Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of elastic stockings, and in particular to an elastic stocking and an elastic device for preventing varicose veins of the lower limbs. Background Art

[0002] Varicose veins of the lower limbs are a common disease of the venous system, which is especially common in people who engage in long-term physical labor or standing work. Due to valve dysfunction, blood in the veins flows back and accumulates, which is mainly manifested as dilation, bulging and tortuosity of the great saphenous vein in the lower limbs, which is commonly described as "bulging blue veins" in the legs. Clinical manifestations include varicose veins in the lower limbs, heaviness, fatigue and distension, edema, skin nutritional changes and venous ulcers.

[0003] The principle of using existing elastic stockings is to use its progressive pressure, which gradually decreases from the ankle to the upper part, contract the calf muscles to prevent venous congestion and return blood to the heart, thereby preventing the formation of deep vein thrombosis.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent number CN202843920U discloses a shaping health care pressure socks, including a trouser body and trouser legs. The trouser body is composed of a tissue structure made by a smooth decompression octagonal mesh weaving method, and the highest support pressure is established at the ankle. The pressure gradually decreases along the leg upward, and is reduced to 70%-90% of the maximum pressure value at the calf, and is reduced to 25%-45% of the maximum pressure value at the thigh, so as to promote the return of lower limb venous blood to the heart and reduce the pressure on the leg venous valves. Since this design of elastic socks establishes high support pressure at the ankle, it is inconvenient for the wearer to wear it in long-term daily life. It can only relieve symptoms in the short term or improve varicose veins, and has no good effect on protecting venous valve function and preventing venous dilatation.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent for researchers in this field to develop an elastic stocking and elastic device that has a good preventive effect on venous valve function protection and venous dilatation. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide an elastic stocking and an elastic device for preventing varicose veins of the lower limbs. By arranging elastic devices on the abdomen, groin, buttocks, inner thigh and popliteal parts of the stocking body, the technical problems of existing elastic stockings in protecting venous valve function and preventing venous dilatation due to establishing the highest support pressure at the ankle are avoided.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, on the one hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an elastic stocking for preventing varicose veins of the lower limbs, the elastic stocking comprising a stocking body and a trouser opening arranged at the upper end of the stocking body, the stocking body comprising a sock abdomen, a sock groin portion located below the sock abdomen, a sock buttock, an inner thigh portion and a popliteal fossa portion, and elastic devices are arranged on the sock abdomen, the sock groin portion, the sock buttock, the inner thigh portion and the popliteal fossa portion.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic device includes a bag connected to the pantyhose body and an elastic member detachably placed in the bag.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic member is a silicone pad or a sponge pad.

[0010] Further, the bag includes a first bag side body and a second bag side body correspondingly connected to the first bag side body, and the second bag side body and the first bag side body form a built-in cavity for placing the elastic member.

[0011] Furthermore, the first bag side body and the pantyhose body are an integral connecting piece.

[0012] Furthermore, the peripheral edge of the first bag side body is connected to the pantyhose body.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic member is a sheet-like structure which is thick in the middle and thin at the edges.

[0014] Furthermore, a zipper structure is provided on the pantyhose body, and one end of the zipper structure is provided on the panty opening.

[0015] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an elastic device, which includes the elastic device of the elastic stockings for preventing varicose veins of the lower limbs described in any of the above embodiments.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0017] The present application avoids the technical problems of existing elastic stockings in protecting venous valve function and preventing venous dilatation due to establishing the highest support pressure at the ankle by arranging elastic devices on the abdomen, groin, buttocks, inner thigh and popliteal fossa of the socks body.

[0018] Specifically, the design of the elastic stockings of the present application is based on the engineering of human vascular structure and the direction of blood vessels, and is targeted at the pathogenesis of varicose veins of the lower limbs. It can be used to prevent the progression of the disease in patients who stand for a long time or have high venous pressure in the lower limbs, patients with venous valve insufficiency in the lower limbs, and patients undergoing treatment for lower limb thrombosis. At the same time, it can reduce the tightness of the thighs, improve the wearer's use experience and the tolerance time of the elastic stockings. By improving and designing specific pressure points on the basis of existing elastic stockings, it has the following improvement advantages:

[0019] Elastic devices are installed in the groin and popliteal parts of the sock body, that is, detachable elastic parts are installed at the sapheno-femoral vein valve and sapheno-popliteal vein valve of the lower limbs of the human body to apply pressure. In clinical practice, it is found that installing a local 1 cm thick elastic part at the superficial venous valve can have a good effect in preventing reflux. The sapheno-femoral vein valve is mainly distributed at the midpoint of the groin, and the sapheno-popliteal vein valve is mainly distributed in the center of the popliteal fossa. Therefore, local pressure is applied to the elastic part with a sheet structure that is thick in the middle and thin around, which can prevent the cause of the disease without affecting the wearer's daily activities.

[0020] By designing the elastic part to be detachable and placed in the pouch, silicone pads or sponge pads of different thicknesses or models can be replaced according to the degree of venous valve dilation of the patient; the pads can be detached when the patient needs daily activities, and can be filled in as needed when treatment is needed or there are activities such as standing for a long time and other activities that pose a risk of vascular pressure;

[0021] By using double-layer elastic fabric of the pantyhose body and elastic parts to apply pressure in the inner thigh-abdomen-buttocks area, it can accurately pressurize the great saphenous vein and reduce abdominal pressure, which can prevent varicose veins of the great saphenous vein and reduce the risk of blood reflux obstruction in the lower limbs. It can improve the tightness of the outer thigh muscles and enhance the wearer's usage experience, while also having a more scientific and precise preventive effect.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an elastic stocking for preventing varicose veins of the lower limbs, the elastic stocking comprises a stocking body 11 and a trouser opening 10 arranged at the upper end of the stocking body 11, the stocking body 11 comprises a stocking belly 2 located at the upper front part of the stocking body, a stocking groin part 3 located below the stocking belly 2, a stocking buttock 5 located at the upper back part of the stocking body, a thigh inner part 4 located at the inner side of the upper part of the trouser leg, and a popliteal fossa part 6 located at the connection between the calf and the thigh; Figure 3 As shown, elastic devices 7 are provided on the abdomen 2, groin 3, buttocks 5, inner thigh 4 and popliteal fossa 6 of the sock body. The elastic device 7 and the sock body 11 form a double layer of elastic fabric pressurization at a specific position, which has a good effect of preventing blood from flowing back in the venous system, thereby protecting the venous valve function and preventing venous dilatation.

[0034] It should be noted that varicose veins of the lower limbs are usually caused by blood backflow in the veins. In the lower limb venous system of the human body, there are a series of venous valves that help maintain blood flow toward the heart and prevent backflow. Among them, the sapheno-femoral valve mainly distributed in the center of the groin and the sapheno-popliteal valve mainly distributed in the center of the popliteal fossa are two important valves. Therefore, elastic devices are set in the groin and popliteal parts of the pantyhose body to form local pressure at specific positions. It can prevent the cause of the disease without affecting the wearer's daily activities. Therefore, intervention in this area is of great significance.

[0035] We all know that the saphenous-popliteal valve is located at the junction of the saphenous vein in the calf and the popliteal vein on the dorsal side of the calf. This valve helps prevent the backflow of blood in the calf venous system; the saphenous-femoral valve is located at the junction of the saphenous vein in the thigh and the deep vein femoral vein on the inner side of the thigh. Therefore, elastic devices are set on the inner thigh, abdomen, and buttocks of the pantyhose body to help prevent the backflow of blood in the femoral venous system and reduce the venous return pressure of the lower limbs. It has the effect of accurately pressurizing the great saphenous vein and reducing abdominal pressure, which can prevent varicose veins of the great saphenous vein and reduce the risk of blood return obstruction in the lower limbs. It improves the tightness of the outer thigh muscles and enhances the user experience while having a more scientific and precise preventive function.

[0036] As another example, Figure 3 As shown, the elastic device 7 includes a bag 70 connected to the pantyhose body and an elastic member 71 detachably placed in the bag 70. The elastic member 71 is preferably but not limited to a detachable silicone pad or sponge pad. The shape of the bag 70 is designed based on the ergonomic blood vessel direction.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the bag 70 includes a first bag side body 701 and a second bag side body 702 correspondingly connected to the first bag side body, and the second bag side body 702 and the first bag side body 701 form a built-in cavity for placing the elastic member 71.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to achieve better pressure on the central position of a specific position of the lower limb and improve the comfort of the wearer, the elastic member is preferably but not limited to being designed as a sheet structure with a thick middle and thin edges.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the first bag side body 701 and the pantyhose body are an integral connection.

[0040] As another preferred embodiment, the first bag side body and the pantyhose body are not an integral connecting part, but are connected to the pantyhose body by sewing and weaving the peripheral edges thereof.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate putting on and taking off of the elastic stockings, a zipper structure 1 is provided below the trouser opening on the front side of the stocking body 11 , and one end of the zipper structure 1 is provided on the trouser opening 10 .

[0042] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an elastic device, which includes the elastic device of the elastic stockings for preventing varicose veins of the lower limbs described in any of the above embodiments.

[0043] In summary, the present application avoids the technical problems of existing elastic stockings in protecting venous valve function and preventing venous dilatation due to establishing the highest support pressure at the ankle by arranging elastic devices on the abdomen, groin, buttocks, inner thigh and popliteal fossa of the socks body.

[0044] Specifically, the design of the elastic stockings of the present application is based on the engineering of human vascular structure and the direction of blood vessels, and is targeted at the pathogenesis of varicose veins of the lower limbs. It can be used to prevent the progression of the disease in patients who stand for a long time or have high venous pressure in the lower limbs, patients with venous valve insufficiency in the lower limbs, and patients undergoing treatment for lower limb thrombosis. At the same time, it can reduce the tightness of the thighs, improve the wearer's use experience and the tolerance time of the elastic stockings. By improving and designing specific pressure points on the basis of existing elastic stockings, it has the following improvement advantages:

[0045] Elastic devices are installed in the groin and popliteal parts of the sock body, that is, detachable elastic parts are installed at the sapheno-femoral vein valve and sapheno-popliteal vein valve of the lower limbs of the human body to apply pressure. In clinical practice, it is found that installing a local 1 cm thick elastic part at the superficial venous valve can have a good effect in preventing reflux. The sapheno-femoral vein valve is mainly distributed at the midpoint of the groin, and the sapheno-popliteal vein valve is mainly distributed in the center of the popliteal fossa. Therefore, local pressure is applied to the elastic part with a sheet structure that is thick in the middle and thin around, which can prevent the cause of the disease without affecting the wearer's daily activities.

[0046] By designing the elastic part to be detachable and placed in the pouch, silicone pads or sponge pads of different thicknesses or models can be replaced according to the degree of venous valve dilation of the patient; the pads can be removed when the patient needs to engage in daily activities, and can be filled in as needed when treatment is needed or there are activities that put the patient at risk of vascular pressure, such as standing for a long time.

[0047] By using double-layer elastic fabric of the pantyhose body and elastic parts to apply pressure in the inner thigh-abdomen-buttocks area, it can accurately pressurize the great saphenous vein and reduce abdominal pressure, which can prevent varicose veins of the great saphenous vein and reduce the risk of blood reflux obstruction in the lower limbs. It can improve the tightness of the outer thigh muscles and enhance the wearer's usage experience, while also having a more scientific and precise preventive effect.
