[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 The illustrated comfort compression bra specifically designed for breast cancer surgery includes:

[0036] Underwear Body 1: Features a front and two underarm portions; Chest Pad 3: Located on the front of the underwear body 1, covering and supporting the chest area; Underarm Pad 2: Located on both sides of the underarm portion of the underwear body 1, covering and supporting the underarm area; Chest Insertion Groove 31: Located on both sides of the chest pad 3, accommodating and securing the chest compression pad 32; Chest Compression Pad 32: Placed inside the chest insertion groove 31, used for compression bandaging of the surgical site on the chest; Underarm Insertion Groove 21: Located inside the underarm pad 2, accommodating and securing the underarm compression pad; Underarm Compression Pad 22: Placed inside the underarm insertion groove 21, used for compression bandaging of the surgical site under the armpit; Adjustable Hook and Loop 11: Located at an appropriate position on the underwear body 1, used to adjust the tightness of the underwear to accommodate patients of different body types.

[0037] The underarm pressure pad 22 and chest pressure pad 32 can be set as pads of predetermined thickness or as adjustable air cushions to be adjusted according to the patient's comfort and pressure requirements. The main body of the underwear 1 is made of highly elastic, breathable, and skin-friendly fabric, with antibacterial and infection-preventing materials embedded in the areas in direct contact with the wound. It also includes adjustable back straps to accommodate the pressure bandaging needs of both breasts. The main body of the underwear 1 is made of cotton or silk to ensure breathability and softness. The chest pad 3 and underarm pad 2 are made of elastic fabric to tighten and compress the affected area. The underarm pad 2 is fixedly connected to the main body of the underwear 1 or is detachable. The underarm pad 2 and the main body of the underwear are fixedly connected by needle and thread, and the underwear is adapted to the patient's needs depending on whether the surgery is on the left, right, or both breasts. The underarm pad 2 and the main body of the underwear are connected by Velcro, buckles, concealed zippers, or knots.

[0038] Example 1, asFigure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, for patients undergoing bilateral breast surgery: the underwear body 1 serves as the framework of the entire underwear, made of high-elastic, breathable and skin-friendly cotton or silk fabric, ensuring the fit and comfort of the underwear. This fabric not only helps the skin to breathe naturally, reducing the feeling of stuffiness caused by long-term wear, but also effectively reduces the irritation to the sensitive skin after surgery due to its softness. The underwear body is provided with an armpit pad 2 and a chest pad 3 on both sides of the armpit and the front chest area, respectively. These two parts are made of elastic sponge or foam material, providing necessary support and protection for the fragile chest and armpit after surgery, while reducing the friction of clothing on the surgical area.

[0039] The chest interlayer groove 31 and the armpit interlayer groove 21 are the core of the functionality of the underwear. They are located inside the chest pad 3 and the armpit pad 2, respectively, for accommodating and fixing the chest compression pad 32 and the armpit compression pad 22. These compression pads can be set as predetermined thickness pads or more advanced adjustable air pressure air cushions according to patient needs. By adjusting the air pressure or choosing different thickness of pads, medical staff or patients can flexibly control the compression force of the bilateral surgical sites according to the actual situation, to achieve the best compression effect and comfort balance of bilateral breasts.

[0040] In addition, the underwear is also equipped with adjustable straps, which fully considers the needs of patients undergoing bilateral breast surgery, ensuring that uniform and effective compression bandaging can be achieved regardless of which side or bilateral surgery. The combination of straps and underwear body not only improves the stability of the underwear, but also enhances the compression effect, which helps to promote lymphatic fluid return, reduce edema and promote wound healing.

[0041] Especially worth mentioning is that the underwear body is also embedded with antibacterial and anti-infection materials in the area directly contacting the wound. This detailed design effectively reduces the risk of postoperative infection, providing additional safety for patient recovery.

[0042] This breast cancer postoperative comfortable compression underwear provides a comprehensive, comfortable and effective recovery environment for postoperative patients through its scientific and reasonable structural design, high-quality material selection and personalized compression adjustment function.

[0043] Example two, as Figure 3As shown: for the patients of left breast surgery, right breast surgery and bilateral breast surgery, when in use, the corresponding structure of the underwear body 1 is matched, the underarm pad layer 2 is fixedly connected, three underwear structures are set, specifically, the underwear body 1 with the underarm pad layer 2 in the left armpit, the chest compression pad 32 is placed in the left chest interlayer groove 31, and the underarm compression pad 22 is placed in the underarm interlayer groove 21, the compression degree of the chest compression pad 32 and the underarm compression pad 22 is adjusted according to the specific condition of the patient, so that the patient's affected part is in the best compression effect and comfort balance.

[0044] As shown in the third embodiment, Figure 3 As shown: for the patients of right breast surgery, right breast surgery and bilateral breast surgery, when in use, the corresponding structure of the underwear body 1 is matched, the underarm pad layer 2 is fixedly connected, three underwear structures are set, specifically, the underwear body 1 with the underarm pad layer 2 in the right armpit, the chest compression pad 32 is placed in the right chest interlayer groove 31, and the underarm compression pad 22 is placed in the underarm interlayer groove 21, the compression degree of the chest compression pad 32 and the underarm compression pad 22 is adjusted according to the specific condition of the patient, so that the patient's affected part is in the best compression effect and comfort balance.

[0045] The material with the antibacterial and anti-infection functions is the antibacterial material commonly used in the field, for example but not limited to silver ion antibacterial fiber, chitosan fiber or fabric finished by quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agent. The antibacterial mechanism is to effectively inhibit or kill common bacteria through the surface of the fabric, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative infection.

[0046] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
