The use of acupuncture leg training model is an indispensable part of TCM acupuncture learning, and its detailed use is as follows:

First, the preparation stage

Confirm the model: First, confirm that the acupuncture leg training model in your hand is intact and not damaged. The model should simulate the lower limb structure of adults, including femur, tibia, patella, etc., and the skin quality should be highly simulated.

Preparation tools: In addition to the model itself, you will also need to prepare acupuncture needles, a flashlight with a special light source (if the model has recessive labeled points), and cleaning and disinfecting supplies (such as alcohol).

Second, acupoint location and familiarity

Check the acupressure marks: If the model is labeled with acupressure points, you can first observe and familiarize yourself with the locations and names of these acupressure points. For recessive marked acupoints, you can use the equipped special light source flashlight to illuminate the model to make the acupoints appear.

Acupoint location: According to the teaching guidance or map, accurately mark the meridian direction and the exact location of the acupoint on the model. By touching the model, feel the depth of the meridians and the specific location of the acupoints.

Third, the operation stage

Disinfection: Alcohol is used to disinfect the acupuncture points and acupuncture needles on the model before performing the acupuncture operation to ensure the sterility of the operation.

Acupuncture exercises: According to learning needs, acupuncture exercises at different points. During the acupuncture process, pay attention to the strength, depth and Angle to simulate the real acupuncture operation.

Test effect: If the model has recessive marked acupoints, the accuracy of point selection can be tested by observing whether the acupoints appear after acupuncture. At the same time, the effect of acupuncture can also be evaluated by hand feeling.

4. Precautions

Safety: When using acupuncture needles, ensure that their sharpness is moderate to avoid stabbing yourself or the model. Always be attentive and careful during operation.

Cleaning and maintenance: After each use, the model should be cleaned and disinfected to ensure the hygiene and safety of the model. At the same time, the model should be maintained and inspected regularly to ensure that it is in good condition.

Step by step: In the process of practice, to gradually increase the difficulty and complexity, do not rush. Gradually improve your acupuncture skills through repeated practice and consolidation.

To sum up, the use of acupuncture leg training models requires careful preparation, familiarity with acupuncture points, standardized operation, and attention to safety and cleanliness. Through repeated practice and consolidation, you can effectively improve your acupuncture skills.
