Description

The utility model relates to medical devices primarily used to affect reflex points in the auricle (auriculotherapy).

At present, various needle designs used to treat acupuncture of various diseases are known and have found widespread application. So, from the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2286133 (1) for the invention, a needle for acupuncture is known, consisting of a rod with a head, while the second end of the rod is detachably connected to the lock in the form of a fixing nozzle (removable latch). The head of the rod can be made volumetric, lamellar or ring-shaped, and the latch can be made lamellar or volumetric, mainly in the form of a nozzle having a blind hole. The known needle provides an additional effect on the auricular acupuncture points, which enhances the resulting therapeutic effect by providing a larger area of contact of the product with the skin and weighting of the product, as well as acupressure points.

The needle for acupuncture according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 577597 (2) for a utility model in general consists of a rod with or without a head, while the entire rod or its free end can be made of a material having plastic properties (for example, an alloy having memory forms), which makes it possible to form a retainer from the bent free end of the rod in the form of a bent end wound on the rod, a coil, or at least one coil of a spiral.

The advantage of these needle designs is that they can be worn on the body or in the auricle for a sufficiently long time, which is necessary, for example, when correcting excess body weight. This possibility, unlike other known needle designs, the fixation of which on the body (or auricle) is provided by an adhesive plaster, is due to the use of a fixative in known designs made either in the form of a removable nozzle (patent (1)), or in the form of an appropriately bent the end of the needle (patent (2)), which, in turn, makes it possible to reuse the needle. However, this advantage is caused by the disadvantage of the known designs, namely the possibility of repeated use of needles and, as a consequence, the risk of infection with any infectious disease that always exists in the case of needle reuse despite all possible sterilization methods.

Taking into account the foregoing, the author of this model, realizing some possible financial losses, nevertheless, put at the forefront the task of creating such a needle, the design of which ensuring the possibility of its long wearing, would nevertheless be disposable. Another problem that was solved when creating the claimed needle was to ensure the reliability of fixing the needle on the body - indeed, the presence of a removable clamp (see patent (1)) determines the likelihood of wear of the fasteners as a result of wearing the needle and, as a result, the likelihood of involuntary detachment of the clamp and its loss, which, obviously, entails practical difficulties in the form of, for example, an unplanned visit to a doctor to re-install the latch.

Thus, the technical result achieved by the creation of the claimed model consists in increasing the practicality of the needle design in terms of eliminating the possibility of transmission of any infectious diseases, as well as in increasing the reliability of attaching the needle to body parts when worn.

To achieve the set result, it is proposed in the known needle for acupuncture, consisting of a rod with a latch on it, where the rod is made with an eyelet at one end and with a sharpness serving to puncture soft tissues - at the other, to carry out part of the rod between the fixative and the pointed end with the possibility of flattening, which allows you to securely fix the latch on the rod, and remove it only when the rod is destroyed.

Particular embodiments of the claimed design provide for the implementation of the eyelet in the form of a round loop, and the latch is cylindrical, with a blind end bore with a diameter larger than the diameter of the cylindrical hole.

The claimed model is illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, where in Figs. 1-4, the installation process of the latch on the needle shaft is shown in stages, and in FIG. 5 is a general view of the latch.

In general terms, the claimed needle for acupuncture consists of a rod with an eye in the form, for example, of a round loop at one end and a free end with a sharpening used to puncture soft tissues on the other. The design of the needle also contains a retainer, for example a cylindrical one, with a through hole serving to thread the rod, and a blind end bore with a diameter larger than the diameter of the cylindrical hole. The purpose of the specified boring will be described below. The need for a retainer is due to the fact that it is put on the free end of the needle after piercing two auricular points of the auricle and fixed in the sequence described below. After fixing the clamp, it is not possible to remove it without destroying the needle.

The process of setting the needle and fixing the retainer in general is as follows:

a needle piercing one auricular point, holding it under the skin and withdrawing through another point;

putting on the free pointed end of the clamp needle (as indicated in FIG. 1), wherein the end bore of the clamp is on the side of the pointed end of the needle;

fixing the retainer by flattening with a special plier the part of the rod between the retainer and the pointed end of the needle (figure 2);

subsequent biting off with the nippers of the pointed part of the needle (see FIG. 3) and

installation of the latch by its slight interference on the flattened end - see figure 4.

Obviously, after all the above operations, the removal of the needle is possible only after the destruction of its core by biting at the base of the eye or retainer.

This method of attachment is reliable and does not allow the needle to spontaneously take off, which is very important during prolonged wear.
