Breast expansion cup for breast cancer diagnosis

Abstract

To enable breast cancer diagnosis to be performed multidirectionally and accurately through stereoscopic diagnosis by allowing visual observation and X-ray imaging from the lateral side, in addition to mammography and ultrasound examination as conventional diagnostic methods.SOLUTION: The solution is achieved by placing a breast cup over the breast, creating a vacuum therein to expand the breast in the forward direction, so that breast cancer diagnosis can be performed in a multidirectional and reliable manner.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a breast expansion cup for breast cancer diagnosis. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, methods for diagnosing breast cancer include mammography and ultrasound, but there has been no method for diagnosing it three-dimensionally. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for diagnosing breast cancer in a multifaceted and reliable manner by performing a three-dimensional diagnosis in addition to the conventional diagnostic methods. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. A breast cup 1 is made of transparent plastic and has a flange 2 with an air vent 3 at the top. A flange holder 4 is made of a thin plastic plate whose inner diameter reaches the base of the flange 2 and whose outer diameter is larger than that of the flange 2 and has a knob 6. Medical adhesive 7 is applied to the entire surface of one side of the flange holder 4, and an adhesive pad 8 with a knob 6 is made of oil paper and has the same diameter as the outer diameter of the flange holder 4. The flange holder 4 is then passed from the top of the breast cup 1 and adhered to the back of the flange 2, and the adhesive pad 8 is attached to the surface of the medical adhesive 7. The present invention can be manufactured in large, medium and small sizes so that each person can use the one that suits them best. The breast cup 1 can be made of an elastic material so that it fits comfortably around the breast. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] Since the present invention is configured as described above, when a breast cancer examination is performed, first the adhesive tape 8 is removed, the flange 2 is placed around the breast, and the flange holder 4 is pressed to fit tightly around the breast. This maintains the airtightness of the breast cup 1, and a vacuum is created by manually removing the air with the air vent 9. As a result, even sagging or small breasts will expand forward within the breast cup 1. Also, even if the breasts are not sagging and are full, they will expand within the breast cup 1 and become more forward than they are now. Therefore, visual diagnosis is possible and X-rays can be taken from the side, so by adding the diagnostic method of the present invention to conventional diagnostic methods, three-dimensional diagnosis can be made, allowing for more multifaceted and accurate diagnosis than is possible with the present invention. After the diagnosis is completed, the breast cup 1 is removed by holding the knob 6 of the flange holder 4, and the medical adhesive 7 adhering to the skin is wiped off to clean it.

[0007] Reference numeral 1 denotes a breast cup with a flange 2 and an air vent 3 at its top. Reference numeral 4 denotes a flange holder with a knob 6 that extends to the base of the flange 2 and has an outer diameter larger than that of the flange 2. Medical adhesive 7 is applied to the entire surface of one side of the flange holder 4, which is passed through the top of the breast cup 1 and adhered to the flange 2. An adhesive pad 8 is then affixed to the medical adhesive 7, and at the time of breast cancer screening, the adhesive pad 8 is removed so that the flange holder 4 is in close contact with the skin around the breast.
