The needle portion includes a needle body, a porous layer formed by a plurality of micropores on the surface of the needle body, and a charge layer covering on the surface of the porous layer. When performing acupuncture, the affinity provided by the charge layer makes the human tissues to attach to the needle portion more easily. Moreover, during twirling the needle, the porous layer also increases the capability to affect the surrounding tissues and therefore the stimulation to the acupuncture point. | 10-06-2011 |
