Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of maternal and infant products, in particular to a postpartum nipple protection cover. Background Art
[0002] Improper breastfeeding posture, overly large nipples, undersized nipples, inverted nipples, etc., will affect the baby's effective nipple attachment, leading to nipple swelling, cracking, pain, etc., which will make the mother lose confidence in breastfeeding, leading to emotional instability and poor rest after delivery;
[0003] Clinically, nipple cream is widely used to relieve nipple pain, but there is still a strong sense of tenderness when clothing touches the damaged nipple, and the nipple cream will fall off, which is not conducive to the patient's recovery. Disposable cups have to be used to cover the nipples for protection. The cups are not easy to fix and have disadvantages such as being airtight, unsightly, and wasting resources. Therefore, the utility model provides a postpartum nipple protection cover to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a postpartum nipple protection cover, which solves the technical problems that the traditional postpartum nipple protection method uses a disposable cup to cover the nipple for protection, the cup is not easy to fix, and has the disadvantages of being airtight, unsightly, and wasting resources.
[0005] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A postpartum nipple protection shield comprises a silicone body, the top of the silicone body is densely covered with ventilation holes, the edge of the silicone body is equidistantly provided with a plurality of connecting feet, and the reverse side of the connecting feet is provided with a gel layer.
[0007] Beneficial effects: The postpartum nipple protector uses a semicircular silicone body that fits the shape of the breast, improving comfort. It is raised about 2 cm from the nipple, effectively blocking direct contact with clothing. The top is designed with ventilation holes to avoid stuffiness and airtightness. The silicone body is surrounded by a soft gel layer that fits the skin and is not easy to fall off. It can be washed and reused repeatedly, reducing waste. The partition flap can enhance the support effect, and the gel block and gel layer can also cool down the body, thereby relieving milk engorgement. It can improve the comfort of the mother, relieve discomfort, and increase the success rate of breastfeeding.
[0008] Furthermore, the cross-section of the silica gel body is a semicircular structure, and its height is not less than 2 cm.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting legs are in a strip, semicircular or triangular structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the silicone body is gradually narrowed from the edge to the center.
[0011] Furthermore, a ring-shaped partition is provided inside the silicone body. The partition is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and its thickness gradually narrows from bottom to top.
[0012] Furthermore, at least one gel block is embedded between the inner periphery of the silica gel body and the outer side of the septum, and the gel block is in a ring-shaped or arc-shaped structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0013] Figure 1 This is a structural cross-sectional view of a postpartum nipple protection shield embodiment 1 of the utility model;
[0014] Figure 2 This is a structural cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a postpartum nipple protection shield according to the present utility model.

[0016] The following is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope is not limited to this embodiment. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention should belong to the protection scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
[0017] Example 1, see Figure 1 As shown, a postpartum nipple protection shield includes a silicone body 1. The silicone material improves wearing comfort. The cross-section of the silicone body 1 is a semicircular structure, and its height is not less than 2 cm. The silicone body 1 is a bowl-shaped structure and can be inverted on the breast to protect the nipple. The thickness of the silicone body 1 is gradually narrowed from the edge to the center, which can ensure support and maximize the use of the internal space of the silicone body 1. The top of the silicone body 1 is densely covered with air holes 2 to ensure air permeability and avoid stuffiness. The edge of the silicone body 1 is evenly spaced with multiple connecting feet 3, and the connecting feet 3 protrude The silicone body 1 is independent of each other, so that the connecting foot 3 can be easily deformed to fit the breast structure, which can maximize the contact area and increase the connection effect. The connecting foot 3 is in a strip, semicircular or triangular structure. The connecting foot 3 is preferably a semicircular structure, and its appearance is similar to a flower, which is beautiful and cute. It is worth mentioning that the silicone body 1 can be designed in a variety of colors to meet the preferences of different people. A gel layer 4 is provided on the back of the connecting foot 3. The soft gel layer 4 fits the skin and is not easy to fall off. It can be repeatedly washed and reused, which reduces waste. The gel layer 4 can also play a role in cooling, thereby alleviating breast engorgement.
[0018] Example 2, see Figure 2As shown, different from Example 1, a diaphragm 5 with an annular structure is provided on the inner side of the silicone body 1, and at least one gel block 6 is embedded between the inner periphery of the silicone body 1 and the outer side of the diaphragm 5. The gel block 6 plays a good heat storage role and can be refrigerated in advance before use. Clamping it between the inner periphery of the silicone body 1 and the outer side of the diaphragm 5 can effectively enhance the cooling effect, thereby alleviating breast engorgement. The gel block 6 is annular or arc-shaped structure. The gel block 6 can be a whole annular structure, or a ring structure can be formed by splicing a plurality of gel blocks 6 with arc structures. The diaphragm 5 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and its thickness gradually narrows from bottom to top, so that the diaphragm 5 has excellent deformation ability. When worn, the wide diameter end of the diaphragm 5 squeezes the breast and expands outward, and the air between the inner periphery of the silicone body 1 and the outer side of the diaphragm 5 can be squeezed out during the wearing process. After the silicone body 1 and the diaphragm 5 are restored, the air pressure between the inner periphery of the silicone body 1 and the outer side of the diaphragm 5 is reduced, so that the silicone body 1 can be adsorbed on the breast, thereby improving stability.
[0019] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
