Cat body acupuncture model

The cat body acupuncture model is an intuitive tool specially designed for veterinary teaching and research in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. It is mainly used to display the meridian directions and common acupoint locations on the body surface of felines. The models are usually made to the scale of a real cat, with the distribution of acupoints clearly marked, which can help learners master the rules of acupoint selection and key points of operation in acupuncture in a short time.

In teaching applications, teachers can use models to explain the main meridians of a cat's body, such as the Governor Vessel, the Ren Vessel, and the directions of the three Yang and three Yin meridians of the foot, and point out the relevant acupoints one by one. Through observation and identification, students can intuitively understand the connection between the distribution of meridians and the functions of internal organs. For beginners, this model offers a safe and repeatable platform, avoiding the inconvenience and risks of practicing directly on animals.

During the simulation operation session, learners can use dedicated teaching AIDS such as needles or alternative tools to conduct training in acupoint location and needling techniques. It should be handled with care to avoid damaging the model. After use, the surface should be cleaned in time to maintain the clarity of the acupoint marks, and it should be properly stored in a dry environment.

The cat body acupuncture model not only holds significant value in veterinary education but also provides an intuitive demonstration tool for clinical research and animal health popular science. It closely combines theory with practice, providing strong support for the promotion and application of acupuncture in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine.
