Problems solved by technology

[0002] There are currently two forms of warm acupuncture. One is the combination of acupuncture and moxibustion. The moxa strips or other medicinal materials are wrapped on the needle handles, and the heat energy burned by the moxa balls on the needle handles is transmitted to the needles in the body. The disadvantage is that the temperature is not easy to control, the stainless steel needle body is not easy to transfer heat, and it is easy to burn the skin; the other is to rely on the internal heat type silver needle heater to heat the silver needle, using the high heat conduction of silver itself The disadvantage is that the material of the silver needle is relatively soft, and it is difficult to enter the area that needs to be treated, such as soft tissues. The diameter is relatively large, the heating range is large, and it is easy to accidentally injure the normal tissues around the needle body. The process is cumbersome and the cost is too high.

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel acupuncture needle modified with a photo-thermal material. The novel acupuncture needle comprises a needle body, and the needle body comprises a needle bar, a needle handle and a needle tip, wherein the needle handle and the needle tip are separately disposed at two ends of the needle bar; and the top end of the needle handle is connected with an infrared generationdevice through a transmission optical fiber, the surface of the needle body is modified with the photo-thermal material, and the photo-thermal material is polyurethane or porous zinc oxide or gold nanorods or black phosphorus nanosheets. The novel acupuncture needle can be heated to 38.8-40.2 DEG C in 5-12 minutes, is relatively stable at the temperature, and has the dual functions of traditionalacupuncture and photo-thermal therapy.
