Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to medical shaping underwear specifically designed for breast reconstruction surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Breast cancer has become one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, and its incidence rate is rising year by year. In recent years, breast cancer surgical treatment has gradually evolved from "saving lives" to "preserving function," and is further developing towards "preserving aesthetics" (plastic repair and reconstruction). Therefore, the most common breast reconstruction in clinical practice is implant reconstruction. Postoperative clinical observation after implant reconstruction is particularly important, especially regarding the blood supply, temperature, and color of the nipple, areola, and surrounding skin, as well as the placement of the implant, to avoid the possibility of nipple necrosis.

[0003] Currently, commonly used medical shaping garments in clinical practice consist of fully elastic bands, fully elastic fabric, hook and loop fasteners, composite fabrics, and webbing. They are wrapped around the patient's chest to apply compression. Initially, the fasteners are applied under the chest via a pressure fold incision; then above the chest via an underarm incision; and finally, in front of the chest via an areola incision. Existing medical shaping underwear, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it is impossible to observe the blood circulation, temperature and color of the nipple, areola and surrounding skin. Furthermore, the breasts cannot be supported from below, and the non-removable front clasp will affect blood circulation. In addition, the position of the cups is not adjustable, making it unsuitable for people with different bust heights. Postoperative fluid leakage will lead to decreased comfort.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, we propose a special medical shaping bra for breast reconstruction surgery to solve these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing a medical shaping bra specifically designed for breast reconstruction surgery. The bra features a multi-fastening system: initial fastening at the lower chest fold incision, and subsequent fastening at the upper chest fold incision. The cup position is adjustable, making it suitable for patients with different chest line positions.

[0006] The technical solution to the technical problem solved by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a special medical shaping underwear for breast reconstruction surgery, including an underwear body and cups. The underwear body has two symmetrical openings on the front, and cups are set at the openings. The side of the two cups that are close to each other is connected to the underwear body through a connector, and the side of the two cups that are far apart from each other is connected to the underwear body through an adjustment and installation part. A ring is set on the inner side of the cup, and a liquid storage cavity for gauze is formed between the ring and the cup. An upper breast-relaxing band and a lower breast-relaxing band are set above and below the cup, respectively. Both ends of the upper breast-relaxing band and the lower breast-relaxing band are connected to the underwear body through a connector.

[0007] As an optimization, the cups are semi-circular with a diameter of 10 centimeters.

[0008] As an optimization, the adjustment and installation components include interlocking hanging rings and hooks. Hanging rings are provided on the sides of the two cups that are far apart from each other. Several hooks are evenly arranged on both sides of the bra body along the length of the bra body. The front end of the hanging ring is provided with a slot, and the hooks are engaged in the slot.

[0009] As an optimization, the connector includes a female buckle and a male buckle that interlock. The female buckle is located on the front side of the bra body, and the female buckle is located on the side of the upper part of the cup away from the hanging ring.

[0010] As an optimization, connector 2 includes a hook and loop side and a hook and loop side. The hook and loop side is located on both sides of the bra body and at the upper and lower ends of the hook and loop, while the hook and loop side is located at the upper or lower breast support band.

[0011] As an optimization, two upper breast support bands and two lower breast support bands are each provided, and the ends of the two upper breast support bands or the two lower breast support bands that are far apart from each other are provided with Velcro hooks.

[0012] As an optimization, the sides of the two cup bottom pieces that are close to each other, and the ends of the two upper breast support straps or the two lower breast support straps that are close to each other, are all connected to each other by a connector three. The connector three includes hooks and buckles. One cup bottom piece or upper breast support strap or lower breast support strap is equipped with a hook, and the other cup bottom piece or upper breast support strap or lower breast support strap is equipped with a buckle.

[0013] The effects provided in the utility model description are merely those of the embodiments, and not all the effects of the utility model. The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By setting adjustable mounting parts, the height of the cups can be adjusted according to different patients and different chest line positions to improve the adaptability of the shaping underwear. By setting a liquid storage cavity, it is convenient to place gauze to absorb postoperative leakage. By setting a connector, the cups can be opened and closed, which is convenient for observing the blood circulation, temperature and color of the nipple, areola and surrounding skin, and also facilitates gauze replacement, thus improving the patient's comfort.

[0015] 2. By incorporating both hook and loop fasteners, the upper and lower breast support bands are detachable and self-adhesive, making this shaping underwear suitable for all breast reconstruction patients. Made of elastic material, the upper and lower breast support bands apply moderate pressure to the reconstructed breast area, helping to control postoperative swelling, prevent hematoma, and promote tissue adhesion to the implant, preventing displacement. Furthermore, they externally fix the shape of the reconstructed breast, preventing implant deformation and ensuring symmetry and a natural appearance.

[0016] 3. By setting hooks and buckles, the cups, upper breast support, and lower breast support can all be adjusted for comfort according to individual needs. Attached Figure Description
