Abstract:Objective:To design and evaluate a novel induction glove for safe collection of acupuncture needles,so as to solve the problems of difficult recovery of acupuncture needles,high risk of needlestick injuries for operators,and inconvenient cleaning and maintenance of sensors in clinical acupuncture practice. Methods:A structural design scheme combining glove assembly and detachable induction assembly was adopted. The glove assembly consists of a cut-resistant glove body,first sensors distributed at the fingertips of five fingers,and a wrist Velcro fixing device. The induction assembly is fixed on the back of the glove through an elastic buckle disassembly mechanism with built-in metal sensors. Systematic tests were carried out on the metal detection sensitivity,disassembly convenience of sensors,protective performance and cleaning & disinfection effect of the device. Results:The detection success rate of the glove for acupuncture needles with a diameter of 0.20–0.40 mm reached 98.7%;the average disassembly and assembly time of the sensor was 3.2±0.5 s;the cut-resistant layer could withstand acupuncture penetration force of 3.5 N;after 50 cycles of disassembly and assembly,the locking force attenuation rate of the buckle structure was less than 5%. The detachable design enables the glove body to undergo high-temperature and high-pressure steam sterilization with a sterilization pass rate of 100%. Conclusion:The induction glove for safe collection of acupuncture needles has excellent performance inmetal detection sensitivity,sensor disassembly convenience and protective performance. It can effectively reduce the risk of needlestick injuries during needle recovery,solve the difficulty of cleaning and disinfection,and has high clinical promotion value.
