A system and method to remind acupuncturists to remove all needles from patients after acupuncture treatments. The system includes: a container for acupuncture needles, with at least three divided compartments: a first compartment for new acupuncture needle packages; a second compartment for used acupuncture needles; a third compartment for needle packaging materials; and an electronic weighing device to weigh the container with or without load. The method includes: loading enough new needle packages in the container; measuring the weight of the container and its load and displaying the total weight; automatic detection and warning of overload; automatic detecting whether the reset key has been pressed before acupuncture treatment; when the reset key is pressed, recording the current load value as the baseline weight and setting the relative reading to zero and displaying it on a screen; continuing to measure the weight of the container and its load; if the reading varies, determining whether the change of reading is caused by system drift or by the actual change of load; if the change of the readings is caused by system drift, automatically cancelling the drift value; displaying the difference between the measured weight and the reset baseline value on the display screen; based on the difference, reminding the acupuncturist to remove all the acupuncture needles from patients after the treatment before discharging the patient. The present invention solves the problem of leaving needles on the patient's body or on treatment tables, which often happens in the current practice of acupuncture and could lead to malpractice lawsuit.

The present invention relates to a type of medical instrument, in particular a fifth generation FSN needle, being a special tool for Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN), comprising a needle handle, a needle core, a soft casing pipe and its handle, and a protective sleeve. The needle core is fixed on top part of the needle handle and consists of a needle core body and a needle core tip. On top part of the needle handle, a round-hole-type groove is provided. On this groove, a positioning notch is provided, including first longitudinal position point, and inlet and second longitudinal position point at two sides of the first longitudinal position point. The soft casing pipe handle is a round tube that can be inserted into said groove. On the soft casing pipe handle, a first bulge and second bulges are provided: the first bulge is used to fix the soft casing pipe and its handle; the second bulges are used to prompt sweep position.

Acupuncture needles may be used for piercing tissue with less trauma than may occur when employing larger gauge needles. However, because acupuncture needles are fabricated and packaged differently than are larger gauge needles, acupuncture needles may be less compatible with certain manufacturing processes. Needle assemblies compatible with manufacturing processes may comprise a continuous support material having a plurality of apertures defined therein, and a first injection molded coupler that surrounds a proximal portion of an acupuncture needle and connects the acupuncture needle to a first location upon the continuous support material, such that the acupuncture needle is held in a pre-determined orientation with respect to a longitudinal axis of the first injection molded coupler. The acupuncture needles in adjacent apertures may also be spaced apart substantially uniformly.

The disclosure is directed to a massage chair having a massage chair frame, a massage system, and a noise-reducing, enclosure device. The massage chair frame includes a first end, a second end, a seat body area portion, and a back body area portion. The massage system includes at least one air massage element, an air pump, and at least one air valve device for regulating air flow into and out of the at least one air massage element. The noise-reducing, enclosure device includes an enclosure housing and noise-reducing material positioned inside the enclosure housing. The enclosure housing encloses the air pump and the plurality of air valve devices during operation during operation such that noise generated from or made by the air pump and the plurality of air valve devices during operation is reduced, contained or eliminated. Additionally, the disclosure provides additional features for improving user experience including hammering devices, heating acupuncture devices, oxygen generation, voice recognition control, a remote control pouch, and a wireless device pouch having wireless charging functionality.

A device including an object with a pointed, sharp or heating tip, which is biocompatible and which includes at least one ferromagnetic material, a magnetic field generator suitable for directing the magnetic field of the ferromagnetic material in order to produce an increase in the temperature in the heating tip of the object, and a device for controlling the temperature of the heating tip of the object. Also, the cosmetic use of the device in the treatment of fine lines, dark circles and superficial cellulite. Finally, the use of the device in the treatment of varicose veins and/or in the treatment of syndromes connected to spondylalgia clinical settings and pain connected to these various clinical settings, in particular lumbago or chronic neck pain and their projected pain.

PROTECTED NEEDLE WITH HIGH ULTRASOUND VISIBILITY FOR PERFORMING ULTRASOUND-GUIDED PERCUTANEOUS ELECTROLYSIS OR NEUROMODULATION TECHNIQUES, consisting of a dry puncture or acupuncture needle formed by a conductive metallic grip (2), coupled to the handle that connects it to the device that generates the electric current to be applied, and a body (3), also conductive and metallic, in the form of a cylindrical, thin and long rod, of variable length among 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 100 mm, with the blunt tip (4), where the body (3), and preferably also the grip (2), are both made of galvanized steel with high ultrasound visibility and in that, in addition, said body (3) is provided with a biocompatible electrically insulating protection layer (5) such as a Teflon coating, which covers practically its entire length, except for a working segment (6) of variable length (l) before the blunt tip (4).

An automatic acupuncture device includes: a case; a motor or an electromagnet; a needle driver, configured to move linearly under the force of the motor or electromagnet to drive an acupuncture needle in a needle gadget into a human body, the needle gadget comprising a needle tube and an acupuncture needle inside the needle tube; a needle gadget chamber configured to house the needle gadget; and a locking-releasing structure that is configured to lock the needle gadget so that it will not fall out of the needle gadget chamber during acupuncture treatment, and also configured to release the needle gadget from the needle gadget chamber after acupuncture treatment. A needle gadget is provided for use with the acupuncture device, so that the acupuncture needle will not be exposed in air outside the needle tube before or after acupuncture. The acupuncture process is automatic, safe, without complicated manual operation.
