Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chest correction technology, specifically to a device for simultaneous correction of pectus carinatum and rib flaring. Background Technology

[0002] Pectus carinatum is a chest wall deformity characterized by the sternum protruding forward, resembling the breast of a chicken. While pectus carinatum is usually not life-threatening, it can have various impacts on a patient's physical and mental health and quality of life. Therefore, intervention is necessary to avoid the adverse effects of pectus carinatum on growth and development. Existing interventions for pectus carinatum include surgery or the use of corrective devices. Surgery carries risks such as infection, anesthesia complications, and postoperative pain; therefore, corrective devices are the preferred option for most patients.

[0003] Rib flaring refers to the outward protrusion of the lower edge of the ribs, usually more noticeable in the 7th to 10th ribs. The correction of rib flaring is not only related to physical appearance, but also closely related to physical health.

[0004] Currently, devices for chest correction only address individual cases of pectus carinatum or rib flaring. However, for patients who have both pectus carinatum and rib flaring, although such patients are relatively few, there are currently no devices that can simultaneously correct both conditions.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a synchronous correction device that is suitable for simultaneous correction of pectus carinatum and rib flaring, with good correction effect, and solves the adaptation problem caused by different patients or individual growth differences. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the lack of existing corrective devices that simultaneously correct pectus carinatum and rib flaring, this invention provides a device for the simultaneous correction of pectus carinatum and rib flaring.
