Precautions for the Fourteen Meridian point model

The Fourteen Meridian Point model is a simulation teaching aid used for acupuncture teaching and training. By visually presenting the fourteen meridians and main acupoints of the human body, it helps learners master the location of acupoints and the distribution of meridians. During the usage process, the following points should be noted to ensure the teaching effect and the service life of the model.

First of all, before operation, the integrity of the model should be checked to ensure that the acupoint markings are clear and that the joints, meridian lines and additional structures are undamaged. The disassemblable model should ensure that the interface is stable and avoid loosening during demonstration or practice.

Secondly, when practicing needling, special teaching needles should be used to avoid using real needles that may cause damage to the model. Students should master the method of gently inserting needles, follow the Angle and depth of needle insertion at the acupoints, and prevent repeated forceful operations from causing surface wear or cracks.

Secondly, in teaching, the model should follow the principle of gradual progress. One can first observe the distribution of meridians as a whole, then gradually practice individual acupoints, and enhance understanding by combining theoretical explanations. During the demonstration, excessive bending or pulling of the model should be avoided to prevent damage to its internal structure.

Finally, after use, the surface of the model should be cleaned in a timely manner. You can wipe it with a clean soft cloth. Avoid using strong acid or solvent-based cleaning agents. Store the model in a dry and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight or high-temperature environments, to extend its service life.

By adhering to these precautions, the Fourteen Meridian Points model can not only enhance the intuitiveness of teaching but also effectively protect the model, ensuring its stable use in long-term training.
