Description

Acupotomy Assembly The present invention relates to an acupuncture needle assembly capable of easily applying acupuncture needle procedures to the human body and injecting medicinal liquid. Generally, when the body's soft tissues, such as muscles, ligaments, nerves, and tendons, suffer trauma or repeated damage, adhesions or scarring occur. Consequently, the equilibrium of these soft tissues is disrupted, acting as a cause of chronic pain. Furthermore, as age increases, pain develops due to the progression of fibrosis in soft tissues and degenerative changes in the spine and joints. Pain arises as fibrosis progresses. In this way, acupuncture procedures (therapy) have been devised and are being used to alleviate pain or restore function in damaged soft tissues by incising, peeling, or stimulating the damaged area of the soft tissue that causes the pain. In these acupuncture procedures, a needle with an attached blade—known as a "chimdo"—is used. Generally, the term "chimdo" is also referred to as a "chimdo" and is used in Korean traditional medicine to alleviate pain caused by soft tissue damage by surgically separating adhesions, incising, or cutting soft tissues. The parts of the needle blade are divided into the handle, shaft, and blade, and the tip of the blade is sharpened to a chisel-like edge. Originating from the pointed needle and needle among the Nine Needles of the Huangdi Neijing, this needle blade is capable of performing the functions of both an acupuncture needle and a scalpel simultaneously. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a needle assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 2a to 2c illustrate the needle handle portion of a needle assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 illustrates a medicinal injection hub of an acupuncture needle assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 compares the acupuncture needle and the medicinal needle in an acupuncture needle assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the end portion of a medicinal needle in an acupuncture needle assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the end of a medicinal needle in an acupuncture needle assembly according to another embodiment of the present invention.
