TYPE OF ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLE USED FOR FSN

Abstract

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.

Claims

1. A type of acupuncture needle used for FSN, comprising a needle handle, a needle body, and a protecting sheath, wherein said needle handle and the needle body are integrated to an integral part, said needle handle is far thicker than handle of traditional acupuncture needle, and said needle body is relatively thick and has good rigidity.

2. The acupuncture needle used for FSN of claim 1, wherein said needle handle is square to facilitate grasp and avoid rolling.

3. The acupuncture needle used for FSN of claim 1, wherein said needle handle has a hollow structure, polygon cross section of its middle part, and is made of hard plastic.

4. The acupuncture needle used for FSN of claim 1, wherein top part of said protecting sheath matches the hollow structure of said needle handle, tail part of said protecting sheath is round, and top part of said protecting sheath can be inserted into said needle handle for use.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0015] The following describes this invention in details in combination with the drawing figures and a preferred embodiment.

[0016] Example: a type of acupuncture needle used for 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 handle adopts the design of round hollow structure, made of hard medical plastic to facilitate manufacture, save manufacture materials, and prevent bending of floating needle during storage. The cross section of the middle part of the needle handle is a rectangle to prevent continuous rolling of the floating needle.

[0017] Select two opposed faces of the needle handle and set them concave, with embossed pattern on one of them to increase friction and facilitate holding by hand. For example, the pattern may be F.A.S.T. shown in FIG. 1-3. For use, insert top part of the protecting sheath into the round hollow structure of the needle handle to facilitate twirling and lifting of the needle by doctor.

[0018] Such design ensures small space occupied by the floating needle during storage and sufficient length for use, facilitating sweep.
