Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical appliances, in particular to an improved chest belt after breast surgery. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing incidence of breast diseases, especially breast cancer, breast surgery has become a common treatment method. However, the recovery process after surgery is a long and challenging stage for patients. Among them, breast protection and wound healing are the key links in postoperative recovery. In the early days, patients after breast surgery often used traditional chest belts for fixation and compression, but these chest belts often had problems such as unreasonable design and inconvenience in use, which could not meet the actual needs of patients. Therefore, with the advancement of medical technology and the improvement of humanized design concepts, it has become an urgent need to improve the chest belts used by breast patients after surgery. In this context, medical technicians began to devote themselves to developing more comfortable, safe and effective postoperative chest belts. Through in-depth research on the characteristics of breast surgery and the needs of postoperative recovery, combined with the latest achievements in ergonomics and materials science, they gradually introduced various improved chest belts for breast patients after surgery. These improved chest belts are more in line with the physiological characteristics of the human body in design, can better fix and protect the surgical site, and reduce the pain of patients. In terms of material selection, the improved chest belt also uses softer, breathable and antibacterial materials to improve patient comfort and prevent postoperative infection.
[0003] Traditional chest straps are tightly bandaged and used to apply pressure to stop bleeding. The edges of the chest straps, especially the armpit and back areas, are prone to medical device-related pressure injuries after long-term wear. In clinical practice, two pieces of beautiful skin scars are cut and affixed to the contact point between the edge of the chest strap and the skin in the armpit area. This is expensive, and if the position of the affixation is inaccurate, it will still cause pressure injuries. Secondly, most patients complain that the chest strap is not breathable, easy to sweat, and the Velcro of the shoulder strap is easy to loosen. Finally, due to the different weights of patients, it is impossible to quantify how tight the chest strap is and how much pressure is generated. Occasionally, some patients tighten it too tightly and experience discomfort such as difficulty breathing. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical issues to be solved
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an improved chest strap after breast surgery, which has the advantages of reducing the pressure on the contact area between the edge of the chest strap and the skin, reducing the pressure damage of the chest strap to the patient's skin, and reducing the workload of nurses; enhancing the breathability of the chest strap, cross-setting the chest strap shoulder straps, and double fixing with buckles to prevent the shoulder straps from slipping, and the porous structure is also conducive to the stretching of the chest strap; the most suitable degree of tightness can be selected for different patients, enhancing the patient's wearing comfort, and solving the problem that the traditional chest strap is tightly bandaged and used for pressure hemostasis. The edge of the chest strap, especially the armpit area and the back area, is easy to cause medical device-related pressure damage after long-term wearing. In clinical practice, two pieces of beautiful skin scars are conventionally cut and attached to the contact area between the edge of the chest strap and the skin in the armpit area. The cost is high, and if the position of the attachment is not accurate, it will still cause pressure damage. Secondly, most patients complain that the chest strap is not breathable, easy to sweat, and the Velcro of the shoulder strap is easy to loosen. Finally, patients have different weights, and it is impossible to quantify how tight the chest strap is and how much pressure is generated. Occasionally, patients may tighten the strap too much and experience discomfort such as difficulty breathing.
[0006] (II) Technical solution

[0011] Preferably, the shoulder strap is also provided with a buckle cord, and a buckle lock is provided at the end of the buckle cord, and the buckle lock can be fastened with the fastener.
[0012] Preferably, the cross-sections of the back decompression airbag, the side decompression airbag and the bottom decompression airbag are "U"-shaped grooves, and the inner surfaces of the grooves are coated with a sticky coating.
[0013] (III) Beneficial effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides an improved chest belt after breast surgery, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. A modified chest strap after breast surgery, which is used in coordination with a chest strap, a back decompression airbag, a side decompression airbag and a bottom decompression airbag. In the process of wearing the chest strap, firstly, the back decompression airbag, the side decompression airbag and the bottom decompression airbag are attached to the edge of the chest strap through the adhesive inside the groove, and then the chest strap is pressed against the patient's back, the two sides of the chest strap are wrapped forward, and finally the Velcro of the chest strap is attached to each other in front of the patient's chest. The back decompression airbag can separate the skin of the patient's back from the edge of the chest strap, the side decompression airbag can separate the skin of the patient's armpit from the edge of the chest strap, and the bottom decompression airbag can separate the skin of the patient's abdomen and back from the bottom edge of the chest strap, thereby reducing the damage caused by frequent friction with the edge of the chest strap with greater friction during the patient's activities, and reducing the pressure of the edge of the chest strap on the patient's skin in the process of tightening the chest strap, thereby reducing pressure damage. Thereby, the pressure of the contact area between the edge of the chest strap and the skin is reduced, the pressure damage of the chest strap to the patient's skin is reduced, and the workload of nurses is reduced.
[0016] 2. This improved chest strap after breast surgery is used by the coordination of a chest strap, a shoulder strap fixing bundle, ventilation holes, shoulder straps, shoulder strap Velcro, buckle ropes, inclined Velcro and fasteners. The breathability of the chest strap is enhanced by setting evenly distributed ventilation holes on the chest strap. Pull out the shoulder straps in the shoulder strap fixing bundle, stick the left shoulder strap Velcro on the inclined Velcro on the right in a cross manner, and stick the right shoulder strap Velcro on the inclined Velcro on the left. The two shoulder straps cross from the patient's back to the front, forming an "X"-shaped fixing method in front of the patient's chest, and finally buckle the buckle rope on the fastener to prevent the Velcro from being pulled upward and falling off. This fixing method can prevent the left and right shoulder straps from sliding to the outside of the left and right shoulders of the patient after long-term use, and by tightening the buckle rope, the shoulder straps can be further prevented from falling off upward. In addition, since the chest strap is large in size and has a certain tensioning force, when the patient is wearing it, it is often difficult to stretch it due to the large tension of the chest strap, causing the Velcro of the chest strap to stick to each other on the patient's back. The porous design of the chest strap can not only achieve ventilation and perspiration, but also further reduce the tension of the chest strap, so as to better stretch and wear the chest strap. In this way, the breathability of the chest strap is enhanced, the chest strap and shoulder strap are set crosswise, and the shoulder strap is double fixed by the buckle rope to prevent it from slipping off. The porous structure is also conducive to the stretching effect of the chest strap.
[0017] 3. This improved chest strap after breast surgery is used through the cooperation of a chest strap, a scale and Velcro. For different patients, the chest strap needs to be tightened differently, so it is necessary to measure the tightening force of the chest strap so as to find the appropriate tightening force for the patient more quickly during the first use or subsequent replacement of the chest strap. When the chest strap is put on the patient for the first time, due to the presence of scale lines, it can be adjusted to the scale line that the patient is comfortable with and the scale line can be recorded. When it is subsequently replaced or disassembled and then worn, it can be directly located to the most comfortable tightening wearing force for the patient according to the recorded scale lines. Thereby achieving the effect of selecting the most suitable tightness for different patients and enhancing the wearing comfort of the patients. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0025] See also Figure 1-5 , an improved chest strap after breast surgery, comprising a chest strap 1 and a shoulder strap 2, two shoulder strap fixing bundles 13 are arranged on the side of the chest strap 1, and the shoulder strap fixing bundle 13 fixes the end of the shoulder strap 2 at its bottom, and the shoulder strap 2 can be pulled out from the shoulder strap fixing bundle 13, and the shoulder strap fixing bundle 13 is provided with a shoulder strap 2 that can be pulled out and extended from the shoulder strap fixing bundle 13, and the shoulder strap 2 is designed to be retractable and extendable, which is convenient for stretching and tightening, and chest strap Velcro 12 is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the chest strap 1, and the chest strap Velcro 12 on the left and right sides of the chest strap 1 are adhered to each other to completely fix the chest strap 1 on the patient's body. The combined design of the chest strap 1 and the shoulder strap 2 provides stable support for postoperative breast patients and reduces wound traction and pain caused by activities.
[0026] The surface of the chest strap 1 is provided with left-right symmetrical inclined Velcro 3, and the upper part of the shoulder strap 2 is provided with a shoulder strap Velcro 21, which is provided corresponding to the inclined Velcro 3. When the patient wears it, the chest strap 1 will be in a ring shape around the patient's chest. At this time, the shoulder strap 2 is located behind the patient, and the inclined Velcro 3 is located in front of the patient's chest. The shoulder strap 2 on the left side of the patient's back is passed around the patient's left shoulder, and finally it is pasted on the inclined Velcro 3 on the right side of the chest. Similarly, the shoulder strap 2 on the right side of the patient's back is passed around the patient's right shoulder, and finally it is pasted on the inclined Velcro 3 on the left side of the chest, forming an "X" shape fixation on the patient's chest. The shoulder strap 2 is also provided with a buckle rope 22, and the end of the buckle rope 22 is provided with a buckle lock 221, and the buckle lock 221 can be fastened with a fastener 31. The bottom of the inclined Velcro 3 is provided with a fastener 31. After the shoulder strap Velcro 21 and the inclined Velcro 3 are attached, the shoulder strap 2 is pulled upward all the time because the shoulder strap 2 is elastic. After long-term wearing, the shoulder strap Velcro 21 and the inclined Velcro 3 are easily detached. Therefore, the buckle 221 is buckled on the fastener 31, and the buckle cord 22 is pulled by the buckle 221, so that the buckle cord 22 further pulls the shoulder strap 2 connected thereto to offset the tension generated by the shoulder strap 2 itself, so that the shoulder strap Velcro 21 can be fixed on the inclined Velcro 3 for a longer time. The cross-fixing method of the shoulder strap 2 and the double fixing design of the buckle cord 22 and the fastener 31 ensure that the chest strap 1 is not easy to slip or shift during the patient's activities.
[0027] The main body of the chest strap 1 is provided with evenly distributed ventilation holes 17, which are helpful for perspiration and heat dissipation, thereby reducing the stuffiness feeling of the patient when wearing the chest strap.
[0028] The upper and lower sides of the chest strap 1 are respectively provided with a back pressure relief airbag 14, a side pressure relief airbag 15 and a bottom pressure relief airbag 16. The back pressure relief airbag 14 is arranged between the shoulder strap fixing bundles 13, the side pressure relief airbags 15 are respectively arranged on the left side of the left shoulder strap fixing bundle 13 and the right side of the right shoulder strap fixing bundle 13, and the bottom pressure relief airbag 16 is arranged on the bottom side of the chest strap 1. By providing the back pressure relief airbag 14, the side pressure relief airbag 15 and the bottom pressure relief airbag 16, the friction and pressure between the edge of the chest strap 1 and the skin are effectively reduced, and the comfort of the patient is improved. The cross-section of the back pressure relief airbag 14, the side pressure relief airbag 15 and the bottom pressure relief airbag 16 is a "U"-shaped groove 141, and the inner surface of the groove 141 is coated with a sticky paint. Through the sticky paint inside the groove 141 and the "U"-shaped design of the groove 141, when installing the airbag, it is only necessary to align the groove 141 with the edge of the chest strap 1 and press it on the edge of the chest strap 1 to install it on the chest strap 1.
[0029] Scale lines 11 are provided on the inner and outer sides of the bottom of the chest strap 1. The setting of the scale lines 11 allows patients and medical staff to make personalized adjustments according to actual conditions to ensure that the chest strap 1 reaches the most comfortable tightness. Because the chest strap 1 needs to be tightened differently for different patients, it is necessary to measure the tightening force of the chest strap 1 so as to find the appropriate tightening force for the patient more quickly during the first use or subsequent replacement of the chest strap 1. When the chest strap 1 is worn by the patient for the first time, due to the presence of the scale lines 11, it can be adjusted to the scale line 11 that the patient is comfortable with and the scale line 11 can be recorded. When it is subsequently replaced or disassembled and worn again, the most comfortable tightening wearing force for the patient can be directly located based on the recorded scale lines 11.
[0030] Working principle: When wearing the chest strap 1, firstly, the back decompression airbag 14, the side decompression airbag 15 and the bottom decompression airbag 16 are attached to the edge of the chest strap 1 through the adhesive inside the groove 141, and then the chest strap 1 is pressed against the patient's back, the two sides of the chest strap 1 are wrapped forward, and finally the chest strap Velcro 12 is attached to each other in front of the patient's chest. The back decompression airbag 14 can separate the skin of the patient's back from the edge of the chest strap 1, the side decompression airbag 15 can separate the skin of the patient's armpit from the edge of the chest strap 1, and the bottom decompression airbag 16 can separate the skin of the patient's abdomen and back from the bottom edge of the chest strap 1, thereby reducing the damage caused by frequent friction between the patient and the edge of the chest strap 1 with greater friction during the activity, and reducing the pressure of the edge of the chest strap 1 on the patient's skin in the process of tightening the chest strap 1, thereby reducing pressure damage. Thus, the pressure of the contact area between the edge of the chest strap 1 and the skin is reduced, the pressure damage of the chest strap 1 on the patient's skin is reduced, and the workload of nurses is reduced.
[0031] The chest strap 1 is provided with evenly distributed ventilation holes 17 to enhance the breathability of the chest strap 1. Pull out the shoulder strap 2 in the shoulder strap fixing bundle 13, stick the left shoulder strap Velcro 21 on the right inclined Velcro 3 in a cross manner, and stick the right shoulder strap Velcro 21 on the left inclined Velcro 3. The two shoulder straps 2 are crossed from the back of the patient to the front, forming an "X"-shaped fixing method in front of the patient's chest, and finally the buckle rope 22 is buckled on the fastener 31 to prevent the Velcro from being pulled upward and falling off. This fixing method can prevent the left and right shoulder straps 2 from sliding to the outside of the left and right shoulders of the patient after long-term use, and by tightening the buckle rope 22, the shoulder straps 2 are further prevented from falling off upward. In addition, since the chest strap 1 is large in size and has a certain tensioning force, when the patient is wearing it, it is often difficult to stretch it due to the large tensioning force of the chest strap 1, causing the chest strap Velcro 12 to stick to each other on the back of the patient. The porous design on the chest strap 1 can not only achieve breathability and perspiration, but also further reduce the tensioning force of the chest strap 1, thereby making it easier to stretch and wear the chest strap 1.
[0032] For different patients, the chest strap 1 needs to be tightened at different levels, so the tightening level of the chest strap 1 needs to be measured so that the appropriate tightening level can be found more quickly for the patient during the first use or subsequent replacement of the chest strap 1. When the chest strap 1 is worn by the patient for the first time, due to the presence of the scale line 11, the scale line 11 can be adjusted to the comfortable scale line 11 for the patient and recorded. When the chest strap 1 is replaced or removed and worn again, the most comfortable tightening level for the patient can be directly located based on the recorded scale line 11. This achieves the effect of selecting the most suitable tightening level for different patients and enhancing the wearing comfort of the patients.
