Abstract: A puncturing guidance tube for a long and fine needle is invented that is comprised of: a cylindrical body forming a long tubal-shape, a head portion forming a funnel shaped rim, an upper portion (31) of the cylindrical body having a large diameter, a lower portion (32) of the cylindrical body having a small diameter, a transition portion disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion, wherein the large diameter is gradually reduced to the small diameter of the cylindrical body, and a needle gateway (33) forming a lateral opening vertically all along the cylindrical body for easily removing the guidance tube from an operating needle, so that the long and fine needle can be punctured without buckling during an initial operation of the puncturing. The overall length of the tube is about two-third of the needle and the opening width of the needle gateway (33) is wide enough to pass out the needle.

Abstract: A new concept of an acupuncture needle tube is invented. The needle tube includes a cylindrical body, a large diameter portion defined on the upper portion of the cylindrical body, a small diameter portion defined on the lower portion of the cylindrical body, the small diameter portion extending from the lower end of the large diameter portion to the lower end of the cylindrical body, and a needle gateway formed along with the lateral of the upper and lower tube on the cylindrical body.
