Device, system, and method for dry needling comprising a device having a surface area configured to surround a location on a user, one or more openings in the surface area, each opening supporting a directional needle guide configured to allow a needle to pass therethrough to the location on the user; and one or more needles configured to fit within each directional needle guide

A needle assembly includes a needle with the needle having a handle at a proximal end portion thereof. The assembly also includes a guide tube sized to house the needle and handle, with the guide tube including an inwardly-extending projection adjacent a proximal end thereof. The inwardly-extending projection is configured to engage an engagement portion of the handle for retaining the needle within the guide tube such that a distal tip of the needle is positioned within the guide tube and a proximal end portion of the handle extends from the proximal end of the guide tube. The engagement being releasable upon a force applied to the proximal end portion of the handle to extend the distal tip of the needle out of the guide tube.

A method for distracting an individual from a treatment event comprises providing a distraction tool; positioning the distraction tool at a contact location on an individual, the contact location being substantially adjacent a location of a treatment event; activating an oscillation device to induce vibrations in the distraction tool; and subsequently initiating the treatment event at the treatment event location. The distraction tool comprises a stimulation apparatus comprising a housing and a plurality of projections extending from the housing. The oscillation device is in communication with the distraction tool to induce vibrations specifically in the stimulation apparatus. Activating the oscillation device to induce vibrations causes the plurality of projections to oscillate against the individual at the contact location, thereby shifting attention from the treatment event to the vibrations, wherein the shift in attention causes the individual to discount pain caused by the treatment event.

This implantation device includes: a set of separable implants, a guide member defining a passage for guiding the set of implants in translation towards the outlet orifice, a transmission member for transmitting a pushing force in order to move the set of implants towards an outlet, the transmission member having several successive projections, and a pushing member to allow the practitioner to generate the pushing force. The pushing member includes a bearing part configured to bear against several of the projections during successive movements of the pushing member, the bearing part having in succession a bearing position and a clearing position, and a unidirectional stop element connected to the guide member and configured to have in succession i) a configuration of clearance by a projection and ii) a stop configuration so as to immobilize the transmission member in the inverse direction of the translation towards the outlet.

The present invention relates to a type of medical instrument, in particular a type of acupuncture needle used for Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN), comprising a needle handle, a needle body, and a protecting sheath, wherein the needle handle and the needle body are integrated to an integral part. The needle body is suitable for FSN, has reduced elasticity, and facilitates the sweeping movement. The needle handle adopts the design of hollow structure, made of hard plastic to facilitate manufacture, save manufacture materials, and facilitate grasp for operation. The cross section of the middle part of the needle handle is a polygon to improve stability of placing of the floating needle. Top part of the protecting sheath can be inserted into the needle handle and its tail part is round, to allow longer arm of force and better sweep when used by a doctor with large hands. This instrument features simple process, easy manufacture and storage, easy use, high safety, and good sanitation.

A wireless identification needle includes an acupuncture needle and an electronic tag. The acupuncture needle includes a needle body, a needle tip provided at a front end of the needle body, and a needle handle provided at a rear end of the needle body. The electronic tag includes a substrate directly or indirectly connected with the needle handle, an antenna disposed with the substrate, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip electrically connected with two ends of the antenna. As a result, the wireless identification needle has a table structure, a reduced metal interference, and a long-distance identification capability.

An efficient spontaneous electrochemical current interacting press needle that relates to an acupuncture press needle of traditional Chinese medicine is provided. The efficient spontaneous electrochemical current interacting press needle includes a press needle and a conductive medical tape that fixes the press needle and attaches other press needles. The conductive medical tape includes a conductive adhesive and a gummed cloth. The press needle is adapted to be fixed on the conductive medical tape that fixes the press needle and attaches other press needles. In addition, a connecting conductive medical tape and/or an external conductor connecting point that is capable of attaching two or more press needles is also provided.

Disclosed is a multi-functional electro-spoon needle therapeutic apparatus, which includes a top cover, locating pieces, a fixed lid, a rear cover, electro-spoon needles and an adjustment mechanism, wherein the locating pieces are respectively mounted on the top cover and the rear cover, and each locating piece is provided with a long groove; the fixed lid is respectively fixed on the top cover and the rear cover so as to respectively hold the locating pieces between the top cover and the fixed lid and between the rear cover and the fixed lid; the rear cover is arranged behind the top cover and connected to the top cover via the adjustment mechanism; and the electro-spoon needles are mounted in the long grooves of the locating pieces and can move along the long grooves. The apparatus has a simple structure, so a patient can perform acupuncture by himself.

The present invention relates to a negative pressure device, comprising: a hollow needle assembly including: a hollow needle adaptor, the hollow needle adaptor has an axial through hole, a proximal connector, a distal connector and a flange between the proximal connector and the distal connector, and at least one hollow needle, each of the at least one hollow needle has a tip and an axial through hole and is in fluid communication with the proximal connector of the hollow needle adaptor; a host machine, the host machine comprises a control module and a vacuum pump; and an exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe is in fluid communication with the host machine and the distal connector of the hollow needle adaptor.

A handheld device and method for self dry needling using the device comprising a dry needle outlet end; a needle priming cavity aligned with an outlet of the needle outlet end and configured to receive a dry needle therein for dispensing; a needle ejection mechanism comprising a driver configured to eject the dry needle from the needle priming cavity through the needle outlet upon actuation of the needle ejection mechanism; and a needle storage cavity configured to hold one or more additional dry needles comprising a needle loading mechanism configured to transfer one or more needles from the storage cavity to the needle priming cavity upon actuation of the needle loading mechanism.
