[0026] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the utility model described above can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.
[0027] The utility model provides a clothes for relieving swelling of upper limbs, which comprises a clothes body, a navel part, a limiting pocket, a connecting surface, a limiting surface, a zipper, a heat preservation layer and a shoulder strap. Figures 1 to 2As shown in the accompanying drawings, the clothes for relieving swelling of upper limbs aims to solve the shortcoming of the existing arm sling which is easy to cause attention and trouble to patients.
[0028] The clothes for relieving swelling of upper limbs mainly comprises a clothes body 100, a limiting pocket 200 and a shoulder strap 300. It should be noted that the up, down, front, back, left and right directions in the following are the directions of the patient after wearing the clothes body 100.
[0029] The limiting pocket 200 is arranged at the front of the outer surface of the clothes body 100, and the limiting pocket 200 is located above the navel part 110 of the patient. The limiting pocket 200 has a limiting hole arranged horizontally along the left-right direction, which is used for sleeving the upper limb of the patient to limit the upper limb.
[0030] In actual use, the clothes body 100 is worn by the patient. The patient can insert the left affected limb from the left side of the limiting hole or the right affected limb from the right side of the limiting hole. The affected limb can or can not pass through the limiting hole, and the specific posture can be selected by the patient. At this time, the affected limb is partially located in the limiting hole. Since the limiting hole is located above the navel part 110 of the patient, the affected limb of the patient is located above the navel part 110 of the patient to elevate the affected limb and relieve the swelling of the upper limb. Preferably, the limiting pocket 200 is arranged above the heart level of the patient, so that the patient elevates the affected limb above the heart level to better relieve the swelling of the upper limb.
[0031] The shoulder strap 300 is arranged in the clothes body 100, and the surface of the shoulder strap 300 facing the clothes body 100 is connected with the clothes body 100. One end of the shoulder strap 300 is connected with the shoulder part of the clothes body 100, and the other end of the shoulder strap 300 penetrates through the clothes body 100 and is connected with the upper end of the limiting pocket 200.
[0032] In actual use, the shoulder strap 300 is arranged in the clothes body 100, and the patient does not need to adjust the position of the shoulder strap 300 when wearing the clothes body 100. Since the surface of the shoulder strap 300 facing the clothes body 100 is connected with the clothes body 100, when the limiting pocket 200 is subjected to the gravity of the affected limb, the limiting pocket 200 can disperse the gravity of the affected limb to the clothes body 100 through the shoulder strap 300. Since one end of the shoulder strap 300 is connected with the shoulder part of the clothes body 100, the gravity of the affected limb can be applied to the shoulder of the patient through the shoulder strap 300, so that the clothes body 100 is not subjected to the pulling force and is not pulled too much, thereby affecting the appearance. Specifically, the style of the clothes body 100 is not limited, and is preferably a daily clothes or a hospital gown.
[0033] Healthcare professionals typically recommend that patients use arm slings to elevate the affected limb above heart level and alleviate upper limb swelling. For example, patent CN207236894U discloses a post-operative breast cancer rehabilitation sling containing inner and outer neck slings and inner and outer chest slings. The inner and outer neck slings, folded in half and suspended above the patient's head and neck, elevate the affected limb to promote blood flow and reduce edema. However, both existing arm slings and post-operative breast cancer rehabilitation slings are too conspicuous and easily attract attention, potentially causing distress to introverted patients and reducing their adherence to using arm slings.
[0034] This utility model, by setting a limiting pocket 200, can limit the patient's affected limb, thereby elevating the affected limb and relieving upper limb swelling. The limiting pocket 200 can provide tension through the clothing body 100 and the shoulder strap 300 to support the affected limb. Since the shoulder strap 300 is built into the clothing body 100, its appearance is not much different from ordinary clothing, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others, which can improve the compliance of introverted patients with this application.
[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the limiting pocket 200 includes a connecting surface 210 and a limiting surface 220.
[0036] The connecting surface 210 is connected to the outer surface of the garment body 100, and the shoulder strap 300 is connected to the connecting surface 210. The limiting surface 220 is connected to the connecting surface 210 to form a first ring structure. The first ring structure is used to fit on the patient's upper limb to limit the upper limb.
[0037] Preferably, the connecting surface 210 fits snugly against the garment body 100, and the limiting surface 220 protrudes from the garment body 100, forming a larger limiting hole to facilitate the patient to put on the affected limb.
[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the limiting pocket 200 also includes a zipper 230, which is connected between the connecting surface 210 and the limiting surface 220. The lower end of the connecting surface 210 and the lower end of the limiting surface 220 are detachably connected by the zipper 230.
[0039] In practical use, when the patient's limb edema is severe enough to restrict movement, the connecting surface 210 and the limiting surface 220 can be separated by the zipper 230, allowing the affected limb to enter between the connecting surface 210 and the limiting surface 220 from bottom to top. Then, tightening the zipper 230 connects the connecting surface 210 and the limiting surface 220, thus limiting the movement of the affected limb. Specifically, when the affected limb is located within the limiting hole, a fabric or other material can be placed between the zipper 230 and the affected limb to isolate them and improve patient comfort.
[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The zipper 230 is a reverse opening zipper 230.
[0041] Specifically, the reverse opening zipper 230 is a conventional structure, such as the reverse opening zipper disclosed in CN102655779A, which includes two sliders. By the two sliders, the reverse opening zipper 230 can be pulled open from the left side or the right side, so that the connecting surface 210 and the limiting surface 220 can be separated from the left side or the right side to adapt to the use of the affected limb of the patient in different directions. When the affected limb is the left limb, the left zipper 230 of the reverse opening zipper 230 can be pulled open to the right, so that the two sliders are located on the right side of the reverse opening zipper 230. At this time, the affected limb can be easily moved between the connecting surface 210 and the limiting surface 220. Since the two sliders will not be detached from the reverse opening zipper 230, the left zipper 230 can be easily pulled to the left at this time to connect the connecting surface 210 and the limiting surface 220.
[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 2 The two ends of the shoulder strap 300 are connected with the connecting surface 210 respectively, and the shoulder strap 300 and the connecting surface 210 form a second loop structure, which is used to be sleeved on the shoulder of the patient to provide support for the connecting surface 210.
[0043] In actual use, the upper end of the second loop structure is in contact with the shoulder of the patient, and the shoulder can provide a pulling force to the second loop structure, so that most of the weight of the affected limb is borne by the shoulder, avoiding the deformation of the clothes caused by excessive force, so as to maintain the appearance of the clothes body 100, which is not easy to attract the attention of others, and can improve the compliance of the introverted patient using the present application.
[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 2 The two ends of the shoulder strap 300 are connected with the connecting surface 210 respectively, and the shoulder strap 300 and the connecting surface 210 form a second loop structure, which is used to be sleeved on the shoulder of the patient to provide support for the connecting surface 210.
[0045] In some embodiments, the two shoulder straps 300 are arranged in cross.
[0046] In actual use, the cross part of the two shoulder straps 300 is located on the back of the patient. By arranging the two shoulder straps 300 in cross, when the affected limb is placed in the limiting hole, the connecting surface 210 can be subjected to pulling forces to the left and right in addition to the upward pulling force, so as to limit the position of the connecting surface 210. Moreover, the cross arrangement of the two shoulder straps 300 can well avoid the movement of the two shoulder straps 300 away from the patient, resulting in the falling off of the two shoulder straps 300.
[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 2As shown in FIG. 1, two ends of each of the shoulder straps 300 are connected to the upper end and the left and right ends of the connection surface 210, respectively. The position of the connection surface 210 can be better limited, and the two shoulder straps 300 are prevented from moving away from the patient, which can cause the two shoulder straps 300 to fall off.
[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the clothing body 100 is provided with a plurality of elastic bands 110, and the elastic bands 110 are arranged on the left and right sides of the clothing body 100. Figures 1 to 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the limiting pocket 200 further comprises a heat preservation layer 240 arranged on the inner surface of the first annular structure. When the patient applies cold compress or hot compress, the heat preservation layer 240 can reduce heat exchange and prolong the time of cold compress or hot compress.
[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the elastic coefficient of the clothing body 100 is less than the elastic coefficient of the shoulder straps 300. Thus, when the deformation degree of the shoulder straps 300 and the clothing body 100 is the same, the pulling force provided by the shoulder straps 300 is greater than the pulling force provided by the clothing body 100. Figures 1 to 2
[0050] In summary, the clothing for relieving swelling of upper limbs is provided, which comprises a clothing body, a limiting pocket and shoulder straps. The limiting pocket is arranged in front of the outer surface of the clothing body and is located above the navel of the patient. The limiting pocket has a limiting hole arranged horizontally along the left-right direction. The shoulder straps are arranged in the clothing body and are connected to the surface of the clothing body. One end of the shoulder straps is connected to the shoulder of the clothing body, and the other end of the shoulder straps penetrates through the clothing body and is connected to the upper end of the limiting pocket. The limiting pocket can limit the affected limb of the patient to elevate the affected limb and relieve swelling of the upper limbs. The limiting pocket can provide pulling force through the clothing body and the shoulder straps to support the affected limb. Since the shoulder straps are arranged in the clothing body, the appearance is less different from ordinary clothes, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others, which can improve the compliance of introverted patients using the present application.
[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments are not required to be exhausted, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
