Acupoint embedding therapy is a treatment that embeds absorbable thread into target acupoints, so as to provide continuous stimulation to acupoints and to replace retained acupuncture. Many types of absorbable threads are available and generally can be divided into natural and synthetic polymers according to the source of material. According to the literature, the threads currently used in acupoint embedding have some limitations, and may cause side effects in clinical practice. Bioactive threads may be used to further reduce side effects and promote application of acupoint embedding.

可吸收聚合物线作为穴位包埋材料的研究进展

穴位埋线疗法是将可吸收线嵌入目标穴位，对穴位提供持续刺激，替代滞留针刺的治疗方法。可吸收线的种类很多，根据材料的来源，一般可分为天然聚合物和合成聚合物。据文献记载，目前​​用于穴位埋线的线材存在一定的局限性，在临床实践中可能会产生副作用。使用生物活性线可进一步减少副作用，促进穴位埋线的应用。
