Abstract
There is provided an acupuncture needle for use in acupuncture treatment. The acupuncture needle having a metal needle handle is secured within an insertion tube made of a resin. A resin in an area where a surface of a needle handle 2 of an acupuncture needle 1 and an inner surface of an insertion tube 3 are in contact with each other is melted by high-frequency-induction heating or microwave heating, whereby the two are secured to each other. At this time, there is no need to use another member and thus the two can be secured to each other without increasing the number of components. In addition, by holding the insertion tube 3 and tapping an end portion of the needle handle 2, the acupuncture needle 1 can be released from the insertion tube 3 with one hand.
