[0002] The breast is composed of skin, fibrous tissue, mammary glands, and fat. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the epithelial tissue of the mammary glands. 99% of breast cancer cases occur in women, with only about 1% in men. The causes of breast cancer include genetics, unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, ionizing radiation, early menarche, and late menopause.

[0003] Surgery is one of the treatments for breast cancer, and patients need to wear hospital gowns after the procedure. Chinese utility model patent CN206275205U discloses a special post-operative gown for breast cancer patients. This gown has horizontal openings at the upper left and right chest areas, extending horizontally from the armpits to the buttonholes. These openings are connected by connectors, facilitating medical staff to examine the surgical site and change dressings. However, post-operative edema varies among patients, and the fabric at the corresponding left and right chest areas of this gown is not adjustable. For patients with severe edema, friction on the affected area may cause pain and discomfort. Furthermore, putting on and taking off this gown requires significant arm movements, which can hinder wound healing. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a special post-operative gown for breast cancer patients with adjustable chest fit that is easy to put on and take off. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4A surgical gown specifically designed for breast cancer patients after surgery includes a main body 1. The front of the main body 1 has square openings 2 on both sides of the chest, allowing medical staff to easily examine the affected area and change dressings without removing the gown. Above the square openings 2 is a crease 3, the structure of which is similar to that of a folding fan. The top of the crease 3 is fixedly connected to the main body 1, and the bottom of the crease 3 is fixedly connected to a foldable sealing piece 4. The width of the foldable sealing piece 4 is greater than the width of the square openings 2, allowing it to completely cover them. The foldable sealing piece 4 includes a parallel portion and side folds connected to both sides of the parallel portion. The tops of the parallel portion and the two side folds are fixedly connected to the bottom of the crease 3. Each side fold has a fixed inner side connected to the end furthest from the parallel portion. A first male Velcro patch 5 is attached to the main body 1 of the gown, and a first female Velcro patch 6 is fixedly connected to both sides of the square opening 2. After the first male Velcro patch 5 and the first female Velcro patch 6 are bonded together, the foldable sealing sheet 4 can be fixed at the square opening 2 to cover the square opening 2. When it is necessary to examine the affected area, the foldable sealing sheet 4 can be lifted up. The front and rear ends of the outer side of each side fold are fixedly connected to a second male Velcro patch 7 and a second female Velcro patch 8. When the second male Velcro patch 7 and the second female Velcro patch 8 are bonded together, the side fold is in a folded state. If the patient's edema becomes severe, the second male Velcro patch 7 and the second female Velcro patch 8 can be separated. At this time, the side fold can be unfolded, making the foldable sealing sheet 4 looser overall, preventing it from sticking tightly to the affected area and causing severe friction.

[0022] In this embodiment, the length of the foldable sealing sheet 4 is greater than the length of the square opening 2, and the lengths of the two first Velcro tabs 6 are both greater than the length of the square opening 2. This means that the bottom end of the foldable sealing sheet 4 extends beyond the bottom end of the square opening 2 by a certain distance, thereby achieving complete coverage of the square opening 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, a crease is provided at the middle position of both side folding parts, and the two side folding parts can be folded inward along the crease. The second male hook and the second female hook are symmetrically arranged about the crease, so that after the side folding parts are folded inward along the crease, the second male hook and the second female hook can be aligned and bonded.

[0024] In this embodiment, the parallel portion and the two side folding portions are an integral structure.

[0025] In this embodiment, a pocket 9 is provided on the front side of the main body of the hospital gown 1 below each square opening 2. The pocket 9 can hold drainage bags and other items.

[0026] In this embodiment, sleeves 10 are connected to both sides of the main body 1 of the hospital gown. A first longitudinal opening is provided on the side of the sleeve 10 closest to the main body 1, extending from the cuff to the armpit. Second longitudinal openings are provided on both sides of the main body 1, with the top of the second longitudinal opening communicating with the first longitudinal opening at the armpit, and the bottom of the second longitudinal opening extending to the bottom of the main body 1. A first connecting structure 11 is provided at the first longitudinal opening, and a second connecting structure 12 is provided at the second longitudinal opening. By providing the first and second longitudinal openings, the sleeves 10 can be fully opened, thus reducing the need for significant arm movements during dressing and undressing, thereby preventing tearing of the wound.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first connecting structure 11 includes a third male Velcro strap and a third female Velcro strap, which are respectively fixed on both sides of the first longitudinal opening. The second connecting structure 12 includes a fourth male Velcro strap and a fourth female Velcro strap, which are respectively fixed on both sides of the second longitudinal opening.

[0028] In this embodiment, the front middle position of the main body of the hospital gown 1 is connected by a button.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
