Repair bandage for separation of rectus abdominis

Abstract

This disclosure relates to the field of bandage device technology, and particularly to a diastasis recti repair bandage. The diastasis recti repair bandage includes a bandage body and a compression member. The bandage body has a perforated portion and is configured to wrap around the waist of the target individual and be secured by a fixing member, with the perforated portion aligned with the target individual's navel. The compression member protrudes from the inside of the bandage body and surrounds the perforated portion. When used, the perforated portion is aligned with the navel, effectively solving the problem of poor breathability caused by excessively tight bandage binding. Simultaneously, the compression member, located inside the bandage body and protruding around the perforated portion, can better contact the rectus abdominis muscles and exert a compression effect on them, causing the rectus abdominis muscles to move closer together, thus aiding in the recovery of diastasis recti.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of bandage device technology, and particularly to a bandage for repairing rectus abdominis diastasis. Background Technology

[0002] The rectus abdominis is an upright muscle in the anterior abdominal wall, connected to the tendinous intersections by a white line. Obesity and postpartum conditions can easily lead to diastasis recti (separation of the rectus abdominis muscles). Diastasis recti weakens abdominal muscles and reduces support for the spine, potentially causing lower back pain. The more severe the diastasis recti, the more intense the pain. Furthermore, severe diastasis recti can cause displacement of abdominal organs, commonly including stomach prolapse, uterine prolapse, and bladder prolapse.

[0003] Currently available bandages for diastasis recti rehabilitation simply bind the patient's waist. Not only is the breathability poor, but the inner side of the bandage is also prone to slipping against the abdomen. Therefore, the bandage is difficult to effectively close the rectus abdominis muscles on both sides of the navel, resulting in limited effectiveness of the bandage for diastasis recti rehabilitation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides a diastasis recti repair bandage.

[0005] This disclosure provides a diastasis recti repair bandage, the diastasis recti repair bandage comprising:

[0006] The bandage body has a hollowed-out portion and is configured to wrap around the waist of the target object and be fixed by a fastener, with the hollowed-out portion aligned with the navel of the target object;

[0007] An extrusion member, wherein the extrusion member protrudes from the inside of the bandage body and surrounds the hollow portion.

[0008] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the extruder includes a plurality of inflatable airbags.

[0009] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the inflatable airbag includes at least two first airbags and at least two second airbags, wherein the volume of the first airbags is larger than the volume of the second airbags.

[0010] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first airbag is disposed at the middle position of the bandage body in the height direction, and the at least two first airbags are evenly distributed on both sides of the hollow portion;

[0011] The at least second airbags are evenly disposed above and / or below the first airbag.

[0012] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the bandage body has an inflation port on its outer side, the inflation port being connected to the inflation ports of the plurality of inflatable airbags, and the inflation port being configured to connect to an external inflation device.

[0013] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the diastasis recti repair bandage further includes an adhesive ring, which is disposed inside the main body of the bandage and surrounds the hollow portion and the extrusion member, and the height of the adhesive ring is not higher than the height of the extrusion member.

[0014] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the bonding ring includes a far-infrared fiber layer disposed on the inner wall of the bonding ring, and a medical pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the far-infrared fiber layer.

[0015] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the fitting ring includes a first arc segment and a second arc segment extending along the length direction of the bandage body and bending toward the hollow portion, the first arc segment and the second arc segment being respectively disposed above and below the hollow portion, a third arc segment connecting one end of the first arc segment and the second arc segment, and a fourth arc segment connecting the other end of the first arc segment and the second arc segment, and the third arc segment and the fourth arc segment bending toward the end of the bandage body.

[0016] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the fastener includes a loop disposed at one end of the bandage body and a Velcro fastener disposed on the bandage body, the loop being configured to allow the other end of the bandage body to pass through and be fastened to the outside of the bandage body by the Velcro fastener.

[0017] One beneficial effect of this disclosure is that the diastasis recti repair bandage provided includes a bandage body and a compression member. The bandage body has a hollowed-out portion and is configured to wrap around the waist of the target object and be fixed by a fastener, with the hollowed-out portion aligned with the target object's navel. The compression member protrudes inside the bandage body and surrounds the hollowed-out portion. When the target object uses the bandage, the hollowed-out portion is aligned with the navel, effectively solving the problem of poor breathability caused by the bandage being too tight.

[0018] Meanwhile, the compression piece located inside the main body of the bandage surrounds the hollowed-out part and is raised, which can better contact the rectus abdominis muscle and produce a compression effect on the rectus abdominis muscle, causing the rectus abdominis muscles to come closer together, which helps in the rehabilitation of rectus abdominis diastasis.

[0019] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will become clear from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0029] The specific embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In this article, terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate the relative positional relationship between related parts, rather than to define the absolute position of these related parts.

[0031] In this article, "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish one another, and not to indicate degree of importance, order, or prerequisite for each other.

[0032] In this document, terms such as “equal” and “same” are not strict mathematical and / or geometric limitations, but also include errors that are understandable to those skilled in the art and permissible in manufacturing or use.

[0033] This disclosure provides a diastasis recti repair bandage, which includes a bandage body 1 and a compression member 4. The bandage body 1 has a hollow portion 2 and is configured to wrap around the waist of the target object and be fixed by a fastener, with the hollow portion 2 aligned with the navel of the target object. The compression member 4 protrudes from the inside of the bandage body 1 and surrounds the hollow portion 2.

[0034] It should be noted that the target group mentioned above refers to patients with diastasis recti who have used diastasis recti repair bandages.

[0035] Specifically, the main body of the bandage 1 is made of multiple layers of textile materials. The outermost layer, which is the side that comes into contact with the underwear, is made of wear-resistant and waterproof non-woven fabric, such as polypropylene non-woven fabric or polyester non-woven fabric. The inner layer, which comes into contact with the target's waist skin, can be made of soft and skin-friendly fabric, such as cotton or bamboo fiber fabric.

[0036] The main body 1 of the bandage has a hollow part 2, which is oval and fits the size of the human navel, so as to ensure that the breathability of the navel area is not affected when the target object uses the rectus abdominis diastasis repair bandage.

[0037] The extrusion part 4 is protruding on the inner side of the bandage body 1 and surrounds the hollow part 2. When the target object uses the rectus abdominis muscle separation repair bandage, the extrusion part 4 contacts and squeezes the rectus abdominis muscles on both sides of the target patient's navel, causing the rectus abdominis muscles on both sides of the navel to come together, thereby achieving a rehabilitation effect on the separated rectus abdominis muscles.

[0038] Meanwhile, since the compression member 4 is protruding, after being bound by the bandage body 1, the compression member 4 can make more stable contact with the abdomen of the target object, and is less likely to affect the compression effect on the rectus abdominis muscles on both sides of the navel due to unstable contact.

[0039] More specifically, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the compression member 4 includes multiple inflatable airbags. During the use of the diastasis recti repair bandage, the compression force of the inflatable airbags on the target's rectus abdominis muscle can be adjusted by inflating the airbags. This method is suitable for different patients and different stages of diastasis recti rehabilitation, and has good versatility.

[0040] In addition, the inflatable airbags can massage the abdominal muscles of the target user due to their softness, enhance local blood circulation, and improve the user experience.

[0041] In practice, patients with diastasis recti often have a greater degree of separation in the rectus abdominis muscles near the navel, while the separation is less pronounced in the areas further away from the navel. Considering the above, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the inflatable airbag includes at least two first airbags 41 and at least two second airbags 42, wherein the volume of the first airbags 41 is larger than the volume of the second airbags 42.

[0042] The larger first airbag 41 is mainly responsible for targeting the rectus abdominis muscles that are more separated near the navel, while the smaller second airbag 42 is responsible for squeezing the rectus abdominis muscles that are less separated.

[0043] During use, the target object inflates the airbag. The volume of the first airbag 41 after inflation is larger than that of the second airbag 42. Therefore, the first airbag 41 can provide greater compression force to the target object's rectus abdominis muscle compared to the second airbag 42, thereby compressing the rectus abdominis muscle with a greater degree of separation and assisting in the rehabilitation of the separated rectus abdominis muscle.

[0044] More specifically, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the first airbag 41 is disposed at the middle position of the bandage body 1 in the height direction, and at least two first airbags 41 are evenly distributed on both sides of the hollow portion 2; at least two second airbags 42 are evenly disposed above and / or below the first airbags 41.

[0045] As mentioned above, for patients with diastasis recti, the degree of separation of the rectus abdominis muscles located on both sides of the navel is relatively large. Therefore, the diastasis recti repair bandage provided in this disclosure has a large first air bladder 41 distributed on both sides of the hollow part 2 and located in the middle of the bandage body 1 in the height direction. In this way, when the target object uses the diastasis recti repair bandage, the first air bladder 41 is squeezed against the area of ​​the rectus abdominis muscle with a large degree of separation.

[0046] Above and below the navel, the degree of separation of the rectus abdominis muscles will gradually decrease. Correspondingly, the second airbag 42, which is set on the inner side of the bandage body 1, is also located above the first airbag 41, or the second airbag 42 is set both above and below the first airbag 41, to assist the first airbag 41 in squeezing the rectus abdominis muscles, so that the rectus abdominis muscles on both sides of the navel come together, and the separated rectus abdominis muscles can be rehabilitated.

[0047] In one embodiment of this disclosure, an inflation port 43 is provided on the outer side of the bandage body 1. The inflation port 43 is connected to the inflation ports of a plurality of inflatable airbags and is configured to connect to an external inflation device.

[0048] During the fabrication of the diastasis recti repair bandage, a portion of the surface of the inflatable airbags is bonded and fixed to the main body 1 of the bandage. Simultaneously, the inflation ports of multiple inflatable airbags are connected to the same inflation tubing. Since the main body 1 of the bandage is made of multiple layers of material, the inflation tubing is located inside the main body 1 of the bandage and then extends out of the outermost layer of the main body 1 of the bandage to form an inflation interface 43.

[0049] In practical application, the target patient can fix the diastasis recti repair bandage to the waist, and then connect the external inflation device to the inflation interface 43 to inflate the air bladder inside the main body 1 of the bandage. The compression force of the air bladder on the rectus abdominis muscle is adjusted by controlling the inflation amount. After the compression force is appropriate, the inflation device is disconnected.

[0050] Furthermore, to prevent the inflation port 43, located on the outside of the bandage body 1, from compressing the target's abdomen and causing discomfort under external force (such as clothing squeezing the inflation port 43), the diastasis recti repair bandage provided in this disclosure also has a protective plate 6 on the outside of the bandage body 1. Specifically, the protective plate 6 is located between the inflation port 43 and the bandage body 1. The inflation port 43 first contacts the protective plate 6 under external force, and then the protective plate 6 evenly distributes the force to the bandage body 1 before it acts on the target's abdomen.

[0051] Since the contact area between the protective plate 6 and the bandage body 1 is much larger than the contact area between the inflation port 43 and the bandage body 1 in direct contact, the protective plate 6 can better disperse the force acting on the inflation port 43, thus improving comfort.

[0052] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the diastasis recti repair bandage further includes an adhesive ring 5, which is disposed inside the bandage body 1 and surrounds the hollow portion 2 and the extruder 4. The height of the adhesive ring 5 is not higher than the height of the extruder 4.

[0053] In practical applications, the tightness between the abdomen and the main body of the bandage 1 changes continuously during the breathing process of the target object. At the same time, the movement of the target object may also cause the main body of the bandage 1 to rotate relative to the abdomen, resulting in inaccurate compression position of the compression member 4.

[0054] Therefore, the rectus abdominis diastasis repair bandage disclosed herein is also provided with a fitting ring 5, which is used to contact the abdomen of the target object, increase the friction between the bandage body 1 and the abdominal skin of the target object, and reduce the displacement between the bandage body 1 and the abdomen of the target object.

[0055] Specifically, the fitting ring 5 is located on the inner side of the bandage body 1 and surrounds the hollow part 2 and the compression member 4. During use, the inner wall of the fitting ring 5 fits against the abdomen of the target object. At the same time, in order not to affect the compression effect of the compression member 4 on the rectus abdominis muscle of the target object, the height of the fitting ring 5 is not higher than the height of the compression member 4.

[0056] The diastasis recti repair bandage disclosed herein increases the friction between the diastasis recti repair bandage and the target patient's abdomen by setting a fitting ring 5, which, while ensuring that the squeezing effect of the squeezing member 4 on the rectus abdominis muscle is not affected, avoids the problem of the diastasis recti repair bandage moving relative to the target patient's abdomen and causing the squeezing member 4 to be inaccurate in its squeezing position.

[0057] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the bonding ring 5 includes a far-infrared fiber layer disposed on the inner side of the bonding ring 5, and a medical pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the far-infrared fiber layer.

[0058] The far-infrared fiber layer located inside the fitting ring 5 can accumulate the heat emitted by the target object and then release it in the form of far-infrared rays to increase the warmth retention of the bandage body 1. At the same time, the far-infrared rays are absorbed by the skin and converted into heat energy, causing the temperature to rise, stimulating the heat receptors in the skin, causing blood vessels to relax, dilate, and accelerate blood circulation, especially microcirculation, increasing tissue nutrition, improving oxygen supply, and enhancing cell regeneration capacity, which helps in the rehabilitation of the separated rectus abdominis muscles.

[0059] The medical pressure-sensitive adhesive set on the far-infrared fiber layer comes into contact with the abdominal skin of the target object during use and adheres to the surface of the abdominal skin of the target object. This increases the friction between the diastasis recti repair bandage and the target object's abdomen, preventing the diastasis recti repair bandage from moving relative to the target object's abdomen and causing the problem of inaccurate compression position of the extrusion component 4.

[0060] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the fitting ring 5 includes a first arc segment 51 and a second arc segment 52 extending along the length direction of the bandage body 1 and bending toward the hollow portion 2. The first arc segment 51 and the second arc segment 52 are respectively disposed above and below the hollow portion 2. A third arc segment 53 connects one end of the first arc segment 51 and the second arc segment 52, and a fourth arc segment 54 connects the other end of the first arc segment 51 and the second arc segment 52. The third arc segment 53 and the fourth arc segment 54 bend toward the end of the bandage body 1.

[0061] Because the abdomen near the navel rises and falls significantly during respiration, the first arc segment 51 and the second arc segment 52 of the fitting ring 5 bend towards the hollow part 2 to ensure effective contact between the fitting ring 5 and the abdomen. This reduces the area enclosed by the fitting ring 5 in the middle of the abdomen of the target object, while enhancing the stability of the fitting ring 5 structure. This prevents the fitting ring 5 from deforming during the rise and fall of the target object's abdomen, thus reducing the likelihood of unstable contact between the fitting ring 5 and the abdomen.

[0062] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the fastener includes a loop 31 disposed at one end of the bandage body 1 and a Velcro 32 disposed on the bandage body 1. The loop 31 is configured to allow the other end of the bandage body 1 to pass through and be attached to the outside of the bandage body 1 by the Velcro 32.

[0063] In practical applications, the target person first separates the female and male Velcro 32, then binds the diastasis recti repair bandage around the waist, and passes the female Velcro 31 through the buckle 31 to attach it to the male Velcro 32, thereby fixing the diastasis recti repair bandage to the target person's waist.

[0064] The diastasis recti repair bandage disclosed herein uses a buckle 31 and Velcro 32 as fasteners, which are simple to operate and securely fixed, allowing the target person to wear the diastasis recti repair bandage without the assistance of others.

[0065] The various embodiments of this disclosure have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, and are not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or technical improvements to the embodiments in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
