[0020] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0021] In order to simplify the drawings, only the parts related to the present invention are schematically shown in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, in order to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one of the parts with the same structure or function is schematically drawn or marked. In this article, "one" not only means "only one", but also means "more than one".

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 3This embodiment provides an abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device, including a maintaining component and a fixing component. The maintaining component includes an elastic maintaining bag and a filler filled in the elastic maintaining bag; the elastic maintaining bag is configured to be accommodated in the concave part of the abdominal wall, and the elastic maintaining bag can be elastically deformed under the filling of the filler to adapt to the shape of the concave part of the abdominal wall. The fixing component is connected to the maintaining component and the abdominal wall respectively, and the fixing component is used to fix the elastic maintaining bag in the concave part of the abdominal wall.

[0023] The elastic maintenance bag is preferably an airbag 1, and the filler therein can be a gas (such as air, etc.). The airbag 1 can be made of silica gel, TPU, PVC, etc. In other embodiments, the filler can be a liquid or a flowable granular fixed, etc., which is not limited here.

[0024] Although the specific structure of the abdominal wall depression is different for each patient after surgery, their overall shapes are similar. Therefore, the initial shape of the airbag 1 can be set to a smaller size that is similar to the overall shape of the abdominal wall depression; in this way, when the gas is injected into the airbag 1, the airbag 1 can be made to reach the initial shape first, and then continue to be inflated until the outside of the airbag 1 fits the skin of the abdominal wall depression, so that the airbag 1 can undergo a smaller elastic deformation to adapt to the shape of the abdominal wall depression.

[0025] The airbag 1 is provided with an air inlet connector 3, and a check valve structure is provided on the air inlet connector 3. The airbag 1 can be inflated through the air inlet connector 3, so that the airbag 1 expands until the part of the airbag 1 located at the concave part of the abdominal wall is in close contact with the skin at the concave part of the abdomen, and the shape of the airbag 1 is adapted to the shape of the concave part of the abdominal wall. The setting of the check valve structure on the air inlet connector 3 can prevent gas from flowing out of the air inlet connector 3. Specifically, the air inlet connector 3 can adopt a one-way Luer check valve or the like.

[0026] Preferably, the space inside the airbag 1 is divided into a plurality of independent spaces, each of which is filled with fillers, and each of which is provided with an air inlet connector 3; the plurality of independent spaces are arranged along the length direction of the airbag 1. In this way, the airbag 1 can be cut at the separation between adjacent independent spaces, so as to adjust the length of the airbag 1 during use, so as to adapt to abdominal wall depressions of different lengths.

[0027] Furthermore, a mark may be provided on the outer wall and / or the outer shape of the airbag 1 at the separation between adjacent independent spaces. Specifically in this embodiment, the airbag 1 forms a depression 11 at the separation between adjacent independent spaces, and the depression 11 is the above-mentioned mark. When in use, the depression 11 can be used to determine that the separation between adjacent independent spaces is a place, and a shearing operation can be performed.

[0028] The airbag 1 is an annular structure, the axial direction of the annular structure of the airbag 1 is the length direction of the airbag 1, and a through hole is formed on the inner side of the annular structure of the airbag 1. The maintenance component also includes a support member, and the support member is arranged in the through hole formed on the inner side of the annular structure of the airbag 1, and the support member is arranged along the axial direction of the annular structure of the airbag 1. The airbag 1 itself is relatively soft, and the support member arranged in the through hole formed on the inner side of the annular structure of the airbag 1 can play a good supporting role for the airbag 1. Specifically in this embodiment, the support member can be a plastic tube 2, and after the plastic tube 2 is inserted into the through hole, it can be fixed in the through hole by gluing or the like. The plastic tube 2 can be bent in a small arc in the length direction so as to better adapt to the depression of the abdominal wall.

[0029] The fixing component includes a first gel colloid 4 and a second gel colloid 6. The first gel colloid 4 is bonded to the bottom of the elastic maintenance bag, and the first gel colloid 4 is covered with a first release film 5. When using the abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device of this embodiment, the first release film 5 is first removed, and then the airbag 1 is placed in the abdominal wall groove, and the first gel colloid 4 bonded to the bottom of the airbag 1 is bonded to the inner skin of the abdominal wall groove, and the first gel colloid 4 is used for the initial fixation of the airbag 1.

[0030] When the elastic maintenance bag is placed in the concave part of the abdominal wall, its top part protrudes out of the concave part of the abdominal wall, and the protruding part is the connecting part of the elastic maintenance bag; the second gel colloid 6 in the fixing component is connected to the connecting part of the elastic maintenance bag. Specifically, the second gel colloid 6 is bonded to the outer wall of the top of the elastic maintenance bag; the second gel colloid 6 is a sheet structure, and the second gel colloid 6 has a first side and a second side that are arranged oppositely, and the first side of the second gel colloid 6 is the side facing the abdominal wall; in the part of the second gel colloid 6 that is not bonded to the elastic maintenance bag, the first side is covered with a second release film 7, and the second side is covered with a molding film 8. After the airbag 1 is inflated, the second release film 7 is torn off to bond the second gel colloid 6 to the skin, thereby fixing the airbag 1. The first gel colloid 4 and the second gel colloid 6 are both used to fix the airbag 1, but the second gel colloid 6 plays a major role in fixing the airbag 1. When fixing the airbag 1, the airbag 1 is firstly fixed in the concave part of the abdominal wall by the first gel colloid 4, and then the airbag 1 is mainly fixed by the second gel colloid 6. The preliminary fixation by the first gel colloid 4 ensures that when the airbag 1 is mainly fixed by the second gel colloid 6, there will be no situation that one end of the airbag 1 in the length direction is fixed while the other end of the airbag 1 in the length direction is tilted, and there is no need to press the tilted other end of the airbag 1 by hand, which is convenient for operation.

[0031] The first gel colloid 4 and the second gel colloid 6 can be made of hydrocolloid or the like.

[0032] The first release film 5 and the second release film 7 are mainly used to seal the first gel colloid 4 and the second gel colloid 6 respectively during transportation and storage; when the first gel colloid 4 and the second gel colloid 6 need to be adhered to the skin, the corresponding first release film 5 and the second release film 7 need to be torn off first.

[0033] In order to firmly fix the airbag 1 in the concave part of the abdominal wall, the sheet-shaped second gel colloid 6 needs to be larger in size; if there is only the second gel colloid 6 in the sheet-shaped second gel colloid 6 of larger size, the second gel colloid 6 itself is easy to break, thereby reducing the stability of the connection of the airbag 1. For this reason, a molding film 8 is provided on the second side of the second gel colloid 6. The provision of the molding film 8 can stabilize the shape of the second gel colloid 6 so that it will not be loose, thereby firmly fixing the airbag 1 in the concave part of the abdominal wall. Specifically, the molding film 8 can be made of PU film, TPU film, etc.

[0034] The molding film 8 is relatively soft. When the second release film 7 is torn off and the second gel colloid 6 is pasted on the skin, the molding film 8 may be wrinkled due to unfamiliar operation and other reasons, thereby causing the second gel colloid 6 to adhere to itself and no longer effectively adhere to the skin. To solve this problem, the abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device of this embodiment is further provided with a backing 9. Specifically, the molding film 8 has a first side and a second side that are relatively arranged. The first side of the molding film 8 is provided with the second gel colloid 6, and the second side of the molding film 8 is connected with the backing 9. The backing 9 can be made of a harder material such as cardboard and acrylic board. The molding film 8 itself has a certain adhesion and can adhere to the backing 9. When the second gel colloid 6 is pasted on the skin, the backing 9 does not fall off. The backing 9 that does not fall off makes the entire second gel colloid 6 not easy to bend and easy to fit. When the second gel colloid 6 is well fitted with the skin, the backing 9 can be torn off again.

[0035] Preferably, the fixing assembly may include a plurality of second gel colloids 6, each of which is provided with a separate second gel colloid 6, a second release film 7 and a backing 9; and at least one second gel colloid 6 is bonded and connected to the outer wall of the elastic maintenance bag corresponding to each independent space. Compared with providing a large, integral second gel colloid 6 for the entire airbag 1, the provision of a plurality of second gel colloids 6 can better adapt to different abdominal wall shapes of different patients, and can also better fix the airbag 1.

[0036] The present invention provides an assembly and manufacturing process of the abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device of this embodiment. It should be noted that the assembly and manufacturing process is only a feasible example, not a limitation of the present invention. The assembly and manufacturing process is as follows: the airbag 1 is manufactured by blister molding, ultrasonic welding, glue bonding, etc., and the air inlet connector 3 is connected to the airbag 1 by glue bonding, thermoplastic molding, welding, etc.; the plastic tube 2 is inserted into the through hole formed on the inner side of the annular structure of the airbag 1, and is glued and fixed with ultraviolet light curing glue; the first gel colloid 4 is pasted on the bottom of the airbag 1, and then the first release film 5 is covered on the first gel colloid 4; the first side of the molding film 8 is placed upward, and then the second gel colloid 6 is added to the molding film 8, and then the airbag 1 is turned upside down, and the top of the airbag 1 is connected to the second gel colloid 6, and then the second release film 7 is pasted on the exposed part of the first side of the second gel colloid 6; and then the backing 9 is pasted on the second side of the molding film 8.

[0037] The use process of the abdominal wall shaping maintenance device of this embodiment is now provided. It should be noted that this use process is only a feasible example, not a limitation of the present invention. The use process is as follows: tear off the first release film 5, and then fit the airbag 1 in the abdominal wall depression, wherein the first gel colloid 4 exposed at the bottom of the airbag 1 after the first release film 5 is torn off will initially fix the airbag 1 in the abdominal wall depression; tear off the second release film 7, fit the second gel colloid 6 to the appropriate position of the skin to fix the airbag 1; then tear off the backing 9; finally, inflate the airbag 1 through the air inlet connector 3, and stop inflating when the airbag 1 expands to fit the skin of the abdominal wall depression and applies appropriate pressure to the skin of the abdominal wall depression; the second gel colloid 6 of this embodiment adopts hydrogel, which is limited by the service life of the adhesive fixation of the hydrogel. After about one week of use in the embodiment, it needs to be torn off from the abdominal wall, and then replaced with a new abdominal wall shaping maintenance device described in this embodiment for use until the abdominal wall depression is formed and the maintenance device no longer needs to be used. Among them, the length of the airbag 1 can be adjusted according to the specific length of the patient's abdominal wall depression before use, specifically, the depression 11 of the airbag 1 (that is, the separation between adjacent independent spaces in the airbag 1) can be cut to adjust the length of the airbag 1; when replacing the new abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device described in this embodiment, the second gel colloid 6 can be attached to the skin when it is attached to the area where the second gel colloid 6 has not been attached before, or the area where the second gel colloid 6 has been attached before can be wiped and then a new second gel colloid 6 can be attached. Furthermore, the abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device of this embodiment can be used in conjunction with a body shaping garment, and the abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device of this embodiment can be set between the body shaping garment and the patient's skin. The two can be used in conjunction with each other, and while maintaining the overall shape of the abdomen after surgery, better pressurization can be applied to the local area (here referring to the abdominal wall depression) to achieve maintenance of the local tissue, especially the concave and convex shape of the lines.

[0038] The abdominal wall shaping and maintaining device provided in this embodiment, the airbag 1 is used to maintain the concave and convex lines of the abdominal midline and the half-moon line (depending on the patient's needs, multiple abdominal wall shaping and maintaining devices can be used simultaneously) after liposuction and abdominal wall plastic surgery. The cooperation of the second gel colloid 6 and the molding film 8 on both sides of the airbag 1 can be used to fix the airbag 1. Compared with the solution of a whole piece of a single large second gel colloid 6, the cooperation of multiple second gel colloids 6 and the corresponding molding film 8 can better adapt to different postures of the abdomen, and at the same time, prevent the second gel colloid 6 from sticking together due to the bending of the body. Compared with the use of rubber bodies and other structures in the prior art, the use of the airbag 1 and the filler can be personalized according to the width of the patient's lines. The internal space of the airbag 1 is divided into multiple independent spaces, and each independent space is inflated and filled, so that the partitions between adjacent independent spaces can be cut, that is, the airbag 1 can be cut according to the different lengths of the patient's abdominal depressions, thereby adjusting the length of the airbag 1 when used.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
