Title: [Design and application of a new type of long snake moxibustion box]. Author: Deng CY, Hu XW, Tang LM, Huang H, Huang P, Liu H. Journal: Zhen Ci Yan Jiu; 2022 Sep 25; 47(9):847-50. PubMed ID: 36153462. Abstract: Long snake moxibustion, a kind of indirect moxibustion therapy for stimulating the midline part of the back of the patient's body after playing a layer of ginger or garlic mud, is frequently used to treat spine disorders and deficiency-cold type syndromes. In the present paper, we introduced our newly made moxibustion box for applying long snake moxibustion which is safe and easy to operate and can be freely moved at any time in the treatment of vertebral diseases, and conveniently makes the ignited-moxa close to the locus. This newly-designed moxibustion box is made of two lines of paralleled flexible connection side plates hinged ends to ends and two U-like connection plates at the opposite two ends to construct a rectangular frame device. The hinged design makes the long snake moxibustion box conform to the physiological curvature of human body and its length can be adjusted according to the height of patients. When used in clinical practice, it can enhance the patients' safety and reduce the operator's working intensity, and may be helpful to the popularization and development of long snake moxibustion therapy. 设计一种操作安全、治疗过程中可随时移动并使长蛇灸紧贴施灸部位的新型长蛇灸灸盒。此灸盒的若干个连接板片首尾依次铰接, 构成两个平行间隔设置的柔性侧连板。采用铰链式设计, 使长蛇灸灸盒符合人体生理曲度, 可根据患者身高调节其长度。本长蛇灸灸盒结构新颖独特、简单合理、操作方便, 可以明显提高长蛇灸操作的安全性, 并减轻长蛇灸操作过程中医护人员的工作强度, 将为长蛇灸的普及和发展增加新的活力。.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
