Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of breast shaping technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable breast reconstruction and shaping underwear. Background Technology

[0002] Breast cancer ranks second in incidence among malignant tumors in women and is a killer threatening women's health. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of breast cancer treatment, the long-term quality of life of breast cancer patients has received increasing attention from patients and doctors. Meanwhile, due to the progress of socio-economic development, the rate of breast reconstruction in my country has been increasing year by year. However, currently, the commonly used breast reconstruction shaping bras cannot meet the needs of patients after breast reconstruction surgery. The currently used breast reconstruction shaping bras are difficult to fix and shape the reconstructed breast in a personalized way. General shaping bras can only be fixed by filling the inside of the bra with gauze, which has poor fixation effect, unstable pressure, and poor repeatability. After the patient is discharged, it is difficult for family members and doctors in primary hospitals to correctly apply gauze pressure again. The size of breast reconstruction shaping bras is generally only based on the underbust measurement, without distinguishing the cup area. Therefore, it is difficult to flexibly adapt to patients with different breast shapes. It is also not suitable for patients with indwelling drainage tubes after surgery. The underbust measurement of the bra is difficult to match with the drainage tube and its fixation device, which not only increases the patient's discomfort, but also affects the pressure fixation effect, and makes it difficult for doctors to observe the blood supply of the nipple and areola area. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an adjustable breast reconstruction and shaping bra to solve the problems of existing breast reconstruction and shaping bras which are difficult to fix and shape the reconstructed breast in a personalized manner, and can only be fixed by filling the inside of the bra with gauze, resulting in poor fixation effect, unstable pressure, and poor repeatability.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An adjustable breast reconstruction and shaping bra includes a bra body, shoulder straps, wide shoulder straps, and bra adjustment straps. The bra adjustment straps are connected to the lower part of the bra body. The cup area of ​​the bra body is provided with an airbag. The shoulder straps are connected to the upper outer side of the bra body. The top connection of the shoulder straps is connected by Velcro fasteners.

[0005] Furthermore, the central part of the main body of the bra is connected by a first zipper.

[0006] Furthermore, the portion of the bra body above the cup area is made of thickened pure cotton fabric, while the area within 2cm below the cup area is made of highly elastic fabric.

[0007] Furthermore, the airbag portion includes four directional expansion airbags, which are evenly distributed within the cup area.

[0008] Furthermore, the front of the directional expansion airbag is covered with silicone gel and has a crescent-shaped design.

[0009] Furthermore, the directional expansion airbag is equipped with an air valve on its back.

[0010] Furthermore, the bra adjustment strap is connected to the main body of the bra via a third zipper.

[0011] Furthermore, the bra adjustment strap is made of thickened pure cotton material, is 5cm wide, and has four rows of bra hooks at both ends.

[0012] Furthermore, the bra adjustment strap is made of highly elastic pressure fabric, is 4cm wide, and is connected at both ends by a second zipper.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model utilizes a replaceable bra adjustment strap, which can be flexibly applied to various stages after breast reconstruction surgery, and the drainage device does not affect the bra's shaping and pressure on the breast.

[0014] 2. Using four pressure airbags, individualized and standardized pressure shaping of the reconstructed breast can be performed. Because the airbags are directional, they can be adjusted using a syringe, which ensures high repeatability and allows patients' families and doctors in primary hospitals to operate accurately and conveniently.

[0015] 3. The adjustable pressure airbag makes the upper part of the bra more adaptable to different patients, effectively avoiding ineffective pressure such as empty cups. The high-elasticity fabric of the lower part and the high-elasticity bra adjustment pressure band ensure a perfect fit for patients with different lower measurements.

[0016] 4. The detachable silicone airbag can apply pressure to the currently mainstream axillary incision, which can accelerate the incision recovery process. The silicone gel material is not only more skin-friendly, but also adheres to the scar surface, which can reduce the risk of postoperative scar hyperplasia.

[0017] 5. Due to the hollow design of the cup area, the airbag can be quickly removed through the snaps on the outside of the armpit area of ​​the bra, making it easy for doctors to observe the blood supply of the nipple and areola area. Attached Figure Description
