Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation bra technology, specifically to a rehabilitation bra for post-breast reconstruction surgery. Background Technology

[0002] With the incidence of breast cancer rising year by year, surgical treatment for breast cancer has entered a new stage. Breast reconstruction can effectively preserve the secondary sexual characteristics of women after radical mastectomy for breast cancer, improve patients' social and family relationships, enhance their self-confidence, and reduce the harm caused by breast cancer treatment. Breast reconstruction is divided into implant reconstruction, autologous reconstruction, or a combination of both, depending on the reconstruction material. However, there are also some complications or sequelae after reconstruction, such as implant displacement after surgery and fluid accumulation in the donor site after latissimus dorsi muscle surgery, which can affect wound healing. Therefore, in addition to aseptic bandaging, breast stabilization and correction are also necessary after breast reconstruction to avoid the aforementioned damage.

[0003] Currently, in clinical practice, the stability and correction of reconstructed breasts are often achieved through a combination of front-fastening bras and compression straps. During the procedure, the bra is first used to position the patient's chest, and then the compression straps are used to apply pressure to the top and bottom of the chest to prevent implant displacement. However, this method still has the following drawbacks in actual use:

[0004] When compression is applied to the chest area using a compression band, the band and bra are independent of each other, resulting in poor fixation. Secondly, when the patient moves, the compression band and bra are prone to relative displacement, which reduces the compression effect on the chest area. Furthermore, this relative displacement can lead to implant displacement, affecting the positioning of the chest and hindering postoperative recovery.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a rehabilitation bra for use after breast reconstruction. Utility Model Content

[0035] Example 1

[0036] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following is provided: a post-operative recovery bra for breast reconstruction surgery.

[0037] Combination Figures 1-7As shown, the present invention provides a postoperative rehabilitation bra for breast reconstruction, comprising a front piece 1 and a back piece 2. There are two front pieces 1, which are symmetrically arranged and the back piece 2 is sewn between the two ends of the two front pieces 1 that are far apart from each other. The other ends of the two front pieces 1 are detachably connected by a connecting member 3. The back piece 2 includes a first fabric piece 21 and a second fabric piece 22 sewn to both ends of the first fabric piece 21. The two front pieces 1 are respectively sewn and fixed to the ends of the two second fabric pieces 22. The top of each of the two front pieces 1 is provided with a shoulder strap 4 connected to the first fabric piece 21.

[0038] A clearance hole 11 is provided in the middle of the front piece 1. A cover 12 for sealing the clearance hole 11 is integrally formed on the front piece 1. It should be noted that the side cross section of the cover 12 is arc-shaped. Two tightening straps 6 are fixed to the side of the first fabric piece 21 away from the connecting component 3 by the fixing component 5. The two tightening straps 6 are symmetrically arranged along the cover 12 at the top and bottom positions of the first fabric piece 21. The two ends of the two tightening straps 6 extend to the outer side of the ends of the two front pieces 1 respectively. The two ends of the tightening straps 6 are bonded and fixed together by the adhesive component 7.

[0039] In use, when the patient wears this bra to position and compress the chest, the two front pieces 1 are wrapped around the patient's back to the front of the chest. The two arms pass between the two shoulder straps 4 and the two first fabric pieces 21, respectively, so that the clearance holes 11 on the two front pieces 1 are located on the outer sides of the patient's two breasts. The two front pieces 1 are fixed together by the connecting component 3. At this time, the patient's two breasts pass through the two clearance holes 11 and contact the concave surfaces of the two covers 12, thus achieving the positioning effect of the patient's two breasts. This completes the wearing of the bra. Then, when the two tightening straps 6 are used to position and compress the top and bottom positions of the patient's chest, respectively, the two tightening straps 6 are located at the top and bottom positions of the patient's chest. The bottom position is fixed to the first fabric piece 21 via the fastener 5. Then, pull the two ends of the two tightening straps 6 to tighten the chest area and apply pressure to the patient's chest. After that, the two ends of the tightening straps 6 are glued and fixed by the adhesive piece 7, so that the tightening straps 6 can keep tightening and applying pressure to the patient's chest area. Through the design of the fastener 5, the two tightening straps 6 and the first fabric piece 21 are integrated, which improves the positioning effect of the tightening straps 6 and effectively prevents the tightening straps 6 from shifting when the patient is active. This improves the pressure effect on the patient's chest area. In case the tightening straps 6 shift, the prosthesis will shift. Improving the positioning and pressure effect on the chest area is beneficial to the patient's postoperative recovery after breast reconstruction.

[0040] In this embodiment, the connecting component 3 includes a first connecting fabric 31, a second connecting fabric 32, a first zipper tape 33, a second zipper tape 34, and a zipper head 35. The first connecting fabric 31 and the second connecting fabric 32 are respectively sewn to the ends of the two front pieces 1. The first connecting fabric 31 is sewn to the end of the first connecting fabric 31 with the first zipper tape 33, and the second connecting fabric 32 is sewn to the second zipper tape 34. The zipper head 35 is slidably connected to the first zipper tape 33, and the second zipper tape 34 can engage with the first zipper tape 33 through the zipper head 35, so that... When in use, zipper tape 2 34 engages with zipper tape 1 33 via zipper head 35, thereby fixing the first connecting fabric 31 and the second connecting fabric 32, achieving the effect of connecting and fixing the two front pieces 1. Conversely, pulling zipper head 35 causes zipper tape 2 34 and zipper tape 1 33 to disengage, thereby separating zipper tape 2 34 and zipper tape 1 33, achieving the effect of separating the first connecting fabric 31 and the second connecting fabric 32, achieving the effect of disassembling and separating the two front pieces 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are multiple zipper straps 34 arranged in a horizontal linear array. By setting the number of zipper straps 34 to be multiple and arranged in a horizontal linear array, the cross-sectional length of the connecting component 3 is different when different zipper straps 34 engage with zipper strap 33, resulting in different cross-sectional circumferences of the bra. When wearing the bra, the patient can select one of the multiple zipper straps 34 according to their own chest size, so that it engages with zipper strap 33 through the zipper head 35, increasing applicability.

[0044] In this embodiment, the adhesive component 7 includes a hook and loop fastener 71 and a hook and loop hook fastener 72. The hook and loop fastener 71 is sewn to one end of one side of the tightening band 6, and the hook and loop hook fastener 72 is sewn to the other end of the tightening band 6 away from the hook and loop fastener 71. The hook and loop hook fastener 72 can be bonded to the hook and loop fastener 71. In use, after the patient puts on the bra, when tightening the top and bottom of the chest with the two tightening bands 6 respectively, the patient manually pulls the two ends of the upper tightening band 6. Place one end of the tightening band 6 against the top of the patient's chest, then tighten the other end of the tightening band 6 so that it is also against the top of the patient's chest. Make the hook side 72 of the other end of the tightening band 6 stick to the loop side 71 of the hook side, thereby fixing both ends of the tightening band 6 and achieving the effect of tightening the top of the chest through the tightening band 6. Similarly, manually pulling the two ends of the tightening band 6 located below can achieve the effect of tightening the bottom of the chest through the tightening band 6 located below.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fastener 5 includes a second hook and loop fastener 51 sewn onto the side of the first fabric piece 21 away from the connecting component 3, and a second hook and loop fastener 52 sewn onto one side of the tightening strap 6, which can be bonded to the second hook and loop fastener 51. In use, the second hook and loop fastener 52 on the tightening strap 6 is bonded to the second hook and loop fastener 51 on the first fabric piece 21, thereby fixing the tightening strap 6 and the first fabric piece 21. The operation is simple and convenient to use.

[0046] Example 3

A first connecting fabric strap 41 is sewn to one side of the top of the first fabric piece 21, and a fixing ring 43 is fixed to the end of the first connecting fabric strap 41. A second connecting fabric strap 42, which can pass through the fixing ring 43, is sewn to the top of the front piece 1. A hook and loop fastener 45 is sewn to the bottom of one side of the second connecting fabric strap 42, and a hook and loop fastener 44 is sewn to the top of the second connecting fabric strap 42. In use, the end of the connecting strip 42 is passed through the fixing ring 43 and the hook and loop fasteners 44 and 45 on the connecting strip 42 are bonded together to form the shoulder strap 4. When wearing this bra, the patient can adjust the bonding position between the hook and loop fasteners 44 and 45 according to the distance between their shoulder and breast, thereby adjusting the length of the shoulder strap 4 formed between the connecting strip 41 and the connecting strip 42, increasing the patient's comfort when wearing this bra.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first fabric piece 21 has perforations 211 arranged in a horizontal linear array, and the hook and loop fastener 51 has through holes 511 arranged in a horizontal linear array. The multiple through holes 511 correspond one-to-one with the multiple perforations 211, and the multiple through holes 511 are connected to the multiple perforations 211. The second fabric piece 22 has multiple ventilation holes 221. Through the design of the ventilation holes 221 and the perforations 211, the through holes 511 are connected to the perforations 211, thereby increasing the breathability of the back piece 2 and increasing the comfort of the patient when wearing this bra.

[0050] In this embodiment, a restraining strap 8 is sewn onto the upper tightening strap 6 and onto the outer sides of both covers 12. A Velcro hook-and-loop fastener 81 is sewn onto the bottom side of the restraining strap 8 near the front piece 1. A Velcro hook-and-loop fastener 61, which can be adhered to the Velcro hook-and-loop fastener 81, is sewn onto the lower tightening strap 6 and below the restraining strap 8. By setting two restraining straps 8, after the patient wears this bra, the two tightening straps 6 tighten the top and bottom of the chest respectively, with the two straps located on opposite sides of the patient's two chests. Manually tighten the limiting fabric tape 8 and bond the hook and loop side 81 and hook and loop side 61 on the limiting fabric tape 8. This will help to position the two tightening straps 6 and further enhance the positioning effect between them. It is worth noting that when bonding and positioning the two tightening straps 6 with the first fabric piece 21, first lay the bra flat so that the two limiting fabric tapes 8 are located on the two sides of the cover body 12 that are far apart from each other. Then bond the hook and loop side 52 and hook and loop side 51 to position the tightening straps 6 with the first fabric piece 21.

[0051] In this embodiment, the inner concave surface of the cover 12 is sewn with an inner lining 9, which is made of cotton fabric, to increase the comfort of the patient when wearing the bra.
