German term

Sternhammer

German to English Medical Medical (general) TCM
I have a translation mentioning TCM acupuncture methods where the term "Sternhammer" comes up.
I cannot find any translation in Internet, only that "Damit werden Akupunkturpunkte stimuliert"

Does anyone have any idea what it is and if there is an English term for it.

Thanks
Claire
