1, the stick-on therapeutic needle attachment device 21 will be exposed to the outside air and the sterile state will be broken.Therefore, there is a risk that bacteria floating in the air will adhere to the therapeutic needle 13, and the treatment will be interrupted. There was a drawback that acupuncture treatment could not be performed hygienically using the needle 13.

In addition, since Conventional Example 2 has a treatment needle on one side of the device body and a gas permeable sheet on the other side, processing from both sides of the device body is required during manufacturing. is indispensable, which has the disadvantage of poor work efficiency and high costs.

Moreover, the device bodies of both Conventional Examples 1 and 2 cannot be separated, and therefore, the user must always carry the entire device body regardless of the number of desired therapeutic needles, which is bulky and extremely expensive. It was inconvenient.

The present invention was devised in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to ensure that the therapeutic needle is sterile until use, allowing acupuncture to be performed in an extremely hygienic manner, and to be easy to manufacture. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stick-on therapeutic needle-equipped device that can improve work efficiency, reduce costs, and is convenient to carry.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been devised to achieve the above object and also to solve the problems of the conventional technology. A top-opening device body 1 integrally formed, a gas permeable mold release sheet 6 for sterilization attached to the top surface of the device body 1 to cover each recess 3, and a mold release sheet 6 on the top surface of the mold release sheet 6. A bandage that is releasably attached to a position corresponding to the recess 3 and supports the therapeutic needle 13 so that its needle tip 16 penetrates the release sheet 6 and emerges into the recess 3 of the device main body 1. 11,
The bandage 11 is provided in a shape smaller than the opening of the recess 3, and the connection between the recesses 3 is such that the partition 1a of the device body 1 can be separated integrally with the bandage 11 and the treatment needle 13. Cuts 4 and 9 are provided at matching positions of the part 5 and the release sheet 6, respectively.

Another point is that the release sheet 6 is made of a material through which air cannot pass under atmospheric pressure.

(Function) Therefore, in the adhesive-type therapeutic needle-equipped device characterized by the above-mentioned configuration, since the plurality of recesses 3 are formed in the upper surface 2 of the device main body 1, the upper surface 2 of the device main body 1 By covering the recesses 3 with a release sheet 6, the recesses 3 are independently sealed.

Therefore, a release sheet 6 is placed on the top surface 2 of the device body 1.
By sterilizing the instrument main body 1 with the mold release sheet 6 covered with the bandage 11 with the therapeutic needle 13 attached, each recess 3 becomes a sterile room,
As a result, each treatment needle 13 emerges into the recess 3.
However, the sterile condition can be maintained until the bandage 11 is peeled off and used.

In addition, by providing the cuts 4 and 9 in the connection part 5 between the recesses 3 of the device body 1 and the release sheet 6, respectively, each recess 3 can be separated from the bandage 11 and the treatment needle 13 as needed. Depending on the number of therapeutic needles 13, the compartment 1a can be separated from the instrument main body 1 and used.

Furthermore, since the release sheet 6 is made of a material that does not allow air to pass through under atmospheric pressure, even if the device main body 1 is taken out of its packaging and exposed to the outside, external air is prevented from entering the recess 3. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent bacteria and the like floating in the air from adhering to the treatment needle 13 in the recess 3.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 1, 1 is three pieces in the vertical direction on the top surface 2,

The bandage 11 and the therapeutic needle 13 constitute a bandage with a therapeutic needle 17 as shown in FIG. 3.

The adhesive type therapeutic needle-equipped device 18 of this embodiment has the above-described configuration.
The case where 8 is used will be explained.

First, to explain the case of sterilizing the stick-on therapeutic needle-equipped device 18, first, the stick-on therapeutic needle-equipped device 18 as shown in FIG. 4 is placed in a sterilization room (not shown).
After the sterilization chamber is depressurized, sterilizing ethylene gas is injected into the chamber under pressure. At this time, the ethylene gas passes through the part of the release sheet 6 other than the part to which the bandage 11 is attached, is injected into the recess 3 of the device body 1, and is injected into the recess 3 and into the treatment needle. Sterilize the needle tip 16 of 13....

Next, by reducing the pressure in the sterilization chamber, the ethylene gas is exhausted from the recesses 3, and the ethylene gas remaining in the sterilization chamber is exhausted together with the ethylene gas to the outside of the sterilization chamber.

A device with a pasted therapeutic needle sterilized in this way 1
8 is taken out from the sterilization room, each adhesive type therapeutic needle-equipped device 18 is packaged in a plastic film package, for example, and sold at a store or the like.

To explain the case where a user who has purchased this packaged stick-on therapeutic needle-equipped device 18 performs acupuncture treatment using the stick-on therapeutic needle-attached device 18, the user first tears open the package and looks inside the package. The stick-on therapeutic needle attachment device 18 is taken out.

Next, when using one therapeutic needle 13,
As shown in FIG. 5, the device main body 1 is divided from one end side through the cut 4 of the device main body 1 and the cut 9 of the release sheet 6, one section 1a is cut off, and the remaining device main body 1 is separated. Return it to the package.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the adhesive bandage 17 with a therapeutic needle is peeled off from the divided recess 3, and the adhesive bandage 11 is applied to the skin of the body so that the therapeutic needle 13 contacts the skin at the treatment site.

As described above, acupuncture treatment is performed using the stick-on therapeutic needle-equipped device 18. In the stick-on therapeutic needle-equipped device 18 of this embodiment, there are a plurality of The recessed portion 3... is formed into sections,
In addition, since the upper surface 2 is covered with a release sheet 6, each recess 3 is in an independent sealed state. Therefore, if the inside of the recess 3 is sterilized in advance, the packaging of the device main body 1 can be easily removed. Regardless of whether it is removed from the body, the sterile state inside the recesses 3 can be maintained.

Therefore, the therapeutic needle 13 attached to the instrument body 1...
can be kept in a sterile state until the bandage 11 is removed and used.

In addition, since the release sheet 6 is made of EO paper 8 that does not allow air to pass through under atmospheric pressure, even if the device body 1 is taken out of the package and exposed to the outside, outside air will not enter the recesses 3. prevent intrusion,
Bacteria floating in the air can be reliably prevented from adhering to the treatment needles 13 in the recesses 3.

Furthermore, the connecting portions 5 between the respective recesses 3 of the instrument body 1.
Cuts 4..., 9 are made at the matching positions of the release sheet 6 and the release sheet 6, respectively.
... are engraved, each recess 3 ... of the instrument body 1 can be successively divided through the cuts 4 ..., 9 ..., so that the recesses 3 ... can be separated one by one from the instrument main body 1. By returning the remaining device main body 1 into the package, the adhesive-type therapeutic needle-equipped device 18 can be stored again in a sanitary condition.

In addition, in the present invention, the number of recesses formed on the upper surface of the instrument body is 3 in the vertical direction as in the above embodiment.
The number of pieces is not limited to eight pieces in the horizontal direction, a total of 24 pieces, but it is sufficient to have a plurality of pieces, and the arrangement is not limited to being in a line, but even if it is staggered in each row. good. Furthermore, the shape of the recess is not limited to the square plane as described above, but may also be a recess with a circular plane.

In addition, cuts are made in the connecting parts between the recesses of the device main body and in the release sheet, so that the device main body can be separated. It may be perforated in the shape of an eye.

Further, the cuts are not limited to those provided in the vertical and horizontal directions as in the above embodiment, but may be provided in multiple lines in only one direction.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the release sheet is made of EO paper that prevents air from passing under atmospheric pressure, allows ventilation during pressurized injection of ethylene gas, and allows ethylene gas to be exhausted during depressurization. However, it is not necessarily limited to this, and may simply be made of a gas-permeable material.

Further, in this embodiment, the therapeutic needle 13 is directly adhered to the adhesive surface 14 on the inner surface of the bandage 11, but the therapeutic needle 13 is bonded directly to the adhesive surface 14 on the inner surface side of the bandage 11.
3 to the inner surface of the adhesive bandage 11. In this case, the therapeutic needle 13 is more firmly and reliably adhered to the adhesive bandage 11, and careless displacement of the therapeutic needle 13 can be well prevented. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of, for example, having to re-adhere the therapeutic needle 13 to the adhesive bandage 11 once it has been detached, thereby providing favorable advantages in terms of hygiene. In short, the therapeutic needle 13 is attached to the adhesive surface 14 of the bandage 11.
The specific bonding means is not critical as long as it is bonded to the side.

In addition, the sterilizing gas is not limited to the ethylene gas used in the above embodiment, but may be any other sterilizing gas.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the present invention has a plurality of recesses formed on the upper surface of the instrument body, and the upper surface is covered with a gas-permeable release sheet for sterilization. The inside of the recess can be made into an independent sterile chamber, and therefore, the sterile state inside each recess can be maintained regardless of whether the instrument body is taken out of the package or the like.

Therefore, the sterility of the device is not lost when the device is removed from the package as in the past, and acupuncture can be performed in an extremely hygienic manner regardless of whether other therapeutic needles are used. It has come to have the special effect of being able to do the following.

Furthermore, since cuts are provided in the connecting portions between the respective recesses of the device main body and in the release sheet, the desired number of partitions, adhesive plasters, and therapeutic needles of the device main body can be separated through the cuts. Therefore, the compartments can be separated from the main body of the device depending on the number of therapeutic needles required, and this is very convenient in terms of storage and portability of the device with stick-on therapeutic needles.

In addition, since the release sheet is attached to the upper surface of the device body so as to cover the recessed part, and the bandage having the therapeutic needle is attached to the upper surface of the release sheet,
The work of providing the release sheet and bandage on the device body only needs to be done on one side of the device body. Therefore, the work becomes easier, work efficiency can be improved, and costs can be reduced.

Moreover, since the bandage is provided in a smaller shape than the opening of the recess in the device body,
Even though the release sheet and bandage are provided on one side of the device body as described above, the sterilizing gas can be suitably accommodated in the recess through the part of the release sheet to which the bandage is not attached.

Furthermore, by constructing the release sheet from a material that does not allow air to pass through under atmospheric pressure, even if the main body of the device is exposed to the outside air during use, no outside air will enter the recess, and this will prevent the air from entering the recess. There is an advantage that bacteria floating therein can be suitably prevented from adhering to the treatment needle protruding into the recess.
