Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bras, in particular to a pressure bra after breast reconstruction surgery. Background Art

[0002] For breast cancer patients, surgical removal of the lesion is the main means of treating breast cancer. However, as a secondary sexual characteristic of women, breasts are vital to women. Surgical removal of the breast will seriously affect the appearance and body shape, so breast reconstruction has become the preferred method to make up for breast defects. The more recommended breast reconstruction is latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap combined with prosthetic breast reconstruction. Simply put, while removing the lesioned breast, the patient's own latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is combined with silicone prosthetic material to cover the original lesion area, simulating a "breast" shape similar to the shape and size of the contralateral breast, in order to achieve the purpose of modifying the appearance and body shape.

[0003] However, when the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is artificially moved from its original anatomical position, a large cavity will be formed, which will cause a common complication after latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap combined with prosthetic breast reconstruction - donor site seroma. Seroma will form a chronic infection focus, affecting the healing of the local incision. In severe cases, it can cause necrosis of the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and lead to surgical failure, which will bring a heavy blow to the patient physically and financially. The method to prevent and treat seroma is to close the cavity with local pressure and fully drain the cavity with a drainage tube. The pressure time needs to be 7-20 days depending on the condition.

[0004] At present, bras are often used in clinical practice to apply pressure to breast wounds to stop bleeding, but there is no effective method for back pressure application. A simple method commonly used is to use a towel or cushion to pad the donor area on the patient's back, and then ask the patient to lie flat for a long time, relying on his own weight to achieve the effect of local pressure application. This method is relatively rough, greatly restricts the patient's activities, greatly reduces the patient's comfort, and violates the early rehabilitation method of getting out of bed and moving under the concept of rapid recovery, greatly increasing the risk of lower extremity venous thrombosis and bedsores.

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of 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.

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "circumferential" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0020] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 2 The bra shown is a post-breast reconstruction pressure bra, comprising a back piece 1 and a front piece 5. The back piece 1 and the front piece 5 are made of elastic material. Specifically, the latissimus dorsi muscle in the human body is located under the skin of the back and the back and outside of the chest. Therefore, in order to enable the bra to exert pressure on both the breast and the latissimus dorsi muscle, the bra is made into a structure similar to a vest.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, two pressure airbags 2 are arranged side by side, one on the left and one on the right, on the inner side of the back piece 1 of the bra, and each pressure airbag 2 is provided with a trachea 3, and a pipe plug 4 is provided on the trachea 3. After opening the pipe plug 4, the pressure airbag 2 is inflated and deflated through the trachea 3, so that the expansion degree of the pressure airbag 2 can be adjusted, and then the pressure degree of the pressure airbag 2 on the latissimus dorsi muscle can be adjusted, so that seroma in the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap donor area can be prevented, and the patient can achieve the effect of local back pressure without lying flat for a long time.

[0023] Moreover, there are two pressure airbags 2 in this solution, one on the left and one on the right, corresponding to the positions of the latissimus dorsi muscles on the left and right sides of the back. The two pressure airbags 2 are independent of each other and do not affect each other. Therefore, the corresponding pressure airbag 2 can be selected and used according to the position of the latissimus dorsi muscles of the patient for surgery, which is flexible and convenient.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a transverse dividing strip 6 is provided on the front piece 5 of the bra, and the dividing strip 6 divides the front piece 5 of the bra into two parts, a bra piece 7 located on the upper side and a waist and abdomen piece 8 located on the lower side. Both the bra piece 7 and the waist and abdomen piece 8 are of a left-right split structure, and the split parts of the two are respectively provided with connecting parts with adjustable tightness, and the left and right sides of the bra piece 7 are respectively provided with protruding cups 9.

[0025] For the front piece 5 of the bra, in order to achieve pressure hemostasis of the breast wound and not affect the normal wearing of the bra, the front piece 5 of the bra adopts an upper and lower split design, the upper side is a bra piece 7 with a cup 9, and the lower side is a waist and abdomen piece 8. Both pieces adopt a split structure, and an adjustable tightness connector is provided at the split, so it is convenient to adjust the tightness of the two pieces according to actual needs. The connector used is a common row of buckles 10, which is convenient to use and adjust.

[0026] In summary, this bra can achieve pressure hemostasis on the breast wound and pressure on the latissimus dorsi muscle on the affected side, thereby preventing seroma in the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap donor area and achieving local pressure without the patient lying flat for a long time, thereby improving the patient's comfort and reducing the risk of postoperative lower limb venous thrombosis and bedsores.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
