Description

Laser needle possible angle-adjustment

The present invention relates to a laser needle capable of adjusting the angle, and more particularly, to a laser needle capable of adjusting the angle of the laser needle to adjust the angle of the laser needle to irradiate the laser needle at a predetermined angle to the affected part of the patient.

Laser needle is not only a non-pharmaceutical treatment but also a non-contact treatment. Since the patient does not have pain or bleeding during the procedure and does not have a physical metal needle, it can solve the infection concerns of other diseases. It has a great advantage to offer.

Since the early 1970s in Russia, such as Inuyshin, have been using low power lasers for the first time in clinical medicine, low power lasers such as helium-neon lasers have begun to be used in the treatment of immune systems.

In the 1990s, the team of Professor Wang Teng-dong of China reported that irradiating a low-power laser into the blood vessels has a beneficial effect on ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, ocular diseases, ophthalmic diseases and diabetes, skin diseases and arthritis. From this point on, the method of treating a low-power laser by irradiating blood vessels is called LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy).

Conventionally developed laser needles are mostly helium-neon laser needles using 633 nm wavelength red laser which is used in LLLT for the treatment of various diseases in oriental medicine. Helium-Neon lasers are low-power gas lasers of excellent quality and have small beam diameters and long coherence lengths.

In the case of the laser needle developed in the early stage, the beam emitted from the laser was directly irradiated to the lesion or irradiated using a beam guide and a condenser lens attached to the end of the beam.

However, in recent years, devices using optical fibers are mostly used, and a method of connecting the laser beam to an optical fiber and bringing the laser beam to the affected part without loss of light is carried out. Particularly, the advantage of this structure is that the laser beam is transmitted to the inside of the optical fiber, so that the operator does not have to be close to the laser needle driver and can freely irradiate the laser beam to the lesion of the client.

Acupuncture using these laser needles is applied with the technique of 补,, 泻. The energy of the meridians is to flow well, and to suppress the energy of the meridians living. Among these techniques, there is a way to reduce the energy loss by supplementing the energy and supplementing the weak organ by observing where the weak organ directly helps.

In this laser ablation method, the effect of the beam is promoted by the flow of the energy, and the effect of the laser is shown by advancing the needle in the direction of blocking the flow of energy.

In other words, it is a therapy that means to see and buy the gills with the angle of putting the needle. When the needle is placed at a 45 ° angle in the direction of flow, the flow of the gag is smooth and the gag is flowing at a 45 ° angle in the opposite direction. Become weak.

However, there is a problem that there is no such concept in laser acupuncture or LLLT combined with modern science and oriental medicine.

In addition, in order to place the laser needle by using the reciprocal method, the practitioner must hold the laser needle for a long time at a certain angle while the laser needle is irradiated to the affected part of the patient.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a laser needle capable of adjusting an angle according to the present invention. The laser apparatus of FIG. 1 comprises a pedestal 100, a laser optical fiber 200, and an angle adjusting means 300. In the present invention, the angle of the laser optical fiber 200 is adjusted to the affected part of the patient, and the laser is irradiated.

First, the pedestal 100 will be described. The pedestal 100 is made of plastic, silicon or rubber and has a passage 120 formed therein. The pedestal 100 is configured to accommodate a laser optical fiber 200 to be described later and be fixed to a patient's body.

The passage 120 extends from the inlet side to the outlet side. The extended passage 120 provides a space in which the laser optical fiber 200 can rotate at a certain angle.

The laser optical fiber 200 will be described. The laser optical fiber 200 is inserted into the passage 120 of the pedestal 100. The laser optical fiber 200 generates a laser by a laser diode (not shown) according to the supply of power, and outputs the laser received from the laser diode to the outside.

The angle adjusting means 300 will be described. The angle adjusting means 300 is installed at the entrance of the passage 120 formed in the pedestal 100. The angle adjusting means 300 is inserted so as to penetrate the laser optical fiber 200.

The angle adjusting means 300 includes an engagement shaft 320, an angle regulating member 340, a stopper 360, and an elastic member 380.

The coupling shaft 320 is coupled to the upper surface of the pedestal 100. The coupling shaft 320 serves as a center of the angle adjusting means 300.

The angle adjusting member 340 is installed at the entrance of the passage 120 formed in the pedestal 100 in the shape of a disk and is coupled to the coupling shaft 320 and rotated by the external force about the coupling shaft 320. The angle adjusting member 340 is formed with a fitting groove 344 which intersects the angle adjusting member 340 and a laser optical fiber 200 is inserted into the fitting groove 344 to rotate the angle adjusting member 340 So that the angle of the laser optical fiber 200 is adjusted. Further, the angle regulating member 340 has fixing grooves 342 formed at regular intervals on the outer circumferential surface thereof.

One end of the stopper 360 is insertable into the fixing groove 342 of the angle adjusting member 340 and the other end of the stopper 360 is formed on the upper surface of the pedestal 100. The stopper 360 is movable along the upper surface of the pedestal 100 so that one side of the stopper 360 is inserted into or separated from the fixing groove 342 of the angle adjusting member 340. When the stopper 360 is inserted into the fixing groove 342 of the angle adjusting member 340, the rotation of the angle adjusting member 340 is restricted.

The elastic member 380 is installed on the other side of the stopper 360 to restrict the rotation of the angle adjusting member 340 by pressing the stopper 360. The elastic member 380 is compressed when the stopper 360 is moved in the direction of the elastic member 380 by the rotation of the angle adjusting member 340. When the angle adjusting member 340 stops, (360) to be inserted into the fixing groove (342). The elastic member 380 is composed of a coil spring. The elastic member 380 is formed of a spring in the embodiment of the present invention, but it is obvious that the elastic member 380 can be replaced with any material capable of pressing the stopper 360 with elasticity.

When the laser optical fiber 200 is rotated at a necessary angle with the affected part of the patient by applying an external force to the angle adjusting member 340 inserted through the laser optical fiber 200, The stopper 360 pressed by the elastic member 380 is inserted into the fixing groove 342 of the angle adjusting member 340 so that the angle adjusting member 340 is fixed do. The angle adjusting means 300 allows the laser beam emitted from the laser optical fiber 200 to form a certain angle with the affected part of the patient.

Next, the operation method of the present invention will be described.

First, identify the patient's condition and designate the lesion to investigate the laser needle according to the patient's condition. Then, the pedestal 100 is fixed to the affected part of the patient. After the pedestal 100 is fixed to the affected part of the patient, an external force is applied to the angle adjusting member 340 to rotate the laser optical fiber 200 to an angle required for the laser beam method. The stopper 360 is detached from the fixing groove 342 by the rotation of the angle adjusting member 340 and moves in the direction of the elastic member 380 while the angle adjusting member 340 rotates. When the stopper 360 is moved in the direction of the elastic member 380, the elastic member 380 is compressed by the stopper 360. The stopper 360 is pressed by the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 380 and moves toward the angle adjusting member 340 after the angle adjusting member 340 rotates at a desired angle. When the stopper 360 is inserted into the fixing groove 342 of the angle adjusting member 340, the external force applied to the angle adjusting member 340 is removed. When the external force applied to the angle regulating member 340 is removed, the angle regulating member 340 is prevented from being arbitrarily rotated by the stopper 360. Thereafter, power is supplied to the laser diode to generate a laser, which is transmitted to the laser optical fiber 200. The laser beam transmitted to the laser optical fiber 200 is irradiated with a laser beam by the laser optical fiber 200 to the affected part of the patient. When the supply of power to the laser diode is stopped after the laser beam is irradiated for a predetermined period of time, the laser beam irradiated from the laser optical fiber 200 is removed. After the laser beam is removed, the pedestal 100 is removed from the affected part of the patient.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to fix the laser optical fiber 200 whose angle is easily adjusted by the angle adjusting member 340 and whose angle is adjusted by the stopper 360, The laser beam can be irradiated for a long time at an angle determined by the angle.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is a principal technical idea to provide an angle adjustable laser needle, and since the above-described embodiments are only one embodiment with reference to the drawings, the true scope of the present invention is not limited to the claims .
