Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary technology, and in particular to a device for measuring breast skin laxity. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, methods for measuring the difference in skin laxity between the two breasts involve stretching the nipple to measure its extensibility, thereby assessing breast skin laxity. However, there is no dedicated measuring tool. US Patent 8394020B2 discloses a skin laxity measurement system, but this system is not specifically designed for the breast and is not suitable for measuring breast skin laxity. Currently, breast skin laxity is often measured using a ruler, but this method has a relatively large error. This is mainly due to: 1. The ruler must be kept completely stationary during measurement, but in practice, the ruler is prone to wobbling. 2. It is difficult to maintain a consistent force when stretching the nipple; stronger stretching increases nipple extensibility, while weaker stretching decreases it, thus causing errors.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to provide a breast skin laxity measuring device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model will be further explained with reference to the following embodiments.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] A device for measuring breast skin laxity, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a ruler body 100 for supporting the sternal plane and measuring the skin laxity of the breast, a sliding part 200, a tension measuring part 300 for measuring the tension, and an adsorption part 400 for fixing to the nipple. The sliding part 200 is slidably fitted onto the ruler body 100, the tension measuring part 300 is assembled with the sliding part 200, and the adsorption part 400 is assembled with the tension measuring part 300. The sliding part 200 is perpendicular to the ruler body 100.

[0043] The suction unit 400 is provided with a suction cup 410 for fixing to the nipple, a connecting tube 420, and an adhesive layer (not shown in the figure) for adhering to the areola. One end of the connecting tube 420 is also assembled with the tension measuring unit 300, and the other end of the connecting tube 420 is connected to the suction cup 410. The adhesive layer is attached to the lower surface of the suction cup 410. The suction cup 410 is an elastic suction cup 410 that generates negative pressure through deformation, and the elastic suction cup 410 is detachably assembled to the other end of the connecting tube 420.

[0044] It should be noted that the adsorption part 400 of this utility model is fixed to the nipple by an adhesive layer, and the nipple and the adsorption part 400 are fixed by the deformation of the elastic suction cup 410.

[0045] like Figure 2 The tension measuring unit 300 includes a housing 310, a spring 320, a connecting rod 360, a pull ring 330, and an indicator needle 340. The spring 320 and connecting rod 360 are both located inside the housing 310. One end of the spring 320 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 310, and the other end of the spring 320 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 360. One end of the connecting rod 360 is fixed to the suction unit 400. The indicator needle 340 is fixedly mounted to the connecting rod 360. The pull ring 330 is fixedly connected to the housing 310. The sliding part 200 can slide through the housing 310, and the suction part 400 can move through the housing 310. The housing 310 has an elongated slot 311 with tension indicator graduations along its edge.

[0046] The sliding part 200 is provided with a sliding ruler 210, a sliding beam 220, and a fastening screw 230. The sliding ruler 210 is slidably fitted onto the outside of the ruler body 100. The sliding beam 220 is integrally connected to the sliding ruler 210. The fastening screw 230 passes through the sliding ruler 210 and abuts against the ruler body 100. The surface of the sliding ruler 210 is also provided with graduations, so the sliding ruler 210 can be used as a vernier ruler.

[0047] It should be noted that the function of the fastening screw 230 of this utility model is to lock the sliding ruler 210 and the ruler body 100 by the fastening screw 230 when measuring the height, to prevent displacement, and then the reading of the ruler body 100 can be read carefully and clearly, or when moving the breast skin laxity measuring device, the fastening screw 230 can lock the sliding part 200 and the ruler body 100 to prevent damage.

[0048] like Figure 3 The middle part of the slide beam 220 is provided with a slide groove 240 for the connecting rod 360 of the tension measuring part 300 and the adsorption part 400 to move left and right. The connecting rod 360 and the adsorption part 400 are located inside the slide groove 240; the surface of the slide ruler 210 is provided with a scale.

[0049] The ruler body 100 is provided with a measuring scale 110 and a base 120 for support at the plane of the sternum. The base 120 is integrally connected to the measuring scale 110. The surface of the measuring scale 110 is provided with graduations.

[0050] The method of using the breast skin laxity measuring device of this utility model is as follows: First, place the base 120 on the sternal plane, so that the ruler body 100 is perpendicular to the sternal plane. Then, move the tension measuring part 300 in the slide beam 220. Then, use the suction part 400 to fit against the nipple and areola, and read the reading A of the ruler body 100 at this time, where A is the nipple's convexity. Then, pull the tension measuring part 300 to pull the nipple. When the indicator needle 340 of the tension measuring part 300 shows that the target tension has been reached, read the reading B of the ruler body 100 at this time, where B is the nipple's convexity after stretching. The difference between B and A is the breast skin laxity.

[0051] The base 120 of this invention is rectangular in shape, measuring 2cm × 1cm and 2mm thick, and can be made of steel. A measuring ruler 110 is located at the intersection of the diagonals of the base 120. The measuring ruler 110 is approximately 16cm long, 1cm wide, and 2mm thick. The surface of the measuring ruler 110 has evenly distributed graduations, or graduations may be only present in the first 11cm section, as the normal breast protrusion is between 5cm and 7cm, and very few people have breasts with a protrusion exceeding 11cm. The sliding beam 220 is 12cm long and approximately 1.5cm wide. The sliding ruler 210 is approximately 1.5cm wide and 4mm thick. The suction cup 410 is 1cm high, with an upper surface diameter of 2cm and a lower surface diameter of 6.5cm.

[0052] The main body 100 of the breast skin laxity measuring device is supported on the sternal plane, thereby improving the stability during measurement. The tensile force can be accurately measured by the tensile force measuring part 300, reducing measurement errors.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] A device for measuring breast skin laxity, such as Figure 4 As shown, other features are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that: the suction cup 410 is integrally connected to the other end of the connecting tube 420; the suction part 400 is also provided with a negative pressure generator 430 for generating negative pressure, and the negative pressure generator 430 is in communication with the connecting tube 420 and the suction cup 410. The negative pressure generator 430 is a hollow elastic ball, which is fitted into the connecting tube 420.

[0055] like Figure 5 The connecting pipe 420 is provided with a main pipe 421 and a branch pipe 422. One end of the main pipe 421 is a closed end and is assembled with the tensile measuring part 300. One end of the main pipe 421 is an open end and is connected to the suction cup 410. The branch pipe 422 is integrally connected to the main pipe 421. The elastic ball is connected to the main pipe 421 through a flexible hose 440.

[0056] It should be noted that the suction cup 410 in this embodiment can be a rigid suction cup 410. Before the suction cup 410 is fixed to the nipple and areola, the gas inside the elastic ball is squeezed out, and then the suction cup 410 is attached to the nipple and areola. The suction cup 410 is fixed to the nipple and areola by negative pressure.

[0057] Compared with Example 1, the negative pressure generated in this example is greater, thereby improving the adhesion between the adsorption part 400 and the breast.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] A device for measuring breast skin laxity, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7Other features are the same as in Embodiment 1, and it also has the following features: the tension measuring part 300 is also provided with a plurality of limiting rods 350 for limiting the tension, one end of each limiting rod 350 is inserted into the housing 310, and the other end of each limiting rod 350 is movably abutting against the indicator needle 340.

[0060] It should be noted that the function of the limiting rod 350 is to limit the magnitude of the pulling force. Specifically, depending on the specific requirements, the limiting rod 350 at the corresponding pulling force point is pushed towards the connecting rod 360. When the indicator needle 340 abuts against the limiting point, the pulling force stops.

[0061] Compared to Example 1, this example can limit the magnitude of the tensile force.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
