When cupping, do not use tweezers to hold alcohol cotton balls, but use hemostatic forceps. The elderly have poor motor coordination, and even have hand shaking symptoms of Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sequelae. Tweezers need to keep pushing when they hold things, and they will fall off when they are relaxed. However, when hemostatic forceps with special occlusal structure clamps the alcohol cotton ball, it only needs a little force to clamp the cotton ball and keep it in this state.
When the elderly cupping, pay attention to the cupping time should not be too long. This is because the elderly have poor tolerance, and the cupping time should not be too long, so 10~ 15 minutes is appropriate. When lifting cans, you can't pull them straight up and down. The correct way is to hold the can in your left hand and press the skin of the can mouth with your thumb and forefinger in your right hand. When the negative pressure of the can disappears, the can will fall without being pulled.
Cupping is not only time-sensitive, but also a round cotton ball dipped in alcohol. Cotton balls with too many burrs and irregular shapes should be banned, so as to avoid touching the inner wall of the bottle mouth when the cotton balls enter the bottle and scalding people who receive cupping health care.
Alcohol should be 95%. Some people soak hemostatic forceps in alcohol, and always combine cotton balls with alcohol. it is not good to do this. If the lighted alcohol cotton ball drips alcohol downwards, it may hurt cupping recipients or cause fire. If alcohol drips down the hemostatic forceps, it may also hurt copper.
When the elderly are dipped in alcohol, they only need to immerse half of the cotton ball in alcohol, and the strong adsorption of the cotton ball can also make the other half full of alcohol. After the alcohol cotton ball is lit, hold the can with your left hand, so that the opening of the can makes an angle of 45 degrees downward with the horizontal plane, wrap it around the bottom of the bottle, take it out, and quickly put the can gently on the cupping.
