A portable clinical medical acupuncture storage box

< span>

Acupuncture originated in the Stone Age of China, has a long history, and is also a unique treatment method in Chinese medicine hospitals. As a medical worker in a Chinese medicine hospital, the acupuncture box is a must-have treatment storage tool, but the storage and classification of acupuncture needles has become a headache for doctors.

At present, the updated acupuncture boxes still have shortcomings such as backward storage methods, inconvenient for clinicians to use, and reducing the efficiency of acupuncture treatment for patients. At the same time, it is very easy to cause cross-infection problems during use.

traditional method

Because the acupuncture treatment originated from the folk, the traditional iron lunch box is usually a combination of sterile acupuncture needles, Kaifeng acupuncture needles, dry cotton balls, and alcohol cotton balls. For the convenience of operation, ” The “lunch box” lid becomes the destination of the used acupuncture needles and cotton balls. This method leads to the direct exposure of sterile acupuncture needles in Kaifeng to the outside, and the dry and wet cotton balls cannot achieve the classification effect. This storage method is only suitable for traveling doctors, and is far from meeting the needs of hospitals and a large number of patients. Due to the rough recovery method of acupuncture needles after use, acupuncture needle stick injuries frequently occur in medical staff. “Iron lunch box with blood” is the “pet name” of medical staff for their helplessness.

In order to solve the problem of storage of acupuncture needles in the department, Jin Xin, head nurse of the Third Department of Encephalopathy Rehabilitation, Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Nurse Cao Shuang, spent their spare time on acupuncture and moxibustion. The box has been rectified. A portable clinical medical acupuncture storage box is invented.

improved

Portable clinical medical acupuncture storage box, which includes a disposable sterile item storage box and a medical waste storage box. Two boxes with detachable link. A sterile acupuncture placement area, a sterile cotton ball placement area, and an alcohol cotton ball placement area are set in the disposable sterile item storage box. A waste acupuncture needle placement area and a waste cotton ball box placement area are set in the medical waste storage box. The rectified acupuncture storage box is more suitable for a standardized ward environment and large-scale treatment mode, which saves treatment time and protects the safety of patients and doctors in both directions. After clinical use, there is no case of acupuncture needle stick injuries, and the “Blood Iron Lunch Box” cleverly turned into a “portable protective box”
