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.

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.

A method of acupuncture needle packaging includes inserting an acupuncture needle body of an acupuncture needle including an acupuncture needle handle at an upper portion thereof into an acupuncture needle tube starting from the acupuncture needle handle; disposing the acupuncture needle in the acupuncture needle tube in a state in which the upper portion of the acupuncture needle handle is exposed to an exterior of the acupuncture needle tube; ascending the upper portion of the acupuncture needle handle exposed to the exterior using a pressing jig; irradiating a laser to an area where the acupuncture needle tube and the acupuncture needle handle abut each other; and coupling the acupuncture needle handle and the acupuncture needle tube by thermally deforming the area where the acupuncture needle tube and the acupuncture needle handle abut each other with a heat generated by the laser.

The present invention relates to a negative pressure device, including: 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 includes 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.

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.

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.

A device that uses an anatomic landmark or fiduciary point to establish a point of origin for device orientation in space is provided. The device controls the direction and depth of delivery of a needle, wire, trocar or cannula utilized for diagnostic or therapeutic intervention. The device guides the percutaneous delivery of a needle, wire, trocar or cannula to a target spatial location on or within tissue.

This disclosure describes an device for dispensing an acupuncture needle. The device comprises a thrust, a coupling mechanism coupled to the thrust, a biasing mechanism adapted to bias the thrust towards an initial position, a housing, and a conduit. The housing comprises a first cavity portion adapted to receive the thrust, the coupling mechanism and the biasing mechanism, and a second cavity portion in fluid communication with the first cavity portion. The second cavity portion has a smaller cross-sectional area than the first cavity portion, and the thrust is received in the first cavity portion. The conduit is adapted to guide an acupuncture needle toward the coupling mechanism disposed within the housing. This disclosure further describes a method of using said device for inserting an acupuncture needle into the dermis of a subject.

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.
