Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to pelvic floor muscle repair pants. [Background technology]

[0002] Pelvic floor dysfunction in women refers to a range of conditions that cause prolapse and ptosis of organs in the pelvic cavity due to dysfunction of the supporting structures of the pelvic floor for a variety of reasons. As China progresses towards an aging society, pelvic floor dysfunction is on the rise year by year, and it is becoming increasingly important that it has a significant impact on the quality of life of elderly women and is likely to cause psychological problems. Pelvic floor muscle exercises have become an emerging activity in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in recent years, and have an important promoting effect on improving pelvic floor function in women.

[0003] In women, the pelvic floor muscles support many organs in the pelvic cavity, including the bladder, uterus, small intestine, and rectum, and their contraction maintains the normal function of these organs. Although the pelvic floor muscles are functionally strong, they are susceptible to injury, which can lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction in women. For example, increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, coughing, etc. can affect pelvic floor muscle function, resulting in urinary and fecal incontinence, uterine prolapse and prolapse, and a decline in the quality of sexual life. Therefore, women undergo pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation after childbirth to protect the function of their pelvic floor muscles.

[0004] There are already commercially available proposals for smart repair pants for the pelvic floor muscles, but when the electrodes of the repair pants are positioned on the inside of the thighs, the repair position is not precise and acts on areas other than the inside of the thighs or the pelvic floor muscles, resulting in a low repair effect. There are also repair pants with positive and negative conductive fabric materials positioned on the left and right, but because the fabric in the crotch area is too large and wide, wrinkles are likely to occur in the fabric due to human movement, and if the positive and negative electrodes come into contact and short out, the product will malfunction. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art and provide pelvic floor muscle repair pants. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pant wear device comprising: a pant body to be worn; and an electrical stimulation member provided on the pant body to be worn; the electrical stimulation member being provided in a crotch region of the pant body to be worn; The electrical stimulation member includes a first flexible electrode and a second flexible electrode that respectively correspond to the front and rear sides of the wearer's pelvic floor muscles to apply electrical stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles, thereby providing pelvic floor muscle repair pants.

[0007] In a more preferred embodiment, the crotch region of the wearable pants body is divided into a front region and a rear region, the first flexible electrode is provided in the front region, and the second flexible electrode is provided in the rear region.

[0011] In a more preferred embodiment, the first flexible electrode and the second flexible electrode are detachably provided on the wearing pants body.

[0012] In a more preferred embodiment, the first flexible electrode and the second flexible electrode are connected to the main body of the wearing pants by magnetic attraction or adhesion.

[0013] In a more preferred embodiment, the wearing pants body includes a first ring connecting portion connected to the first flexible electrode and a second ring connecting portion connected to the second flexible electrode.

[0014] In a more preferred embodiment, the electrical stimulation member further includes a controller provided on the wearable pants body, the controller being configured to generate microcurrent stimulation between the pelvic floor muscles through the first and second flexible electrodes, the electrical stimulation member further including a first electrical connection portion and a second electrical connection portion connected to the controller, the first flexible electrode being detachably connected to the first electrical connection portion, and the second flexible electrode being detachably connected to the second electrical connection portion.

[0015] In a more preferred embodiment, the first flexible electrode and the first electrical connection portion are connected by a metal snap button, and the second flexible electrode and the second electrical connection portion are connected by a metal snap button.

[0016] In a more preferred embodiment, the first and second electrical connection portions and the controller are connected by a conductive coating layer printed on the wearing pants body, The first and second electrical connections are connected to the controller by wires or flexible conductive silicone adhesive.

[0018] In a more preferred embodiment, the first and second flexible electrodes are formed from a silver fiber conductive fabric material.

[0019] In a more preferred embodiment, the first and second flexible electrodes are formed by a conductive coating layer printed on the wearable pants body, Alternatively, the first and second electrical connection parts and the controller are connected by a flexible conductive silicone adhesive.

[0020] In a more preferred embodiment, the first and second flexible electrodes define a plurality of transverse grooves spaced apart along the front-to-rear direction.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The first and second flexible electrodes apply electrical stimulation to the wearer's pelvic floor muscles, respectively, on the anterior and posterior sides of the pelvic floor muscles. Compared to commercially available wearable devices, the pelvic floor muscle repair pants of the present invention have a first flexible electrode and a second flexible electrode placed on both the anterior and posterior sides of the groin, which eliminates the problem of malfunction caused by contact between the positive and negative electrodes compared to placing two electrodes on both the left and right sides of the groin. Furthermore, the design allows for accurate positioning and targeted repair of the pelvic floor muscles, resulting in a wide treatment area, a wide repair range, and a high repair effect. When two electrodes are placed on both the left and right sides of the groin, the pelvic floor muscles are elongated muscles that extend in the anterior-posterior direction, and the repair range (i.e., the length through which current flows) affected by the left and right electrodes is small.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0025] 1 to 5, the pelvic floor muscle repair pants of the present invention comprise a panty body 1 and an electrical stimulation member 10 disposed on the panty body 1. The electrical stimulation member 10 is disposed in a crotch region 11 of the panty body 1, corresponding to the wearer's perineum (the skin between the vagina and anus). The crotch region 11 is the area where the two legs of the pants join, and can be understood as extending from the top to the bottom of the middle portion of this area. It can also be understood as corresponding to the base of the thighs or the area where the legs join, i.e., the area where the feet and torso join. The electrical stimulation member 10 includes first and second flexible electrodes 211, 212, respectively, corresponding to the front and rear of the pelvic floor muscles to apply electrical stimulation to the wearer's pelvic floor muscles. The panty body 1 can be in the shape of flat pants, etc., for convenience when worn by the wearer going out. Compared to commercially available wearable devices, the pelvic floor muscle repair pants of the present invention have a first flexible electrode 211 and a second flexible electrode 212 placed on both the front and back of the groin area 11, which eliminates the problem of malfunction caused by contact between the positive and negative electrodes compared to placing two electrodes on both the left and right sides of the groin area 11. Furthermore, the design allows for accurate positioning at the pelvic floor muscle position, allowing for targeted repair, and the treatment area is wide, resulting in a wide repair range and a high repair effect. When two electrodes are placed on both the left and right sides of the groin area 11, the pelvic floor muscles are long and slender muscles that extend in the front-to-back direction, and the repair range (i.e., the length through which current flows) affected by the electrodes on both the left and right sides is small. However, by placing the first flexible electrode 211 and the second flexible electrode 212 on both the front and back of the groin area 11, the repair range is wide and the repair effect is high. Taking the maximum effective distance of the positive and negative electrodes of a microcurrent as an example, as shown in Figure 2(A), in the present invention, the maximum effective distance when the electrodes are arranged front to back is A, while in the prior art, the maximum effective distance when the electrodes are arranged left to right is B, as shown in Figure 2(B). As shown in Figures 2(A) and 2(B), three points were selected where the effect of the microcurrent was maximum, minimum, and medium distance, and A was much greater than B, which shows that the front to back arrangement of the electrodes provides a wider repair range, a larger effective area acting on the pelvic floor muscles, and a greater repair effect.

[0026] In this embodiment, the crotch region 11 of the wearing pants body 1 is divided into a front region 111 and a rear region 112, the first flexible electrode 211 is provided in the front region 111, and the second flexible electrode is provided in the rear region 112. The front region and the rear region 112 are spaced apart from each other in the front-to-rear direction with a distance between them, with the center line of the crotch region 11 in the width direction as the boundary.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first flexible electrode 211 covers the front portion region 111 and the second flexible electrode 212 covers the rear portion region 112. In some simple alternatives, the first flexible electrode 211 extends at least partially into the rear portion region 112 and the second flexible electrode 212 extends at least partially into the front portion region 111, forming an offset configuration.

[0028] In some simple alternative examples, the crotch region 11 of the wearing pants body 1 further includes an avoidance region 113 that the first and second flexible electrodes 211, 212 avoid, the avoidance region 113 corresponding to the wearer's clitoris and anus. By providing the avoidance region 113, it is possible to prevent current stimulation from being applied to the wearer's clitoris or anus.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first flexible electrode 211 and the second flexible electrode 212 are detachably attached to the wear pants body 1. The first and second flexible electrodes 211, 212 are connected to the wear pants body 1 by magnetic attraction or adhesive. Specifically, the wear pants body 1 includes a first ring connecting part 121 connected to the first flexible electrode 211 and a second ring connecting part 122 connected to the second flexible electrode 212. The first and second ring connecting parts 121, 122 may be rubber ring magnets sewn by a sewing process, and the edges of the first and second flexible electrodes 211, 212 may have magnets or magnetic materials for magnetic attraction. Alternatively, the first and second ring connecting parts 121, 122 may be ring-shaped double-sided tape to attach and fix the first flexible electrode 211 and the second flexible electrode 212.

[0030] The electrical stimulation member 10 further includes a controller 100 disposed on the wearable pants body 1 to generate microcurrent stimulation between the pelvic floor muscles through the first and second flexible electrodes 211 and 212. The electrical stimulation member 10 further includes a first electrical connection portion 231 and a second electrical connection portion 232 to which the controller 100 is connected. The first flexible electrode 211 is detachably connected to the first electrical connection portion 231, and the second flexible electrode 212 is detachably connected to the second electrical connection portion 232. Specifically, the first flexible electrode 211 and the first electrical connection portion 231 are connected by a metal snap button 233, and the second flexible electrode 212 and the second electrical connection portion 232 are connected by a metal snap button 233. The first and second flexible electrodes 211 and 212 can be easily attached to and detached from the crotch region 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first and second electrical connection parts 231, 232 and the controller 100 are connected by a conductive coating layer printed on the wearable pants body 1, which can prevent discomfort when worn due to wires protruding from the surface of the underwear. In some simple alternative examples, the first and second electrical connection parts 231, 232 and the controller 100 are connected by wires or flexible conductive silicone adhesive.

[0032] In this embodiment, the controller 100 is detachably connected to the pants body 1, and the detachable manner is to attach it to the outside of the pants body 1 by using a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first and second flexible electrodes 211, 212 are made of a silver fiber conductive fabric material, or made of a flexible conductive silicone adhesive. The first and second flexible electrodes 211, 212 have a plurality of horizontal grooves 234 spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction. The fabric of the pants body 1 is ultra-fine nylon or other skin-friendly fabric.

[0034] In some simple alternatives, the first and second flexible electrodes 211, 212 are formed by a conductive coating layer printed on the wearable pants body, or the first and second electrical connection portions 231, 232 and the controller 100 are connected by a flexible conductive silicone adhesive.

[0035] The role of the lateral groove 234 is to 1. Precision fit: The first flexible electrode 211 and the second flexible electrode 212 are pressed into a long shape one by one through an embossing process, which allows them to elastically fit the body, with alternating concave and convex textures, allowing the fabric to easily bend and deform to fit the shape of the pelvic floor muscles, while providing a certain degree of support. This replaces the role of support cotton, etc., and allows for a precise fit to the skin, without the stinging sensation caused by strong localized microcurrent stimulation, and is comfortable to breathe, providing the wearer with the most effective and comfortable restorative experience, with a good experience. 2. Effective moisture retention: (1) Material: Silver fiber conductive cloth is usually composed of silver fiber and a substrate. The silver fiber itself has excellent conductivity and water absorption properties. (2) Shape: It has a long, uneven design, the main purpose of which is to increase the contact area and friction force. When water is sprayed onto the conductive cloth, the water molecules come into contact with the grooves. Due to its special shape and rough surface, the water molecules are adsorbed into the grooves, storing more moisture. The temperature is lower than on a flat surface, making the moisture less likely to evaporate, and providing effective moisture retention. (3) Adhesion: The surface of the long, uneven structure has adhesive properties, that is, the surface has an adhesive effect on the liquid, which resists the flow of the liquid and causes some retention of the liquid on the surface of the structure. (4) Capillary phenomenon: The phenomenon in which liquid flows in fine channels due to surface tension. In the long, uneven structure, the fine recesses and protrusions on the surface allow the liquid to form a series of fine channels on the surface of the structure, resulting in capillary phenomenon. (5) Self-attraction: This is the attraction caused by the gravitational action of an object. In the case of a long, uneven structure, the minute concave and convex parts on the surface of the structure cause the liquid to form a certain degree of gravitational distribution on the surface of the structure, resulting in self-attraction.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any insubstantial modification of the present invention by a person skilled in the art using the above idea within the technical scope described in the present invention will be considered an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
