RU26402U1 - GOLDEN NEEDLE FOR INTRODUCTION TO AN EXTERNAL SINK WITH A CLAMP AND A DEVICE FOR ITS FIXATION - Google Patents

Description

The utility model relates to medicine, namely to devices used in auriculotherapy.

Exposure to the auricle with acupuncture for the treatment of various diseases has been known since ancient times. The basis of auriculotherapy is the presence in the region of the auricle of certain points and zones, which are projections of internal organs and body parts, the reflex effects of which have a therapeutic effect in a number of diseases.

As an analogue of the needle for insertion into the auricle, the authors propose a special needle such as a short spiral (button) with its fixation with an adhesive plaster. // Tykochinskaya E.D. "Basics of reflexology, M.," Medicine, 1979, p.20 //.

If it is necessary to leave the needle for a long time in the depth of the tissue for a period of 24 to 72 hours or more, use special T-shaped needles of various lengths, proposed by the authors as a prototype of the claimed utility model. The core of such a needle is inserted into the fabric to a certain depth, a gauze is placed under both sides of the needle handle and a napkin, and the handle is fixed to the skin using adhesive tape. // Tykochinskaya E.D. "Basics of reflexology, M.," Medicine, 1979, pp. 20-24 //.

Due to the fact that the needles must have flexibility, elasticity and anticorrosion, alloys are usually used for their manufacture: gold, silver and copper for gold needles, silver and copper for silver. However, the needles proposed for use in auriculotherapy, in the opinion of the authors, have some drawbacks.

the need for constant medical supervision, the possibility of arbitrary prolapse of the needle, the appearance of maceration of the skin under an adhesive plaster, the likelihood of inflammation, etc.

In order to eliminate such shortcomings, the authors propose a needle for auriculotherapy with a clamp and a device for fixing the clamp on the needle.

The needle (Fig. 1) is made of a conventional alloy used for the manufacture of gold needles, consisting of 75% gold, 13% silver and 12% copper and is a rod (1) 10 mm long, 0.6 mm in diameter, the upper end of which ends with a small round loop (2). The needle shaft is smooth, uniform in diameter over the entire length of the needle. The tip of the needle is blunt. The needle is inserted into the center of the selected point (entry point) and to fix it in the auricle (exit point) is fixed with a clamp (3), worn from the blunt tip of the needle to a depth of 1 mm. The clamp is a washer 1.5 mm high of the same alloy, 2 mm in diameter with a through hole in the center (4), corresponding to the diameter of the needle shaft - 0.6 mm.

Due to the small size of the clamp and the inconvenience for placing it and fixing it on the needle with your fingers, the authors propose a device for fixing the clamp on the tip of the needle.

The device (5) is a metal cylinder with a height of 20 mm and a diameter of 8 mm; in the upper part of the cylinder, two recesses (6) were made along the side surfaces for the thumb and forefinger with a depth of 2 mm and a height of 10 mm. In the center of the proximal end of the cylinder there is one hole 2.5 mm deep, with a diameter of 1.5 mm for 2.1 mm (7) and 0.8 mm for a length of 1.5 to 2.5 mm (8). The needle clip is placed in the cylinder bore and put on the tip of the needle located in the auricle.

Thus, the needle is fixed in the auricle at the entry point with a loop-shaped handle, and at the exit point with a clip, without the need for adhesive plaster.

The advantage of the proposed needle with a clamp is the possibility of leaving it in the auricle for a long period (from 30 days to 6 months), which is necessary, for example, to correct excess body weight, the needle does not require constant medical supervision, there is no likelihood of its spontaneous removal by the patient, there are no phenomena of maceration of the skin under the adhesive plaster and inflammation.
