Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of obstetrics and gynecology medicine application, and particularly relates to a nipple depression corrector for breast-feeding. Background Art

[0002] Nipple inversion is one of the common physiological defects of women clinically, which brings various harms to patients. Nipple inversion is extremely likely to cause diseases such as nipple inflammation: long-term nipple inversion compresses the lymphatic vessels behind the areola, resulting in lymphatic reflux disorder and collagen tissue exudation. At the same time, due to nipple inversion, the epidermal cells shed from the nipple surface and the areola secretions cannot be cleared in time, which is easy to cause nipple and areola inflammation; nipple inversion affects the beauty of the breast: the breast is an important factor in the female body beauty, and nipple inversion makes the breast lose its due curve, affecting the beauty of the breast.

[0003] Especially during breast-feeding, nipple inversion seriously affects breast-feeding. Nipple inversion causes the newborn to be unable to latch on and suck the nipple, making it difficult or impossible to breast-feed after childbirth; mothers often use traditional negative pressure to suck out the inverted nipple. In order to prevent the nipple from inverting again, the baby needs to quickly latch on and suck the nipple to complete breast-feeding. Although this method can be achieved to a certain extent, the baby cannot accurately latch on to the nipple at one time, and multiple attempts are likely to affect the baby's feeding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0019] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the following disclosure.

[0020] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present embodiment aims to provide a nipple inverted corrector that can meet the needs of breastfeeding, so as to facilitate breastfeeding. To this end, the nipple inverted corrector for breastfeeding provided in the present embodiment comprises a breast pump 1 and a piston 11 arranged in the breast pump 1, a push rod 12 is arranged on the piston 11, and the push rod 12 extends out of the breast pump 1, and this structure becomes the structure of a syringe commonly used in medicine. An areola shield 2 is also arranged on the breast pump 1, and the areola shield 2 is arranged at one end of the breast pump 1, and the areola shield 2 is arranged at the end of the piston 11 away from the push rod 12. The above structure is an existing common structure, and therefore, in the present embodiment, it is not described in detail.

[0021] Considering that the main problem of nipple retraction is the lack of restriction, and the existing restriction affects the baby's sucking, in order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, an areola patch 3 is provided in the areola shield 2, and the areola patch 3 is a medical breathable patch. Therefore, the areola patch 3 can be pasted on breast milk, and the areola patch 3 can be detachably provided on the areola shield 2. There are many ways of separation, such as gluing. Since the areola patch 3 is to be attached to the breast, the areola patch 3 is provided in the shape of a side wall of a truncated cone, that is, it only includes the side wall part of the truncated cone, and the upper and lower parts are transparent.

[0022] In order to complete the clamping of the nipple, in this embodiment, a clamping piece 5 is provided at the top of the areola patch 3. The clamping piece 5 mainly seals the top of the areola patch 3 to reduce the size of the top opening of the areola patch 3, thereby completing the clamping of the nipple. For this purpose, the clamping pieces 5 are symmetrically and spaced apart on the areola patch 3. In this way, the distance between the two clamping pieces 5 forms a clamping opening for the nipple. To avoid causing trauma to the nipple, the material of the clamping piece 5 is transparent silicone. At the same time, the transparent silicone has a certain elasticity. Under the action of negative pressure, it will become slightly larger after clamping, facilitating the penetration of the nipple. And when the negative pressure disappears, it will clamp the nipple. The thickness of the clamping piece 5 does not exceed 2 mm, so that the nipple is exposed outside, which does not affect the baby's sucking. At the same time, the limitation of the clamping piece 5 also makes the retraction slower, playing a certain therapeutic role.

[0023] In order to make it more convenient for the areola patch 3 to be separated from the areola cover 2, in this embodiment, a connecting button 31 is provided on the areola patch 3. The connecting button 31 includes a fixing piece 311 provided on the inner side of the areola patch 3 and a connecting column 312 provided on the fixing piece 311. The connecting column 312 passes through the areola patch 3, and a connecting ball 313 is provided at the top of the connecting column 312. The connecting button 31 is similar to the structure of the metal connecting piece in the existing electrode patch. At the same time, a spring lock 4 is provided on the areola cover 2 and is matched with the connecting ball 313. The areola patch 3 is detachably arranged on the areola cover 2 through the cooperation of the connecting button 31 and the spring lock 4. Since the adhesive force is greater than the locking force of the spring lock 4, the areola cover 2 and the areola patch 3 can be easily separated.

[0024] In order to maintain the stability of the fixation, the connecting buttons 31 are evenly distributed on the areola patch 3. In this embodiment, a total of 6 are provided. The connecting button 31 also has the function of fixing the clamping piece 5 in this embodiment. Each clamping piece 5 is assigned 3 connecting buttons 31, so as to realize the fixation of the clamping piece 5.

[0025] In order to quickly detach the connecting button 31, a control mechanism can also be set up to achieve this. Specifically, the breast pump cylinder 1 is provided with a hollow structure, that is, the breast pump cylinder 1 is formed by buckling an inner and an outer shell. A pull rope 41 for pulling the spring lock 4 is provided in the sandwich layer of the breast pump cylinder 1. The pull rope 41 pulls the spring lock 4 open. At the same time, a fixed pulley 42 for guiding the pull rope 41 is provided in the sandwich layer of the breast pump cylinder 1. Considering that the most convenient way to pull is to pull down, for this purpose, in this embodiment, two fixed pulleys 42 are provided. A pull ring 43 is sleeved on the breast pump cylinder 1, and the pull ring 43 is connected to the end of the pull rope 41 away from the spring lock 4. The pull ring 43 is arranged between the two fixed pulleys 42. In this way, the spring lock 4 can be pulled by pulling down. Since the pull ring 43 is annularly arranged, 6 pull ropes 41 can be connected to the pull ring 43. Six pulls can be achieved at one time.

[0026] In order to remove the breast pump cylinder 1 more easily, a pressure relief pipe 13 is further provided on the breast pump cylinder 1, and a control valve 14 is provided on the pressure relief pipe 13. In this way, under the negative pressure state, the control valve 14 is opened to get out of the negative pressure state, so as to facilitate the removal of the breast pump cylinder 1.

[0027] Considering that the negative pressure needs to be sealed, relatively soft materials are better for sealing, while the setting of the spring lock 4 requires hard conditions. Therefore, the areola cover 2 includes a hard part 21 connected to the breast pump cylinder 1 and a soft part 22 provided on the side of the hard part 21 away from the breast pump cylinder 1. Among them, the material of the soft part 22 is transparent silica gel. The hard part 21 is integrally formed with the breast pump cylinder 1, and its material can be common medical plastics such as PC and PET. The connection between the soft part 22 and the hard part 21 can be adhesive bonding or clamping when the inner and outer shells are combined.

[0028] Through the above settings, the speed of nipple retraction can be effectively alleviated to meet the sucking needs of infants.

[0029] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not limitations on the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the technical content disclosed above to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
