Japanese term or phrase: 置鍼

This seems to be an acupuncture technique that involves inserting and leaving the needle in place.
Have seen the term 'retaining needle' but wonder whether this is the accepted term or whether there is an alternative Chinese or English term.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your help. I think the press needle is a bit different and is called 円皮鍼 in Japanese. Other answers seem to confirm my original choice of retaining needle/needle retention so have stuck with that. Regards Thomas Hannon
