Research Abstract |
In blood sampling and drug injection, the needle should quickly puncture to the blood vessel for decreasing the pain. It is thought that high-speed needle penetration would restrain the tissue deformation that was depending on the viscoelasticity of the tissue, and then stimulation and damage in the free end nervous system would be decreased. In this study, we discussed the effectiveness of needle puncturing with impulse vibration for restraining the tissue deformation and nervous system damage. Elastic rubbers that were like human skin of the viscoelasticity were punctured by blood sampling needles with 2.5 mm/s of the speed, with micro vibration of sine, rectangular and saw-tooth waveform, and 0, 10, 100, 1k, 10k and 100k Hz of the frequency. The puncture forces were monitored and the waveforms were evaluated. It was confirmed that micro vibration mainly decreased frictional force between the needle wall and the elastic rubber. However, decrease of puncture force did not depend on the frequency of the vibration. In addition, application of 10 % expansion to elastic rubber decreased of 40% in puncture force and reduced puncture time to half. The reduction of puncture time means decrease of movement of the target point of needle puncture, and was seemed effective to prevent medical mishaps of needle puncture to blood vessel such as internal haemorrhage.
