ABSTRACT:
A first independent electricity-conductive cradle comprises a visual-enhancement materials and a continuation of the electricity conducting electrical lead on the floor of the cradle and within an electricity conductive strip in said cradle adaptable to be introduced to and fit the handle of a second independent, percutaneously implanted metallic electro-acupuncture needle and pin thereby results in an excessively-tight coupling of said cradle and handle for affixing said electrical lead to the electricity conductive means of said handle in electroacupuncture to either reduce the risk or eliminate the transmission of infection and diseases. The continuation of the electricity conductive material of the shaft member is the handle of the acupuncture needle and pin and also on and along the wall of the handle. The excessively-tight linkage of the cradle and the handle ensures the optimal contact of the electrical lead and the needle and pin, and, therefore, the flow of the electricity from the electrical lead, the strip, cradle, handle, the continuation of the shaft, the shaft of the acupuncture needle to the person. Adhesive on one wall of the cradle permits reversible attachment of the cradle to the skin during electroacupuncture. The cradle and handle contain visualization enhancement materials to increase visualization and spatial localization of the handle and the cradle. The excessively tight coupling compels the disposal of the acupuncture pin and electrical lead after one single use.
