Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a multifunctional breast cancer postoperative bra for preventing upper limb lymphedema. [Background Technology]

[0002] Traditional breast cancer surgeries are usually divided into modified radical mastectomy, radical resection, breast-conserving surgery, expander implantation surgery, etc. After breast cancer surgery, standardized compression of the surgical area is one of the key operations to reduce complications such as postoperative bleeding, effusion, hematoma, and lymphatic leakage in the surgical wound area. At present, cotton pads and pressure chest belts are often used in clinical practice to apply pressure to the patient's wound. For patients who have undergone permanent prosthesis implantation in stage I or re-implantation of the prosthesis after expander implantation, a compression chest belt is usually used to fix the prosthesis to prevent it from shifting upward or laterally. At the same time, a common complication after modified radical mastectomy or radical resection is upper limb lymphedema. However, the existing technology cannot solve the above problems as a whole, and the following problems exist:

[0003] 1. Currently, the existing breast cancer postoperative compression chest belts and breast cancer postoperative nursing clothes do not have forward-looking preventive nursing facilities for the edema of the upper limb after breast cancer surgery. Waiting for the patient to develop edema on the affected upper limb before dealing with it separately is not conducive to the patient's postoperative care and treatment, and also has a negative impact on the doctor-patient relationship.

[0004] 2. When using a conventional compression chest strap, medical staff need to repeat the steps of loosening and applying pressure when observing the wound and changing the dressing, which is not only detrimental to medical work efficiency but also increases the pain of the patient.

[0005] Due to the diversity of breast cancer surgical procedures, the specific surgical procedure is often determined based on the intraoperative results. Currently, common chest straps have a single function and cannot solve the problem of postoperative upper limb edema in patients. Therefore, a multifunctional bra is urgently needed in this field. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a multifunctional breast cancer postoperative bra for preventing upper limb lymphedema, which can solve the problem of edema of the affected upper limb of patients after surgery. The low-elastic sleeve on the healthy side can be converted into a prosthesis fixation belt and an affected upper limb restraint belt at the same time, saving economic costs while meeting the postoperative care requirements of different breast cancer surgical procedures.

[0007] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0008] A multifunctional breast cancer postoperative bra for preventing upper limb lymphedema, comprising:

[0009] A compression chest belt, wherein the two ends of the compression chest belt are detachably connected to each other, and the breast areas on both sides of the compression chest belt are respectively provided with breast care shields, and the bottom of each breast care shield is provided with an openable and closable care window;

[0012] Furthermore, the detachable connection is a Velcro connection or a snap-on connection.

[0013] Furthermore, the nursing window at the bottom of the breast care cover is opened and closed by a zipper, buttons or rope ties.

[0014] Furthermore, the two side endpoints of the nursing window are respectively located above the mid-axillary line and at the manubrium of the sternum.

[0015] Furthermore, a first connecting portion is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the low-elasticity sleeve, and the first connecting portion cooperates with the connecting belt of the shoulder of the low-elasticity sleeve and is detachably connected to each other.

[0016] Furthermore, one of the first connecting portion and the connecting belt is a child Velcro, and the other is a mother Velcro.

[0017] Furthermore, a sleeve opening closing structure is provided at the lower end of the low-elasticity sleeve.

[0018] Furthermore, the sleeve opening closing structure includes buttons and holes, and the buttons and holes are respectively located on both sides of the lower end sleeve opening of the low-elasticity sleeve.

[0019] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. The utility model is composed of a compression chest belt and bilateral low-elasticity sleeves as the main body to form a multifunctional bra. The low-elasticity sleeve has a connecting belt at the humeral end, which can be detachably connected to the shoulder strap on the corresponding side by means of Velcro or the like. After lymph node dissection, when the patient has lymphedema on the affected upper limb, the low-elasticity sleeve can be worn to promote lymphatic return and avoid the occurrence of lymphedema on the affected limb. The low-elasticity sleeve is fixed to the shoulder strap through the connecting belt to prevent it from falling off, and at the same time, it can avoid secondary injury caused by abduction of the affected limb. When it is not needed When wearing the low-elasticity sleeve, it can be detached or used as an elastic band: the connecting strap is separated from the shoulder strap, the low-elasticity sleeve is removed, and the lower cuff opening of the low-elasticity sleeve is closed using the cuff opening closure structure. The two ends are then wrapped from the back to the upper chest and the connecting strap is adhered to the first connecting portion. This converts the low-elasticity sleeve into an elastic band, which can be used to secure and apply pressure to the prosthesis of the implanted patient to prevent it from moving. It can also be passed over the affected upper limb to restrict movement. Alternatively, it can be folded and tied to the chest strap to hide it, acting as a pressure bandage and improving patient comfort.

[0021] 2. The compression chest strap of this utility model is connected to two extended shoulder straps at the shoulder blades, which can be extended to the breasts and fixed with Velcro. It can not only pressurize and fix the chest, but also limit the low-elasticity sleeve when used as an elastic band.

[0022] 3. This utility model features two nursing windows on either side of the breast area of the compression chest belt. Medical staff only need to open the nursing windows to observe the wound and perform clinical procedures without having to unbutton the entire bra. Furthermore, wound drainage tubes, which are routinely placed after breast cancer surgery, can be passed through the nursing windows, ensuring smooth drainage. Furthermore, for patients with implanted prostheses, the thickness of the compression dressing can be adjusted based on the size of the prosthesis through the nursing windows, thus avoiding the excessive pressure on the prosthesis caused by conventional compression chest belts.

[0023] In summary, the utility model combines a compression chest belt with a low-elasticity sleeve to design a multifunctional bra. The low-elasticity sleeve on the healthy side can be converted into a prosthesis fixation belt and an affected upper limb restraint belt at the same time, which saves economic costs while meeting the postoperative care requirements of different breast cancer surgical procedures.
