AI Technical Summary
Existing compression bras are not optimally adaptable to varying lymphedema conditions, which is a common complication after breast cancer therapy, leading to ineffective management of secondary lymphedema, as they do not provide flexible adjustment to accommodate changing edema levels.
A compression bra with receiving devices for interchangeable lymphatic pads, allowing for flexible adjustment of compression levels by replacing pads of different sizes, combined with structured lymph pads made of foam cubes for enhanced air supply and pressure distribution, and designed to exert decongesting pressure effectively.
Enables optimal and flexible management of lymphedema by allowing the bra to be tailored to the patient's condition, providing consistent decongesting pressure and potentially slowing the progression of lymphedema through adjustable compression.
