[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the indicated orientation or position relationship is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or is the orientation or position relationship in which the product of the application is usually placed when in use, or is the orientation or position relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does 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 application.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figure 3-4 As shown, a nipple-areola positioning and measurement device comprises a positioning ruler 1, a first soft ruler 2-1, a second soft ruler 2-2, and an areola measuring device 3. The positioning ruler 1 is arrow-shaped, with the arrowhead pointing downward. It has an adhesive layer on the back and scale lines on the front edge, with the apex at the zero scale starting point. A slide 4 is provided along the centerline of the positioning ruler 1, and a slider 5 is slidably connected within the slide 4. The areola measuring device 3 comprises a circular ring and at least three connecting rods 6. The length of the three connecting rods 6 is equal to the inner radius of the ring. One end of the three connecting rods 6 is evenly connected to the inner wall of the ring and the other end is connected to the center of the ring. A positioning post 7 is provided at the center. One end of the first soft ruler 2-1 is rotatably connected to the apex of the positioning ruler 1, and one end of the second soft ruler 2-2 is rotatably connected to the slider 5. The first and second soft rulers 2-1 and 2-2 have positioning holes 8 arranged along their lengths, which mate with the positioning posts 7. The first and second soft rulers 2-1 and 2-2 are provided with scale lines. Preferably, the inner diameter of the ring is 4 cm and the outer diameter is 5 cm.

[0026] like Figure 1-2As shown, when using, first paste the positioning ruler 1 along the sternal midline, with the top of the positioning ruler 1 located at the sternal notch. Calculate its relative position to the sternum and the sternal notch according to the pre-designed nipple position, and move the slider 5 to the corresponding position. Since the gap between the slider 5 and the chute 4 is provided with an anti-slip strip, it has good braking performance under the effect of no external force. After determining the measurement distance of the two soft rulers, the other ends of the two areolas are crossed, and the intersection is the nipple position. After determining the nipple position on one side, the two crossed soft rulers are flipped together toward the other side of the positioning ruler 1 to determine the nipple position on the other side, and ensure that the nipples on both sides are symmetrical and accurately positioned. After determining the nipple position, the locating hole 8 at the intersection of the two soft rulers is fixed to the positioning post 7 of the areola measuring device 3. With the nipple (locating post) as the center of circle, draw a new areola along the inner diameter or outer diameter of the areola measuring device 3. The size of the areola measuring device 3 can be selected accordingly according to the size of the areola drawn.

[0027] The positioning ruler 1 is 20-30 cm long, preferably 25 cm long.

[0028] The two preferred tape measures are both 1 cm wide tension-free tape measures that cannot be stretched to avoid deformation during measurement and resulting in inaccurate data.

[0029] Preferably, the tape measure is made of fiber material and the areola measuring device 3 is made of plastic, and both are non-stretchable.

[0030] The positioning ruler 1 is made of a soft material and can fit well on human skin. The adhesive layer is a medical skin-friendly self-adhesive layer to avoid skin allergies.

[0031] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, technicians familiar with the field may make various corresponding changes and modifications based on the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
