Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital gowns, and in particular to a hospital gown for pregnant and postpartum women. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in medical care and changing attitudes towards childbirth, pregnant women are placing increasing importance on their hospital experience. Traditional hospital gowns, with their limited functionality and inconvenient fit, fail to meet the unique physical needs during pregnancy and postpartum. Multiple fetal heart rate monitoring sessions are required before delivery and during labor as the cervix dilates. Postpartum, breastfeeding is necessary. Since most hospitals have multi-person wards, pregnant women face privacy concerns during fetal heart rate monitoring and breastfeeding. Existing hospital gowns are mostly generic designs that do not adequately consider these factors.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, patent CN219803387U discloses a patient gown designed for pregnant women undergoing fetal heart rate monitoring. The gown features a covering fabric to facilitate breastfeeding, and a restraint strap is fixedly installed inside the gown. An elastic band is movably installed inside the restraint strap, and the elastic band has holes for securing the probe of the fetal heart rate monitor. However, this invention still has several problems.

[0004] 1. The connection of the covering cloth is inconvenient to operate. In this patent, the covering cloth is connected to the upper garment by a tie. After breastfeeding, the tie needs to be tied to cover the chest, which is cumbersome and may aggravate the fatigue of the mother who is weak after childbirth.

[0005] 2. Low comfort level. Some mothers need to breastfeed frequently after childbirth. Wearing a nursing bra is cumbersome, increases fatigue, and is not very comfortable. Not wearing a bra can easily stain clothing and cause nipple exposure.

[0006] 3. The limiting strap affects the fixation of the probe. The limiting strap is used to limit the elastic band that fixes the probe, but the limiting strap is fixed inside the clothing, which may restrict the position of the probe. Different pregnant women and different conditions require different positions for the probe to be fixed, which may cause the probe to not be fixed in the most ideal position, thus affecting the effect of fetal heart rate monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments, not all embodiments.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a maternity hospital gown, including a top 1 and pants 2. The top 1 has two breastfeeding openings 11 for easy breastfeeding. The top 1 also has two breastfeeding covers 3 corresponding to the two breastfeeding openings 11. There is a fastening mechanism 4 between the breastfeeding covers 3 and the top 1 for opening and closing the breastfeeding covers 3.

[0050] Furthermore, the fastening mechanism 4 includes a fastening strip 41, a fastening groove 42, and two magnetic elements 43; the fastening strip 41 matches the fastening groove 42; the nursing cover 3 is provided with the fastening strip 41; the corresponding nursing opening 11 on the outer side of the top 1 is provided with the fastening groove 42; a magnetic element 43 is provided at the corresponding position on the outer side of the nursing opening 11 on both the nursing cover 3 and the top 1, and the magnetic poles of the two magnetic elements 43 that are in contact are opposite, so they can attract each other. The fastening groove 42 is preferably made of a flexible material, such as soft silicone; the fastening strip 41 is preferably made of a moderately soft plastic material.

[0051] Specifically, the magnetic element 43 on the nursing cover 3 is located at the lower corner of the fabric, and the two sets of magnetic elements 43 on the two nursing covers 3 are located at the lower corners on opposite sides; the fastening strip 41 is preferably 3 / 4 annular, with a notch to prevent it from rubbing against the baby's skin, and the fastening strip 41 on the two fastening mechanisms 4 is located above and to the side of the magnetic element 43 on the corresponding nursing cover 3, respectively. This arrangement makes it easier for the nursing cover 3 to open from the lower outside, making it more convenient for the mother to operate when breastfeeding is needed.

[0052] The breastfeeding opening 11 and the breastfeeding cover 3 are selected to be of appropriate size so that the mother only needs to lift a corner of the lower outer side of the breastfeeding cover 3 to breastfeed. The magnetic part 43 on the breastfeeding cover 3 is sewn and fixed to the upper garment 1 at the diagonal, so that the fastening strip 41 will not completely detach from the fastening groove 42. After breastfeeding, the fastening strip 41 will be locked in the fastening groove 42 along the groove direction of the fastening groove 42. This makes it easier for the magnetic part 43 on the breastfeeding cover 3 to contact the magnetic part 43 near the breastfeeding opening 11, making the operation of fastening the breastfeeding cover 3 simpler.

[0053] It should be noted that the opening method of nursing cover 3 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The state shown is a diagram of the nursing cover 3 opened to its maximum angle. Figure 3 This is only for demonstrating the structure of the nursing cover 3 and the fastening mechanism 4.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] Based on Example 1, in order to ensure the comfort and privacy of postpartum women during hospitalization, and to allow postpartum women who do not wish to wear nursing bras during hospitalization to keep their tops 1 clean and avoid embarrassment, Example 2 provides a seepage prevention mechanism 7 on the inside of the nursing cover 3.

[0056] refer to Figure 3-4 The leak-proof mechanism 7 includes a placement groove 71, an adhesive ring 72, and a breast pad 73. The placement groove 71 consists of two ring-shaped pieces of fabric sewn onto the inside of the nursing cover 3. The placement groove 71 is used to place the adhesive ring 72, and the adhesive ring 72 is used to attach the breast pad 73. Both the placement groove 71 and the adhesive ring 72 are ring-shaped structures. The breast pad 73 is located between the adhesive ring 72 and the placement groove 71, and the breast pad 73 is in contact with the patient's skin to prevent the clothing 1 from being contaminated when breast milk leaks out.

[0057] Furthermore, the nursing pad 73 is fitted inside the adhesive ring 72, and a drainage groove 721 is formed between the nursing pad 73 and the adhesive ring 72; so that the circumferential direction of the nursing pad 73 does not directly contact the nursing cover 3, and avoids milk from seeping into the nursing cover 3 along the periphery when the nursing pad 73 is not replaced in time, but instead remains in the drainage groove 721.

[0058] The nursing pad 73 is similar to existing nursing covers, but differs in that the adhesive 731 is only applied to the area in contact with the adhesive ring 72, preventing the nursing pad 73 from sticking to the garment 1 and reducing the difficulty of cleaning the garment 1. The adhesive ring 72 is preferably made of a material with a certain degree of deformability and hardness, such as silicone with appropriate hardness. The adhesive ring 72 can be used multiple times by the same mother during her hospital stay, is easy to insert into the placement slot 71, and is easy to remove from the placement slot 71 for washing and drying. It is discarded upon discharge, avoiding cross-infection between different mothers; the nursing pad 73 is a disposable product.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to protect the privacy of pregnant women during fetal heart rate monitoring and improve the efficiency of fetal heart rate monitoring, Embodiment 2 provides a preferred solution for trousers 2.

[0061] refer to Figure 5 The pants 2 are high-waisted and have a fetal monitoring opening 21 in the abdomen; the pants 2 also have a fetal monitoring cover 5 outside the fetal monitoring opening 21; and the pants 2 also have a limiting mechanism 6 for limiting the fetal monitoring cover 5 and for fixing the fetal heart rate monitoring probe.

[0062] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism 6 includes two elastic bands 61 and two fixing buckles 63; two fixing buckles 63 are provided on one side of the fetal monitoring opening 21 on the pants 2, and two elastic bands 61 are provided on the other side; the fixing buckles 63 are used to limit the corresponding elastic bands 61; multiple limiting holes 62 are opened on the elastic bands 61 for fixing the fetal heart rate monitoring probe. One end of the elastic band 61 is fixed to the pants 2, and the other end is fastened to the fixing buckle 63 through the limiting hole 62, thereby limiting the fetal monitoring cover 5. At the same time, the limiting hole 62 in the middle of the elastic band 61 can also be used to fix the fetal heart rate monitoring probe.

[0063] In this embodiment, during fetal heart rate monitoring, the pregnant woman's abdomen can be exposed simply by opening the monitoring port 21, effectively protecting her privacy and facilitating operation, thus improving the efficiency of fetal heart rate monitoring. Simultaneously, the two elastic bands 61 can be adjusted appropriately according to the probe's position, using friction to stably fix the probe in the ideal position.

[0064] Application Examples

[0065] When a pregnant woman is admitted to the hospital for delivery, she needs to undergo a series of prenatal examinations. These examinations allow for continuous monitoring of the fetus's condition, including fetal position, fetal heart rate, and fetal movement. This helps to detect potential abnormalities such as fetal distress and hypoxia in a timely manner, ensuring the fetus's safety in utero. For pregnant women with high-risk pregnancy factors, such as gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, fetal growth restriction, oligohydramnios, or multiple loops of the umbilical cord around the neck, the frequency of fetal heart rate monitoring will increase. During labor, when the cervix dilates to a certain extent, fetal heart rate monitoring may need to be performed every 30 minutes to 1 hour. At this time, the mother has not yet entered the delivery room and the fetal heart rate monitoring needs to be conducted in the ward. Considering that there may be male family members of other pregnant women in the ward, it is necessary to minimize the wearing and removal of hospital gowns during fetal heart rate monitoring to ensure the privacy of the pregnant woman.

[0066] The following describes the usage of a maternity gown of this utility model, using the example of a pregnant woman wearing the gown for prenatal fetal heart rate monitoring and postpartum breastfeeding.

[0067] Step 1: When fetal heart rate monitoring is required, the pregnant woman lies on the hospital bed and unfastens the elastic band 61 from the fixing buckle 63. The medical staff places the fetal heart rate monitoring probe on the pregnant woman's abdomen, finds the best position for fetal heart rate monitoring, and clips the protruding head of the probe into the appropriate limiting hole 62. The free end of the elastic band 61 is then re-fixed to the fixing buckle 63.

[0068] Step 2: After the pregnant woman has given birth, attach the nursing pad 73 to the adhesive ring 72 and place the adhesive ring 72 into the placement slot 71 to avoid protrusions and staining of the top 1.

[0069] Step 3: When the mother needs to breastfeed, she pulls up the lower outer corner of the breastfeeding cover 3 to disengage the two magnetic parts 43. After the baby finishes suckling, the mother releases the breastfeeding cover 3 and gently strokes it. Under the guidance of the fastening groove 42, the fastening strip 41 is inserted into the fastening groove 42. The magnetic parts 43 on the breastfeeding cover 3 come into contact with and attract each other to the magnetic parts 43 near the breastfeeding opening 11, thus ensuring proper coverage of the breastfeeding cover 3.

[0070] Step 4: If the mother does not change the nursing pad 73 in time, resulting in a small amount of milk in the drainage channel 721, remove the adhesive ring 72 from the placement channel 71, clean it, and reuse it.

[0071] It should be understood that the above detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
