Compared with other acupuncture and moxibustion training models, the leg acupuncture and moxibustion model has remarkable characteristics, which are not only reflected in its material and structure, but also reflected in its teaching and application functions. The following is a detailed elaboration of its characteristics:

 First, material and structural characteristics

Highly simulated silicone material: The leg acupuncture model is usually made of silicone material, which has a high degree of skin imitation, soft touch, and can simulate the touch and elasticity of real human skin. This makes it possible for users to experience close to the real feeling of acupuncture during acupuncture training.

Detailed anatomical structure: The leg acupuncture model simulates the anatomical structure of the adult lower limbs, including femur, tibia, patella, fibula, ankle and so on. These detailed anatomical structures help users gain a deeper understanding of the structure of the human leg and the distribution of acupuncture points.

Second, teaching and application features

Recessive labeling of acupuncture points: Compared with other acupuncture training models, the leg acupuncture model uses recessive labeling to label acupuncture points. Under common light, acupuncture points are not visible and need to be irradiated with a special light source to appear. This design not only increases the interest, but also can test the correctness of acupuncture point selection, improve the quality of teaching and assessment.

Training with multiple acupuncture methods: The leg acupuncture model is suitable for training with a variety of acupuncture methods, such as needle insertion, needle lifting, rotation, etc. Due to the high simulation of the model, users can feel the different effects of different acupuncture methods in actual operation, so as to improve their acupuncture skills.

Reusable: The leg acupuncture model is made of durable materials and can be practiced and evaluated repeatedly. This makes the model has a very high cost performance, suitable for long-term use in medical colleges, traditional Chinese acupuncture clinics and other places.

Interactive: Some advanced leg acupuncture models also have interactive features, such as connecting the model through a tablet computer to display information such as acupuncture point location and acupuncture depth in real time. This interactive feature makes the learning and assessment process more intuitive and convenient.

In summary, leg acupuncture model plays an important role in TCM acupuncture teaching and clinical practice due to its characteristics of high simulation, detailed anatomical structure, recessive marking of acupuncture points, multiple acupuncture training methods, repeatability and interactivity.
