Design and application of pottery frame for warm acupuncture moxibustion

目的:研制一种适用于温针灸疗法治疗各种疾病时所需的温针灸架,以提高工作效率,增强治疗效果。方法:该温针灸架采用陶泥为材料制成,主要由储艾台、把手、底座、支撑架组成。储艾台为上宽下窄的空心装置,中间为卡槽口,可将针具套嵌其中;底座为上窄下宽的空心装置,内侧壁设有通风孔,可以促使艾充分燃烧。结果:该温针灸架可避免传统温针灸疗法因艾灰火星掉落或艾柱较重压弯针柄致使距离患者皮肤较近灼伤患者的弊端,而且能够加强治疗效果,不易使患者过敏、划伤,可有效减轻患者病痛,减少医务人员的工作量。结论:陶质温针灸架结构简单、操作方便、安全有效、患者满意度高,具有较高的实用性。
