留针 is not the needle itself, but what is done with the needle, as I understand it, and I don't think it's right to suggest that the needle is "held."

N ~
留针 [liúzhēn] [动] 针灸时,针刺入穴位内停留一定时间,以强化针刺效应。

J ~ Objective To observe effects of manipulating the needle in acupuncture.
目的:观察针刺留针时运针与否的针刺效应。
Diff:
- 留針 留针 [liu2 zhen1] /a needle held inserted in an acupoint/
+ 留針 留针 [liu2 zhen1] /to leave an inserted needle in place for a period of time (acupuncture)/
