ABSTRACT
Shu-Mu acupoint combination is commonly employed in acupuncture and moxibustion treatment. In animal experiments, it is difficult to implement such combination because of the uncontrollable features of animals. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an experimental device to facilitate the operation of acupuncture and moxibustion at Shu-Mu acupoints in rats. The present study designed a device equipped with a fixed plate and a moxibustion frame for rats. The fixed plate and the moxibustion frame with detachable connection can allow acupuncture on the back, chest, and abdomen of rats to meet the requirements of the Shu-Mu acupoint combination. The moxibustion frame is made of universal hose and equipped with moxa clip, which ensures moxibustion in any direction and performs moxibustion on acupoints in the back, chest, and abdomen simultaneously. This device is unique in structure and convenient in operation, with safety and reliability. It is beneficial to the development of animal experiments related to acupuncture and moxibustion of Shu-Mu acupoint combination in the future.
