Bent needle

弯针 〔彎針〕 wān zhēn

A needle that, owing to poor needle manipulation skill or physical movement by the patient, becomes bent after insertion in the human body.

Management: Gently move the patient into the original posture in which the needle was inserted. Then gradually work the needle out. Do not under any circumstances use forceful or brisk movement, otherwise the needle may break.
