Description

Herbal medicine and its manufacturing method {THERMONEEDLE FOR AN ORIENTAL MEDICINE AND FABRICATION METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a medical needle and a method of manufacturing the same.

Acupuncture in Korean medicine is to select various types of acupuncture needles according to the form of the disease in the human body, stab a certain part of the human body, and use various techniques to harmonize blood flow and meridian well. Tell how to heal the disease. Acupuncture is the treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion by stimulating the acupuncture points on the meridians (經穴) to adjust the function of the gut (혈) and blood (穴) to treat the disease.

According to the internal diameter, "in order to cure the poor and true, you need nine needles." In the past, sesame, distant, hour hand, bee needle, Nine acupuncture needles were used: lanceolate, principle needle, basin needle, long needle, and large needle. Acupuncture needles, hot needles, warm needles, electric needles, laser needles, etc. are used for most treatments.

Among them, the warm needle is to achieve the desired therapeutic purpose by burning the moxibustion rod on the top of the needle after immersion by a predetermined depth in acupuncture points. The main advantage of warm acupuncture is that the treatment can expect acupuncture and moxibustion at the same time to prevent the burning of the moxibustion directly on the blood as well as to obtain the effect that can not be obtained by saliva alone. In addition, by immersing the proper heat during immersion, the meridians are able to penetrate well, causing the effect of squeaking against the high heat. Compared to moxibustion, there is a fundamental difference in the fact that the warmth makes the game better through warm action and avoids the severe burning sensation that the moxa rod burns. Temperature needles are wind, cold, and west. It can be applied to all diseases that come from moist and hua, such as horse mackerel, articular vulgaris, yuju santong, and meridians. It can be applied almost to chronic diseases belonging to Yin-Hu.

However, there is a hassle to prepare a separate moxa bar when attaching to the top of the needle and burn the moxa bar in the conventional herbal treatment. In addition, the smoker may feel a great deal of discomfort due to the smoke or odor generated by burning. In addition, the heat transmitted through the needle can not be easily controlled as the moxibustion rod burns, so if the length of the needle is short, the subject can get burned or burned by rapid heat transfer. It is rarely delivered and has a problem that the therapeutic effect is insufficient.

1 is an exemplary view showing a herbal warm needle used in conventional herbal medicine and a method of treating the same.

Conventional warm needle used in traditional herbal medicine is the heat generated by attaching the moxibustion rod 120 on the top of the needle 110 and then burning it to the menstrual blood through the needle 110, which is a metallic material, Along with thermal stimulation, it is a combination of acupuncture and stimulation. Thus, in order to implement the function of the hot needle must be equipped with the moxibustion rod 120, there is a hassle to burn the moxibustion rod 120. In addition, the smoke generated by burning the moxibustion rod 120 may cause odor, dizziness, nausea, etc. to the subject, and may cause a headache when such a phenomenon persists.

In addition, when looking at the temperature of the needle 110 due to the heat generated when the moxibustion rod 120 burns, if the length of the needle 110 is long, the temperature is high at the upper end of the needle 110 close to the moxibustion rod 120, but the needle 110 The lower end of the) has a problem that there is little thermal stimulation in menstrual blood after the actual hour since the temperature is low due to insufficient heat transfer. In order to compensate for this problem, when the needle 110 having a relatively short length is used, temperature control of the top and bottom of the needle 110 is not performed, and as a result, the entire temperature of the needle 110 causes skin damage of 43 degrees Celsius or more. This may cause the subject to complain of pain or to cause thermal damage or burns of the epidermis.

As a method for solving such a phenomenon, there is a method of controlling temperature by coating alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) or zirconia (ZrO 2 ), which are bioinactive materials, on the surface of the needle 110 in order to insulate the thermal needle. However, there is still a part to be improved, such as manufacturing hassle to coat the material on the surface of the needle 110, that the thickness of the coating should be adjusted, and roughness of the surface of the needle 110 appearing after coating.

Moxa rods 120 in each part of the needle 110 as a method for solving the non-uniformity of the temperature distribution along the length of the needle 110, the hassle of mounting the moxibustion rod 120 and the various problems caused by burning the moxibustion rod 120 There are several techniques that can be used to control the temperature without burning. For example, there is a case in which a separate mouthpiece for catching the needle 110 is provided, and heat generated by the hysteresis loss of the magnetic material is used as a warm needle. There is also a method using induction heating using dielectric polarization generated by applying an electric field across the dielectric material. However, these methods require a separate apparatus and a complicated device for heating the saliva 110, and it takes several minutes to several tens of minutes to heat the saliva 110, and after dipping the saliva 110 from outside the skin. Since it takes a way to transfer the heat to the bottom of the needle 110 by heating it has a source problem that it is difficult to control the temperature desired by the operator in the menstrual blood.

On the other hand, laser needles, which are of increasing interest in Korean medicine recently, are one of phototherapy for treating diseases by stimulating meridians and smoothing the flow of blood and blood using light-based devices or devices. Most laser needles developed to date are non-invasive methods that directly irradiate laser beams on the surface of the skin. They are free of pain and bleeding and exclude physical metal needles. It has the great advantage of providing both comfort and comfort. For this reason, the trend of introducing acupuncture device and treatment method using low power laser in Korea is being used a lot, but the report that proves the effect is still insufficient. The reason is that compared to the invasive procedure using acupuncture, the laser needle is not easily transmitted to the menstrual blood below the epidermal layer because most of the laser energy irradiated to the menstrual blood is lost in the form of reflection and scattering in the epidermis. Because.

Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide an herbal warmer that can solve the disadvantage of the cumbersome rod mounting, various problems arising from burning the molten bar, the temperature control is impossible in the conventional herbal warmer.

And the 2nd object of this invention is to provide the manufacturing method which manufactures the said herbal warm needles.

According to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the first object of the present invention, the oriental medicine needle includes an optical fiber and a hollow needle including the optical fiber therein, and at the end of the optical fiber, Light is emitted in the longitudinal direction of the hollow needle.

The end of the hollow needle is blocked, and the light emitted from the end of the optical fiber can raise the temperature of the end of the hollow needle.

The temperature of the end of the hollow needle may be adjusted based on the light output from a light source connected to the other end of the optical fiber.

The herbal warm needle may further include first fixing means for fixing the optical fiber to the optical fiber insertion portion of the hollow needle.

The first fixing means may be a harmless polymer adhesive.

The herbal warm needle may further include a second fixing means additionally attached to the first fixing means portion.

The second fixing means may be a shrink tube.

According to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving a second object of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing an oriental medicine needle by inserting an optical fiber into a hollow needle and fixing the optical fiber by using a fixing means. It includes the step of fixing to the hollow needle.

According to the invasive needle and the manufacturing method as described above, light such as a low-power laser, which is a light source for light therapy, through an optical transmission optical fiber inserted into a hollow needle having the same outer diameter as the traditional herbal needle but empty inside By transmitting the light from the end of the optical fiber (조사), not only has a warming effect without a moxibustion rod, but also fine control to the temperature delivered to the menstrual blood after immersion regardless of the length of the needle.

And it can be easily manufactured by inserting the optical fiber without a special optical alignment process inside the hollow needle for invasive medical procedures can be produced at low cost.

In addition, unlike the traditional herbal warm needle, the other part of the warm needle can be controlled by the operator only at the end of the hot needle while maintaining a constant temperature, thereby eliminating the inefficiency of heat generation or loss at the top or stop of the warm needle, It can efficiently provide thermal stimulation to the acupuncture points where the warm needle end is located, and can fundamentally eliminate the burn / burn concerns of the subject's skin.

Furthermore, the operator can raise or lower the temperature of the end of the needle to the desired temperature within a few tens of seconds, so it is convenient to treat at the desired temperature after immersion in the subject, and there is almost no change in temperature during the procedure at the specified temperature, so that the effect of stable thermal treatment is effective. Can be maximized.

Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the herbal warm needle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the herbal warm needle 200 includes an optical fiber 210 and a hollow needle 220. The herbal warm needle 200 is a low-power laser transmitted from the light source when the optical fiber 210 is inserted into the hollow needle 220, and the hollow needle 220 including the optical fiber 210 is tacked by an invasive procedure Light, etc., is emitted from the end 211 of the optical fiber 210 to generate heat at the end 222 of the hollow needle 220.

The optical fiber 210 includes a core (not shown) and a cladding (not shown), and the core is uniformly wrapped with a cladding. The core is made of a material with high refractive index, and the cladding is made of a material with low refractive index. The optical fiber 210 may be manufactured by using total reflection occurring at the reflection portion of the core and the cladding, or may be manufactured so that light emitted from the center is deflected to be gradually curved to the center and thus total internal reflection appears to occur.

No special processing is required for the end 211 of the optical fiber 210. However, light scattering may be reduced by removing and cleaning foreign substances in the end surface of the terminal 211.

The hollow needle 220 is a needle in which a cavity is formed in the direction of its central axis so that the optical fiber 210 can be inserted therein, and unlike the conventional hollow needle used for biopsy, the terminal 222 is blocked. It may be in the form.

The outer diameter of the hollow needle 220 will be generally the same as the outer diameter of the conventional herbal needle, but is not limited so long as the outer diameter within the range that the human body can accommodate and invasive treatment in terms of treatment effects, pain and the like. .

The hollow needle 220 includes an optical fiber 210 for transmitting the light generated from the light source therein, the light generated from the light source is introduced into the optical fiber 210 through the other end of the optical fiber 210, the optical fiber 210 When light is emitted from the end of the terminal 211, heat is generated at the end 222 of the hollow needle 220, which is a metal material, and this heat has a thermal effect on the menstrual blood.

The process of inserting the optical fiber 210 into the hollow needle 220 may be performed by a simple insertion process in the manufacturing process, since the optical alignment process required for manufacturing or performing a laser needle or the like is not required. Can be shortened.

The optical fiber 210 may be fixed to the hollow needle 220 so as not to be moved or moved from the hollow needle 220 by using the first fixing means 230. The optical fiber 210 uses a harmless adhesive to the human body, specifically, a polymer adhesive including at least one component of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Polypropyleneglycol (PPG), Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyacrylate, and Parylene. Thus, the optical fiber 210 may be fixed to the optical fiber insertion portion 223 inserted into the hollow needle 220. Alternatively, the optical fiber 210 may be fixed to the optical fiber inserting portion 223 using an epoxy adhesive. The first fixing means 230 is not limited to the above-described materials, it is also possible to use a material harmless to the human body.

The optical fiber 210 may be fixed to the hollow needle 220 so as not to be separated or moved from the hollow needle 220 by additionally using the second fixing means 240 in addition to the first fixing means 230. For example, after fixing the optical fiber 210 and the hollow needle 220 with the first fixing means 230, the portion of the first fixing means 230, that is, the connection portion of the optical fiber 210 and the hollow needle 220 Secondary fixing can be done with a material such as a shrink tube to prevent breaks or breaks. The second fixing means 240 is not limited to the above-mentioned materials, and any material capable of fixing the optical fiber 210 and the hollow needle 220 may be used.

Figure 3 is an exemplary view showing a herbal warm needle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, an example of the herbal warm needle 200 used in connection with a light therapy light source is shown. As described with reference to FIG. 2, the optical fiber 210 is inserted to the end 211 of the hollow needle 220, and the light is irradiated from the end 211 of the optical fiber 210 to terminate the hollow needle 220. Since heat is generated only at 221, almost no heat is generated at the optical fiber inserting portion 223 or the middle part (not shown), which is fundamentally a concern of a thermal injury or burn of the subject that may appear during the warming treatment using the moxibustion rod 120. To be removed. In addition, the heat by light irradiation has a direct effect on the menstrual blood, thereby maximizing the effect of hot needles.

Figure 4 is a graph showing the temperature characteristics of each part with time during the traditional herbal warm needle procedure.

A temperature sensor was attached to the top (Ch. A), the middle (Ch. B), and the bottom (Ch. C) of the conventional traditional herbal needle 110, respectively, to measure the temperature when the moxibustion rod 120 was burned. The length of the traditional needle 110 used for temperature measurement is 3 cm. The time it takes for the steaming rod 120 attached to the top of the needle 110 to completely burn is about 750 seconds, and this time may vary depending on the size or amount of the steaming rod 120.

Referring to FIG. 4, the temperature of the upper end (Ch. A) of the conventional herbal needle 110 rises to about 60 degrees Celsius as the moxibustion rod 120 burns, but the conventional herbal needle 110 stops (Ch. At B) it is almost room temperature (26-27 degrees Celsius) and the temperature at the bottom (Ch. C) is comparable or lower than the break (Ch. B). In addition, the time it takes for the temperature to rise to 60 degrees Celsius even in the upper end (Ch. A) of the conventional herbal needle 110 is about 400 seconds after igniting the moxibustion rod 120 and does not maintain 60 degrees Celsius soon You can see the fall. As such, in the case of using the conventional traditional herbal needle 110, the heat transmitted to the menstrual blood of the actual subject after immersion is very insignificant, and there is little effect of the warm needle, and it is difficult for the operator to control the desired temperature.

Figure 5 is a graph showing the temperature characteristics of each part with time during the herbal warm needle procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Temperature when the laser light is irradiated by attaching a temperature sensor to the upper end (Ch. A), the middle end (Ch. B), and the lower end (Ch. C) of the herbal warm needle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Was measured in the same manner as described with reference to FIG. 4. The length of the herbal warm needle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention used for temperature measurement is 3 cm, which is the same as the conventional herbal warm needle 100 described with reference to FIG. 4.

Referring to Figure 5, the temperature characteristics of the herbal warm needle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be seen that there is a significant difference from the temperature characteristics of the conventional traditional herbal needle 110 described with reference to FIG. have.

Unlike the conventional herbal needle 110, the temperature of the upper end (Ch. A) and the center (Ch. B) of the herbal needle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention maintains almost room temperature, the lower end (Ch Only in C) can we see the temperature rise to nearly 60 degrees Celsius. This is because, as described above, in the hollow needle 220 into which the optical fiber 210 is inserted, laser light, which is a factor of temperature rise, is transmitted through the optical fiber 210 and irradiated to the end 222 of the hollow needle 220. .

In addition, another feature that the herbal warm needle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is differentiated from the conventional herbal needle 110 is a temperature rise or temperature fall time. As described above, when the conventional herbal needle 110 is used, the time taken for the temperature to rise to 60 degrees Celsius is about 400 seconds, but the laser light-based herbal needle 200 is about 30 seconds to rise in temperature very quickly. And, it can be seen that the temperature drops sharply when the laser light is blocked. This allows the operator to perform temperature control after immersion in the operator to a certain temperature and then to switch to a different temperature, it is possible to control the temperature impossible with the conventional herbal needle 110. And even though the light continues to be irradiated, the maximum temperature of the corresponding output is determined, so that the temperature can be kept constant instead of continuously increasing over time, so that the operator can perform a stable warming procedure for acupuncture points.

Figure 6 is a graph showing the temperature characteristics according to the laser output measured at the end of the herbal warm needle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 6, it can be seen the temperature characteristics according to the laser output measured at the end of the herbal warm needle according to an embodiment of the present invention. As the laser power is increased, it can be seen that the maximum temperature of the lower ends (Ch. C, 222) of the herbal warm needle 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention increases linearly. The critical temperature at which the skin burns or burns is about 43 degrees Celsius, with a corresponding laser power of about 50 mW. Since there are many products that have a power of 50 mW in the case of a semiconductor laser currently on the market, when connecting the oriental medicine needle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention to a laser treatment device that adjusts the maximum power to less than 50 mW or less In addition, it can be seen that it is possible to perform herbal treatments to prevent skin burns or burns, and at the same time maximize the phototherapy-based treatment effect.

Figure 7 is a flow chart for explaining a method of manufacturing a herbal warm needle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the method of manufacturing an invasive needle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an optical fiber hollow needle internal insertion step S310 and an optical fiber hollow needle fixing step S320.

The fixing step of the optical fiber hollow needle (S320) includes fixing the optical fiber to the hollow needle using the first fixing means 230, and additionally fixing the optical fiber to the hollow needle using the second fixing means 240. It may include.

Since the optical fiber hollow needle internal insertion step (S310) and the optical fiber hollow needle fixing step (S320) may be understood similarly as described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6 in the oriental medicine needle according to the embodiment of the present invention, Omit.

Although described with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. Could be.
