The so-called catgut embedding is to embed a special "protein thread" that can be absorbed by the human body into acupoints with a special needle. By slimming, it can continuously and effectively stimulate acupoints, including regulating the endocrine, nervous system and metabolism of the human body, and finally achieve the effect of losing weight.

Therefore, a very important issue related to catgut embedding and weight loss is to prevent infection and spread diseases.

Because catgut embedding at acupoints is a therapeutic behavior that invades the human body, it is easy to rupture blood vessels after steel needles penetrate into acupoints. If the needle is reused and the disinfection is not strict, it is easy to spread blood infectious diseases, such as AIDS and hepatitis B, so it is recommended to choose aseptic acupoint catgut embedding package.

At the same time, in the process of losing weight by embedding thread, we need to pay attention to:

(1) Strict aseptic operation to prevent infection. When implanting triangular needle, the operation should be light and accurate to prevent the needle from being broken.

(2) The catgut is best buried between subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Where the muscle is full, it can be buried in the muscle layer, and the catgut cannot be exposed outside the skin.

(3) According to different parts, master the depth of embedding, and don't hurt internal organs, large blood vessels and nerve trunks (don't directly ligate nerves and blood vessels), so as not to cause dysfunction and pain.

(4) It is not advisable to bury the thread when the skin has local infection or ulcer. This method is not suitable for active pulmonary tuberculosis, bone tuberculosis, severe heart disease or pregnancy.

(5) After the protein magnetized yarn is used, it can be soaked in 70% alcohol, or treated with bromogeramine, and then soaked in normal saline.

(6) When multiple treatments are carried out on an acupoint, the site of the previous treatment should be deviated.

(7) Pay attention to postoperative reaction, and handle any abnormal phenomena in time.

(8) Don't take a bath on the day of embedding.
