A corset type sternum protector

Abstract

The invention discloses a camisole type breastbone protecting device. The camisole type breastbone protecting device comprises a camisole body made of warp knitting mesh cloth, and breastbones of a patient can be wrapped by the camisole body; the front chest portion of the camisole body is connected with a V-shaped structure, and the back portion of the camisole body is connected with a Y-shaped structure; the V-shaped structure and the Y-shaped structure are both made of stabilized yarn, warp knitting mesh and flinty cotton non-woven cloth; each shoulder portion of the camisole body is matched with the side face at the corresponding side in a detachable mode. According to the camisole body mainly made of the warp knitting mesh, sufficient elasticity, good breathability and effective supporting force are achieved; by means of the V-shaped structure at the front chest portion and the Y-shaped structure at the back portion, the breastbones can be supported and protected effectively. Through woven tape bracelets arranged at the shoulder portions, it is convenient for the patient to grasp when body position is changed, the action for protecting thoraxe can be made better, and the discomfort on account of displacement of breastbones is alleviated. By means of the camisole type design, namely the shoulder portions and the left side of the camisole body are provided with openings, the operation and nursing of medical personnel after an operation is completed are facilitated.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a bra-type sternum protector. Background technique [0002] According to the statistics of the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the number of people undergoing heart surgery in mainland China in 2013 was 220,000. The midline thoracic incision is the most commonly used surgical approach. The surgeon needs to use an electric saw to cut it along the midline of the sternum at the beginning of the operation, and use a wire to tie the sternum closed at the end of the operation. It takes 3 to 4 months for the patient's sternum to complete bone healing. During this period of time, severe coughing and other improper activities can easily cause the sternum to be difficult or unable to heal. Severe sternal opening requires a second operation, such as sternal osteomyelitis can even lead to death of the patient. Many patients deliberately reduce their activities due to fear of sternal complications...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there is no effective sternal protection device in China. To prevent and avoid the above-mentioned complications, it is necessary to design a corset-type sternal protection device based on clinical needs. It is expected that it can promote sternal healing in terms of comfort and functionality. The purpose of improving the quality of life of patients
