Abstract: A one-hand operated acupuncture dispensing system to administer acupuncture treatment at an acupoint point is described. The system includes an acupuncture needle, a clip and a guide tube to house the needle and the clip for securing and releasing the needle inside the guide tube. The tube prevents the clip from separation from the tube after the needle is dispensed. The clip is shaped to allow the acupuncture needle to exit the guide tube at an angle. The clip and/or guide tube can provide color coding. An alternate to the system includes a cap that joins with a guide tube housing an acupuncture needle. This alternate system also includes a clip that secures and releases the needle. In this alternate system, the cap, as well as the clip and/or guide tube can provide color coding.
