Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to medical devices, specifically a dressing for breast augmentation. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity of breast augmentation surgery, the nipple is often in a period of ischemia and remodeling after the surgery. The pressure during bandaging can affect the blood supply and shape of the nipple, which can seriously affect the surgical outcome. Therefore, postoperative bandaging and care are particularly important.

[0003] Currently, after breast augmentation surgery, the dressing for the areola incision is made by manually cutting ordinary sterile gauze and securing it with regular adhesive tape. This method has poor breathability, easily causing skin allergies, itching, and discomfort. It is inconvenient to use, provides a poor patient experience, and puts significant pressure on the nipple, hindering postoperative recovery. Utility Model Content

[0028] The attached diagram lists the components represented by each number as follows:

[0029] 1. Base layer; 2. Avoidance hole; 3. Strip; 4. Drug zone; 5. Outer film. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a special dressing for breast augmentation includes a base layer 1, on which clearance holes 2 are provided. A contact layer is provided on one side of the base layer 1. The contact layer consists of several evenly arranged water ripple-shaped strips 3, with grooves between adjacent strips 3. A drug area 4 is provided around the clearance holes 2 on the side where the contact layer is located.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are: by applying traction or pressure to the skin through the dressing, the epidermal layer is lifted or wrinkled, which can increase the subcutaneous tissue gap, and the grooves between the strips 3 can create a pressure difference, promote subcutaneous blood and lymph return, prevent nipple necrosis, accelerate healing, and reduce edema.

[0034] Specifically, after a patient undergoes breast reduction or lift surgery, the surgical incision is usually made at the areola, and the nipple is often in a period of ischemia and remodeling, requiring the use of dressings for postoperative care.

[0035] In this embodiment, the avoidance hole 2 is used to avoid the nipple and reduce pressure. It can not only maintain the original upright shape of the nipple, but also increase the patient's comfort and reduce the probability of nipple necrosis. The dressing exerts traction or pressure on the skin through its own elasticity and adhesion to achieve the effects of fixation, support, promotion and relaxation, thereby promoting wound healing. Anti-inflammatory drugs are placed in the drug area 4, corresponding to the surgical incision at the areola.

[0036] The water ripple pattern creates a pressure difference between the strips 3. Compared to a smooth surface or a straight strip 3, the water ripple pattern can better integrate with the skin, make it easier to form wrinkles, increase the interstitial space, and evenly distribute pressure, which can reduce postoperative pain and speed up recovery.

[0037] Based on this embodiment, both the base layer 1 and the contact layer are made of sterile, highly breathable fabric with a certain degree of elasticity.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, based on Example 1, each strip 3 is provided with adhesive.

[0040] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that it enables the dressing to adhere stably to human skin.

[0041] Preferably, the adhesive is medical grade acrylic adhesive.

[0042] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: medical acrylic adhesive has strong adhesion, good durability and no irritation.

[0043] As a parallel technical solution in this embodiment, medical acrylic adhesive can also be replaced with other medical adhesive materials such as acrylic adhesive.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, based on Embodiments 1-2, the base layer 1 is provided with an outer film 5 on the other side of the contact layer.

[0046] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that the outer film 5 is used to protect the outer side of the base layer 1.

[0047] Preferably, the outer film 5 is made of a breathable and waterproof material.

[0048] The beneficial effects of the preferred solution in the above embodiments are: the outer film 5 prevents external water splashes from contaminating the dressing and also prevents the drug from seeping out from the inside of the dressing.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the contact layer is applied to human skin, the areola wound may secrete sweat and tissue fluid, and the medication may also become wetted and leak out, so isolation is necessary.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, based on Examples 1-3, the base layer 1 is an absorbent foam pad.

[0052] The beneficial effects of the preferred scheme in the above embodiments are: the base layer 1 has strong water absorption and can absorb the medicine, body fluid and tissue fluid that seep out from the dressing.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, based on embodiments 1-4, the radius of the clearance hole 2 is 1.5cm.

[0055] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that it fits the size of the nipple and prevents pressure on the nipple.

[0056] Example 6

[0057] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, based on Examples 1-5, the radius of the drug region 4 is 1.5cm to 2.5cm.

[0058] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that the drug area 4 is aligned with the surgical incision at the areola.

[0059] Example 7

[0060] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, based on embodiments 1-6, the edge of the base layer 1 is petal-shaped.

[0061] The advantages of the preferred solution in the above embodiments are: it prevents curling after use and allows for adjustment of the adhesion position.

[0062] Specifically, if the dressing edge is round, the edge of the base layer 1 may curl after use. The curling will gradually extend to the entire circumference, resulting in reduced adhesion and a worse patient experience.

[0063] In this embodiment, the edge of the base layer 1 is changed to a petal-shaped polygon, which fits the shape of the breast better and reduces the possibility of curling. Even if a certain edge curls, it will not extend to other petal positions due to the limitation of the petal outline.

[0064] Because the base layer 1 is elastic, each petal can be pulled. Depending on the location of the surgical incision, the adhesion position of the end of each petal can be adjusted. The further the pulling is, the greater the pulling force can be provided in that direction, ensuring good pressure on the wound and strong targeting.

[0065] Example 8

[0066] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, preferably, based on Examples 1-7, a protective film is attached to one side of the contact layer.

[0067] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that it protects the contact layer and the drug area from contamination before the dressing is used.

[0068] Specifically, to use it, simply tear off the protective film and attach it to the patient's body.
