Abstract:
To address the common clinical problems associated with warm needling moxibustion, such as burns, bending of needle handles, and the inability to perform moxibustion during oblique needling, an adjustable warm needling moxibustion device is designed and has been granted a national patent. This device consists of five components: a moxa cylinder, an adjustable arm, a supporting tube, a temperature alarm, and a fixing strap. It allows infrared heat radiation from the moxa to pass through while blocking falling ash, thereby ensuring therapeutic efficacy and preventing burns. The device accommodates both perpendicular and oblique needling angles and adapts to various body positions, effectively avoiding deformation of the needle handle. It is easy to operate and offers high safety.
