The canine body acupuncture model is an important teaching aid in veterinary acupuncture teaching and clinical training. Its main function is to standardize and improve the learning effect of canine acupuncture operations. The model is designed based on the real proportion and anatomical structure of the dog's body, accurately marking the common meridian directions and acupoint locations, enabling learners to intuitively grasp the distribution characteristics of the dog's meridians and acupoints and the basis for their selection, making up for the deficiency of learning only through diagrams.
In teaching and practical training, the dog body needle model provides a safe and repeatable practice platform for students and beginners in veterinary medicine. It can be used for training in operations such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and electroacupuncture, helping to master the Angle, depth, and key points of the technique of needle insertion, and avoiding the risks and ethical issues brought about by directly operating on live animals. Meanwhile, this model is helpful for understanding the application principles of acupuncture in common canine diseases, such as motor system injuries, neurological dysfunction and digestive problems. In clinical teaching and skills assessment, the canine body acupuncture model can also serve as a standardized teaching tool, enhancing the standardization and practical value of veterinary acupuncture teaching.
