present invention, which is different from the above for achieving the above object, includes (1) a soot tube and (2) the top of the soot tube that is fixed to the top of the soot tube or outside the soot tube. Fixed body holding / stop means whose uppermost part is located on the same plane as the upper end of the tubule or protrudes from the upper end of the tubule, and the tip of the casing enters the body from the skin surface. A body holding / stopping means that prevents the handle from entering the inside of the tub when the penetration depth is reached, and that can hold the skeleton and at the same time provide resistance to movement of the skeleton, 3) A casing that is movably held by the casing holding / stopping means, and that is longer than the length from the skin contact side tubule end to the heel handle contacting end of the casing holding / stopping means. And (4) a sticky or adsorptive base on the skin contact surface side of the bottom of the tubule And (5) the length from the handle contact side end of the rod holding / stop means to the skin contact side end of the rod is longer than the penetration depth of the rod It is characterized by.

  In the safety rod of the present invention, since the fistula is not separated from the rod during storage, at the time of treatment, and after the treatment, the practitioner or the processor of the used rod has the tip of the rod and the rod. There is no direct touch. Therefore, it is effective in preventing infection from the patient to the practitioner, preventing infection from the practitioner to the third party, and preventing infection by the practitioner himself or the discarder himself.

  The safety rod of the present invention can accurately reach the target depth by the stopper and prevent the housing from entering beyond the target depth. This eliminates unnecessary damage to tissues or important organs. In particular, there are important organs in the chest and abdomen, and an accurate penetration depth is required for the operation of the same site. In the conventional treatment using acupuncture, since the depth of the inserted body is measured by the operator's can and sense, the possibility of accidentally inserting the body deeper than necessary, Alternatively, the tip of the housing may not reach the target position. In addition, when the body is placed, the weight of the body / leather handle, the weight of the bath towel, etc. hung on the body / leather pattern, muscle contraction, etc. will cause unexpected further invasion of the body. May enter. Since the safety rod of the present invention has a stopper, these disadvantages can be eliminated.

  In the safety rod of the present invention, the housing can be held movably by the housing holding padding or the housing holding / stop means in the housing, so that the housing moves straight at the time of insertion or removal. Can be used instead of a pusher. The safety rod of the present invention has a pedestal, so that the fistula can be stably placed on the skin surface at the time of treatment, and the inserted state of the rod can be stably maintained (placed) for a certain period of time.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Safety Acupuncture Figure 1 shows a state prior to use from the time of storage of the safety needle of the present invention, the (a) Appearance front view, (b) is a top view, (c) the C-C 'in (b) It is sectional drawing. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 3 denotes a rod tube, and a rod holding pad 4 for giving an appropriate resistance to the movement of the rod 1 inside and holding the rod 1 is filled and fixed in the upper part of the rod tube 3. Yes.
The fixed position of the housing holding stuffing 4 is the upper position in the tub tube 3, that is, the lower surface of the housing holding stuffing 4 is above the middle position of the tub tube 3, and the upper surface of the housing holding stuffing 4 is It is preferable to set the position to the upper end of the tube 3. The housing holding stuffing 4 may be a laminate of a plurality of layers made of different materials. The length and the number of the casing holding stuffing 4 can be arbitrarily selected according to the use mode. A pedestal is provided on the skin contact surface side of the bottom of the soot tube. The lower surface of the pedestal 8 is formed of an adhesive material or a suction cup having adhesiveness or adsorbability to the human skin. The pedestal 8 may be formed integrally with the soot tube 3, or may be formed separately from the soot tube 3 and detachably combined. Such a means is effective for stably placing the fistula on the skin surface in the treatment with the safety fistula and maintaining (inserting) the puncture state of the case stably for a certain period of time.

FIG. 2 shows a state where the safety guard of FIG. 1 is inserted from the skin surface of the human body 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the stick tube 3 is left on the skin surface at the time of treatment by the pedestal 8 having adhesiveness or adsorptivity, and the insertion state of the case 1 is stably maintained (placed) for a certain period of time. Can do.
The pedestal 8 functions particularly effectively when the insertion depth is reduced in placing the cage, when the stability of the inserted cage is ensured, or when energization stimulation is performed.

  Further, for example, the housing 1 is sterilized by providing the housing holding stuffing 4 at the upper and lower portions in the tub tube 3 and using the casket holding stuffing 4 provided at the lower portion of the tub tube 3 as sake refined cotton. be able to. Since the housing 1 is movably held by the housing holding stuffing 4 in the housing 3 in the safety rod of the present invention, the housing 1 can move straight during insertion or extraction. Instead of a pusher.

The material of the body holding stuffing 4 includes cotton, sponge, plastic, silicone resin, rubber, polysaccharides, protein, sponge, foamed plastic, synthetic fiber, natural fiber, raw meat such as animal meat and fish meat, processed meat (ham etc.) Or a combination of these materials can be used. The casing 1 is movably held at the center of the casing holding stuffing 4, and the tip 9 of the casing 1 enters from the lower end of the casing 3 to a position of a distance S ₁ .
A collar pattern 2 is formed on the top of the chassis 1. A stopper 5 is provided at the upper end of the soot tube 3 so that the bottom end of the soot handle 2 cannot enter into the soot tube 3. The stopper 5 can be provided on the outer side or the inner side of the soot tube 3.

  FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the stopper, and shows a state before use of the safety rod of the present invention when the stopper 25 is provided on the lower end side of the handle 2 (illustration of the pedestal is omitted). ). 3A is an external front view, FIG. 3B is a top view, and FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ in FIG. The length of the casing 1 is preferably set to a length that increases the therapeutic effect when the casing 1 enters the tubal tube 3 to the maximum.

FIG. 4 further shows another embodiment of the stopper, and FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D show a case where the stopper 251-254 is provided on the heel handle 2, respectively. Although the handle | steering-wheel 2 and a part of the housing 1 are shown, it is the aspect of the stopper of a different form from the stopper 25 shown in FIG. 4A is an example in which a part of the stopper 251 protrudes from the collar 2, and FIG. 4B is an example in which a collar-shaped stopper 252 is provided on the lower surface of the collar 2. (C) is an example of a stopper 253 formed so as to cover the lower surface from the lower part of the handle 2, and FIG. 4 (d) is provided with a jaw at the lower part of the handle 2 so as to give a stopper function to the handle 2. This is an example of the stopper 254.
FIG. 5 further shows another embodiment of the stopper, and shows an example in which a stopper 255 is provided on the top of the housing 1 below the collar 2. For example, a clip-shaped stopper 255 can be used.

Arrangement is made so that the upper surface (uppermost part) of the casing holding stuffing 4 located at the uppermost part of the tub tube 3 is located at the same position as the upper end of the tubing pipe 3, and this skeleton holding stuffing 4 may be used as a substitute for the stopper 25. . Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the uppermost part of the housing holding stuffing 4 may have a shape protruding from the upper end of the housing tube 3. A function as a stopper can be provided. Furthermore, the rod holding pad 4 prevents the rod handle 2 from entering the rod tube 3 when the tip of the rod 1 reaches a predetermined penetration depth that enters the body from the skin surface, And it has the function which can give resistance to the movement of the housing 1 simultaneously with holding the housing 1. The housing holding stuffing 4 that also serves as a stopper function is referred to as “housing holding / stopping means”.
As shown in FIG. 8, when the stopper 5 is provided outside the rod tube 3, the stopper 5 is provided with a rod holding function so that the rod 1 can move so as to come to the central axis of the rod tube 3. You may make it the resistance at the time of a movement become a resistance comparable as the housing | casing holding | maintenance filling 4 shown in FIG.1 (c), FIG.2 or FIG.7. The stopper 5 having such a function can also be referred to as the “body holding / stopping means” similar to the above.

  The shape of the housing holding / stopping means is preferably a film shape, a sheet shape, a plate shape, a bulk shape, a columnar shape, a clip shape, etc., and a size that does not protrude from the outer diameter of the rod tube 3. In addition, you may provide a stopper in the lower end side of the collar 2 instead of providing the stopper 5 in the saddle pipe 3 side. The same material as that of the case holding padding 4 can be used as the material of the case holding / stopping means.

In the safety bag of the present invention, the frame holding pad 4 can hold the frame 1 as long as it is movable, and it is desirable to reduce the resistance when the frame 1 is moved. the diameter of the tube 3 is reduced, it is desirable to keep lightly鍼管3, also, it is desirable to shorten the distance S _1. By doing so, it becomes easy to enter the safety rod, and because the rod 3 is light, placing is easy.

  FIG. 2 shows a state where the safety guard of FIG. 1 is inserted from the skin surface of the human body 6. The length of the casing 1 is set to be the sum of the length of the casing 3 and the length (insertion depth) of inserting the casing 1 into the human body 6. The practitioner fixes the rod tube 3 with the left hand and gives the rod handle 2 a rotational movement or a straight movement with the right hand, so that the rod 1 can be moved to the target position of the human body 6 without directly touching the rod body 1 with a hand. The tip 9 can be reached by a twisting method, a feeding method, or the like. Similarly, the operator can perform extraction without directly touching the case 1 by fixing the intubation tube 3 with the left hand and giving the handle 2 rotational or straight movement with the right hand. . The state of the safety rod after extraction is a state in which most of the casing 1 is accommodated in the casing 3 from the tip 9 of the casing 1 as shown in FIG. The human body can be prevented from contacting the body 1. As described above, the safety rod of the present invention is such that the practitioner or the processor of the used rod directly touches the distal end 9 and the rod 1 of the case 1 during storage, treatment, and disposal after treatment. It is effective in preventing infection.

  The safety rod enters the body by a length equivalent to the length of the rod 1 minus the length of the rod 3. In addition, when the stopper 5 is provided outside the soot tube 3, it is a value obtained by further subtracting the height of the stopper 5.

The shape of the lower end shape of the safety rod When it is necessary to insert the case obliquely with respect to the skin surface of the human body, the lower end of the canopy tube 3 may be cut obliquely as shown in FIG. 6 is measured at the central axis of the soot tube 3. A pedestal 8 is provided in accordance with the shape of the lower end of the tub tube 3 with respect to the tub tube 3 whose lower end is oblique (illustration of the pedestal is omitted in FIG. 6).

Treatment using a safety scissors To perform a treatment using the safety scissors of the present invention, first, the practitioner is placed between the thumb and index finger of the presser who made the safety scissors canal 3 on the skin surface. Insert and support the sputum tube 3 with a pusher, hit the upper end of the spear pattern 2 with a stabter (the hand that pierces or pulls out the spear), cuts it at the tip 9 of the housing 1, and cuts the spear pattern 2 is inserted and moved by a twisting method or a feeding method to the position at which the handle 2 stops at the upper end of the rod tube 3 by the stoppers 5 and 25 provided at the lower end of the rod 2 or the upper end of the rod tube 3. 1 is made to reach the target position in the human body 6. Depending on the strength of the resistance of the casing holding stuffing 4 when the casing 1 is moved, or depending on the length of the casing 1 protruding from the upper end of the casing tube 3, it is inserted from the beginning by the twisting method. May be. This state is maintained for a certain period of time when performing placement. Since the safety rod of the present invention has a pedestal, it can be placed easily. Next, while holding the soot tube 3 with a pusher, the housing 1 is pulled out and pulled up to a position before use. Since the safety rod of the present invention has a pedestal, a pusher is not required. At this stage, the portion of the housing 1 inserted into the human body 6 is accommodated in the tub tube 3. The soot tube 3 in such a state is separated from the human body 6 and discarded to a predetermined place.

  The safety scissors according to the present invention are safety scissors used in the field of acupuncture, and in particular, during the storage, treatment, and post-treatment waste treatment, the practitioner or the used acupuncturist treats the tip of the housing. In addition, since it does not touch the housing directly, it is used as a safety rod effective in preventing infection. The safety rod of the present invention can reach the target depth accurately by the stopper and prevent the rod from entering beyond the target depth, so that more tissues or important organs than necessary can be removed. Used as a safety rod that will not be damaged.
