Detailed Implementation
[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] This utility model embodiment provides a comfortable chest and rib fixation strap, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a breathable strap 1, with a first upper elastic band 2 and a first lower elastic band 3 sewn to the left side of the breathable strap 1, a second upper elastic band 4 and a second lower elastic band 5 sewn to the right side of the breathable strap 1, an elastic connecting band 7 sewn to the top of the breathable strap 1, a first reinforcing strap 12 and a second reinforcing strap 13 sewn to the back of the breathable strap 1, and a collar 6 adapted to the elastic connecting band 7 sewn to the top of the first upper elastic band 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, by setting a first upper elastic band 2, a first lower elastic band 3, a second upper elastic band 4, and a second lower elastic band 5, when a female patient wears the garment, the first upper elastic band 2 and the second upper elastic band 4 can be fixed above the chest, and the first lower elastic band 3 and the second lower elastic band 5 can be fixed below the chest. This can adapt to different body shapes of different patients, making it more comfortable for female patients to wear. When a male patient wears the garment, the corresponding first upper elastic band 2 and the second upper elastic band 4, the first lower elastic band 3 and the second lower elastic band 5 can be directly fixed in front of the chest. The first reinforcing strap 12 and the second reinforcing strap 13 can improve the strength of this fixation strap, achieving a tight but not constricting wearing experience, ensuring the fixation effect while improving wearing comfort. By setting an elastic connecting strap 7, the fracture sites of the patient's first to fourth ribs can be more closely fixed, and the upper ribs of the patient can be well fixed.
[0026] The first upper elastic band 2 is located above the first lower elastic band 3, and the second upper elastic band 4 is located above the second lower elastic band 5; the first upper elastic band 2 and the first lower elastic band 3 are both sewn with a first female hook and loop fastener 9 on the same side, and the second upper elastic band 4 and the second lower elastic band 5 are both sewn with a first female hook and loop fastener 8 corresponding to the first female hook and loop fastener 9 on the same side.
[0027] In this embodiment, by setting the first sub-hook and hook and loop fastener 8 and the first female hook and loop fastener 9, it is easy to attach and fix the first upper elastic band 2 and the second upper elastic band 4, and the first lower elastic band 3 and the second lower elastic band 5. At the same time, the tightness of the binding can be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, so as to better adapt to the patient's body shape and increase the patient's wearing comfort.
[0028] Both the first upper elastic band 2 and the first lower elastic band 3 are sewn with a female hook and loop fastener 10 on the same side; both the second upper elastic band 4 and the second lower elastic band 5 are sewn with a female hook and loop fastener 2 11 on the same side; both ends of the first reinforcing strap 12 and the second reinforcing strap 13 are sewn with a male hook and loop fastener 14 on the same side, and the male hook and loop fastener 14 is respectively set to correspond to the adjacent female hook and loop fastener 10 and female hook and loop fastener 2 11.
[0029] In this embodiment, by setting the first reinforcing strap 12 and the second reinforcing strap 13, it is convenient to fix and restrain the patient again through the first reinforcing strap 12 and the second reinforcing strap 13. This can improve the strength of the fixation strap and achieve a tight but not constricting wearing experience, ensuring the fixation effect while improving wearing comfort.
[0030] The elastic connecting band 7 has a second female hook and loop fastener 15 and a second female hook and loop fastener 16 sewn on one side; the second female hook and loop fastener 16 is located above the second female hook and loop fastener 15.
[0031] In this embodiment, by setting an elastic connecting strap 7, when the patient wears the garment, the elastic connecting strap 7 passes through the corresponding loop 6 so that the second sub-hook and hook fastener 16 on one side of the elastic connecting strap 7 is attached and fixed to the second female hook and hook fastener 15, thereby achieving a fixing effect on the upper ribs of the patient.
[0032] In use, first pass the elastic connecting strap 7 through the loop 6 at the top of the first upper elastic strap 2, then place the breathable strap 1 close to the upper back of the patient. Secure the patient's chest by pulling the first upper elastic strap 2 and the second upper elastic strap 4, and then secure the patient's chest by pulling the first lower elastic strap 3 and the second lower elastic strap 5. Next, secure the second sub-hook and hook fastener 16 on one side of the elastic connecting strap 7 to the second female hook and hook fastener 15. After wearing, attach the corresponding sub-hook and hook fastener 14 on one side of the first reinforcing strap 12 to the female hook and hook fastener 1. Attach and secure the first elastic band 10 and the second elastic band 11 to the second reinforcing strap 13. Attach and secure the second elastic band 14 to the first elastic band 10 and the second elastic band 11 respectively. This increases the strength of the strap, achieving a tight but not constricting wearing experience. While ensuring the fixation effect, it also improves wearing comfort. When a female patient wears it, the first upper elastic band 2 and the second upper elastic band 4 can be fixed above the chest, and the first lower elastic band 3 and the second lower elastic band 5 can be fixed below the chest. This adapts to different body shapes, making it more comfortable for female patients to wear.
