[0002] Breast cancer is a common malignancy that originates from mammary ductal or lobular epithelial cells. It primarily develops, spreads, and metastasizes through hormonal signaling pathways. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing breast cancer. Surgery is one of the most common treatments for breast cancer. Following radical breast cancer surgery, a chest bandage is often used to apply pressure to promote wound healing.

[0003] Because the chest becomes flat after radical mastectomy, the height of the two sides of the chest is no longer consistent compared to the healthy side. The commonly used chest strap material is elastic bandage, which will exert pressure on both sides of the chest. However, when the pressure of the elastic chest strap is applied to both sides of the chest, there may be a situation where the pressure on the chest of the postoperative side is insufficient, resulting in fluid or air accumulation under the skin flap on one side of the patient, affecting wound healing and treatment effect. At the same time, the pressure exerted by the elastic chest strap on the healthy side of the chest may be too great, causing discomfort to the patient. Therefore, the utility model provides an inflatable chest fixation belt to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the existing elastic chest belt for rehabilitation after breast cancer surgery, the present utility model is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an inflatable chest fixation belt, which solves the problem that when the pressure of the traditional chest belt is applied to both sides of the chest, there may be insufficient pressure on one side of the chest after surgery, which may lead to the formation of fluid or air accumulation under the skin flap on the affected side, affecting wound healing and treatment effect; at the same time, the pressure applied by the elastic chest belt on the healthy side of the chest may be too great, causing the patient to feel uncomfortable.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An inflatable chest strap comprises a fixed chest strap, fixed shoulder straps are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the fixed chest strap, the two ends of the fixed chest strap are fixedly connected by a plurality of connecting straps, a bra shell is provided on the surfaces of both ends of the fixed chest strap, and a pressure component is provided on the inner wall of the bra shell;

[0008] The pressurizing component includes an airbag cushion, a connecting air pipe, a rubber balloon, and an air pressure regulating valve. The airbag cushion is fixedly bonded to the inner wall of the bra shell, and the airbag cushion is connected to the rubber balloon through the connecting air pipe. An air pressure regulating valve is provided at the connection between the connecting air pipe and the rubber balloon.

[0009] Preferably, arc-shaped storage protective shells are fixedly installed on both side surfaces of the fixed chest strap, and rubber balloons are placed in the arc-shaped storage protective shells.

[0010] Preferably, a battery pack is fixedly mounted on the front surface of the fixed chest strap.

[0011] Preferably, the battery pack is connected to the heating guide wire through a wire, the wire is wrapped and fixed on the surface of the fixed chest strap through a wrapping belt, a temperature monitoring probe is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bra shell, the heating guide wire is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bra shell, and the outside of the heating guide wire is wrapped with an insulation layer.

[0012] Preferably, the battery pack and the temperature monitoring probe are both connected to an external controller.

[0013] Preferably, a mesh hole is opened in the connecting belt.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:

[0015] The utility model provides airbag cushions in the bra shells on both sides of the fixed chest strap, and the airbag cushions are connected to the rubber balloon through a connecting trachea, and an air pressure regulating valve is provided at the connection between the connecting trachea and the rubber balloon. When in use, after the patient wears the fixed chest strap, the size of the airbag cushion corresponding to the outer side of the chest can be adjusted according to the postoperative chest, so that the airbag cushion can squeeze the postoperative chest. This chest strap can not only effectively prevent fluid and air accumulation under the skin flap, make the skin flap close to the chest wall, promote skin flap survival and wound healing, but also avoid excessive squeezing of the other side of the chest, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the patient.

[0016] The utility model provides a heating guide wire on the inner wall of the bra shell, and covers the outer side of the heating guide wire with an insulating layer. When in use, medical staff can adjust the temperature of the heating guide wire by the battery pack through an external controller, so that the inside of the bra remains warm, which helps the patient's postoperative recovery and improves the recovery effect.
