[Development of handshape tuina-cupping instrument based on pulsating airflow technology]

A new type of handshape tuina-cupping instrument is developed to overcome the shortcomings of traditional cupping therapy, such as indentation and pain, and simulates the tuina manipulation, so as to realize the combination of cupping therapy and tuina manipulation. The handshape tuina-cupping instrument has a trumpet-shaped, silica gel edge. At the same time, the finger-belly shape is added at the cupping edge to simulate the shape of fingers during tuina. Under the action of air suction and deflation of pulsating airflow, the purpose of simulating tuina manipulation is achieved, and the indentation and pain caused by the handshape tuina-cupping instrument is significantly less than that of the traditional cupping instrument.
