Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical assistance, and more specifically, to a postpartum bra. Background Technology

[0002] Breast milk is the ideal food for infants, easily boosting their immunity and protecting them from illness. Postpartum women often experience breast engorgement, burning, hardening, and weight gain due to insufficient milk flow, making them highly susceptible to mastitis. Ice packs and / or medicated compresses are common treatments for mastitis. Traditional Chinese medicine external application involves wrapping the medicine in medical gauze and applying it to the outer side of the breast where the lump has formed. However, this method does not effectively fix the medicine to the breast, affecting the treatment effect and easily causing leakage and staining of clothing.

[0003] Existing bras designed to assist in the treatment of mastitis in postpartum women, such as those with patent numbers CN201420323082.9, CN201420752202.7, and CN202020731832.1, all have an inner layer containing medication for treating mastitis. This medication is applied directly to the breast to achieve a therapeutic effect. However, mastitis in postpartum women typically occurs in a localized area of ​​the breast. The medication layers in these bras cover all areas of both breasts except for the nipple and areola, leaving untreated areas that do not require medication. This results in wasted medication. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a bra that can more effectively target specific areas of the breast with medication to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a postpartum bra that allows for precise application of medication to postpartum women suffering from mastitis. This bra is convenient to use and has good therapeutic effects.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but this does not constitute any limitation on this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a postpartum bra, comprising a pair of symmetrically arranged cups 1 and bra straps 2. The cups 1 and bra straps 2 are fixedly connected. Each cup 1 has a dressing layer 3 and a first isolation layer 4 arranged sequentially from the inside out. Both the dressing layer 3 and the first isolation layer 4 have nipple holes 5 in their middle. Since the nipple and areola do not require medication, no dressing layer is provided at their corresponding positions. The dressing layer 3 has two first dressing areas 6 and a second dressing area 7 arranged sequentially along the outer edge of the nipple holes 5. Each of the first dressing areas 6 and the second dressing area 7 has four dressing holes 8. By providing multiple dressing holes 4 on the dressing layer 3, medication can be applied specifically according to the location of the postpartum woman's mastitis, resulting in more precise medication application, convenient use, and better treatment effects. A sponge strip 14 is provided at the lower edge of each dressing hole 8. The sponge strip 14 absorbs excess liquid from the medication placed in the dressing hole 8, preventing leakage. The outer edges of the nipple through-hole 5 and the dressing hole 8 in the dressing layer 3 are sealed to the first isolation layer 4 to ensure that excess liquid of the medicine placed in the dressing hole 8 will not flow out from between the dressing layer 3 and the first isolation layer 4.

[0024] Furthermore, the bra cup 1 is also provided with a sponge layer 9 and a second isolation layer 10. The sponge layer 9 and the second isolation layer 10 are sequentially arranged outside the first isolation layer 4. The outer edge of the first isolation layer 4 is sealed to the outer edge of the second isolation layer 10. The sponge layer 9 is located within the sealed space formed by the first isolation layer 4 and the second isolation layer 10. The sponge layer 9 can reduce the pressure exerted by the bra cup 1 on the breast, prevent milk leakage after the breast is subjected to pressure, and absorb naturally leaked milk. The sealed connection between the first isolation layer 4 and the second isolation layer 10 can lock the sponge layer 9 within the sealed space formed by the first isolation layer 4 and the second isolation layer 10, preventing milk from seeping out of the bra cup 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the sponge layer 9 has a nipple through hole 5 in the middle, which can minimize the pressure on the nipple.

[0026] Furthermore, the center points of the nipple holes 5 located on the dressing layer 3, the first isolation layer 4, and the sponge layer 9 coincide and are the same size, so as to form a space to accommodate the breast in each successive layer.

[0027] Furthermore, the four dressing holes 8 located in the first dressing area 6 or the second dressing area 7 are all fan-shaped and evenly distributed around the nipple through hole 5. The first dressing area 6 or the second dressing area 7 forms two dressing areas that radiate outwards, and different dressing holes 8 are evenly divided according to the shape of the breast, so that the area where the medicine is applied is more precise and more targeted.

[0028] Furthermore, one end of the breast support strap 2 is provided with a plurality of buckles 11 along its extension direction, and the other end of the breast support strap 2 is provided with hooks 12 that match the buckles 11. By using the buckles 11 and hooks 12 to fasten each other, the breast support strap 2 can be fixed under the mother's breasts.

[0029] Furthermore, the bra is also symmetrically provided with a pair of shoulder straps 13, with each end of the shoulder strap 13 being fixedly connected to the cup 1 and the bra support strap 2 on the same side, respectively. The shoulder straps 13 can further enhance the bra's fixing effect.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
