8 results about "Left breast" patented technology

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a hospital gown designed for breast and abdominal examinations. In an illustrative example, the gown includes a first aperture and a second aperture conforming to the breast region. The first aperture may, for example, circumscribe a patient's left breast area, while the second aperture may, for example, circumscribe a patient's right breast area. The gown includes a first flap and a second flap. The first flap may, for example, be releasably coupled to the first aperture by at least one releasable coupler such as snaps or buttons, and the second flap may, for example, be releasably coupled to the second aperture by at least one releasable coupler. Various embodiments may advantageously be configured for selective exposure during examinations, enhancing patient comfort while providing necessary access for medical procedures.

A breast milk expression apparatus includes a bra having a first pad configured to enclose a left breast of a user and a second pad configured to enclose a right breast of the user. A first plurality of cable loops and a second plurality of cable loops have portions that extend circumferentially around outer surfaces of the first and second pads, respectively, and are displaceable relative to the first and second pads, respectively. A unit is configured to be operably coupled to one or both of the first and second pluralities of cable loops to apply a compression-dilation cycle to one or both of the first and second pads by adjusting an effective length of the cable loops operably coupled to the unit. The bra has at least one integral pocket having an opening configured to removably receive the unit such that the pocket encloses and secures at least a portion of the unit during use. In embodiments, the pocket is formed from fabric that is knit or sewn or otherwise joined to or integrated into the bra. Other features and aspects are described and claimed.

FIELD: plastic surgery.SUBSTANCE: under aseptic conditions and endotracheal anesthesia, hydropreparation of the subcutaneous fat tissue is performed with 0.04% ropivacaine solution 60.0 ml with adrenaline 1:100000, a skin incision in the area of the submammary groove of the mammary gland of 3.5–4.0 cm in length is made, the tissues are dissected layer by layer to the fascia of the pectoralis major muscle. A dissection is performed in the Chassignac space to the level of the lower pole of the areola or an incision is made in the skin in the area of the mammary gland along the lower semicircle of the areola, the tissues are perpendicularly dissected layer by layer to the fascia of the pectoralis major muscle. Next, dissection is performed in the Chassignac space to the level of the submammary groove, and the lateral edge of the right pectoralis major muscle is isolated. The retropectoral pocket for the implant is formed using blunt and sharp methods. The lower medial bundle of the pectoralis major muscle is mobilized to the level of 4 o'clock on a conventional clock dial for the right breast and to the level of 8 o'clock on a conventional clock dial for the left breast. Partial vertical myotomy of the free muscle flap is performed. The distal fragments of the pectoralis major muscle are fixed at three points to the posterior surface of the gland with an atraumatic Vikryl 2-0 thread at the level of the nipple-areolar complex. A silicone implant is placed into the formed pocket, and the implant is evenly distributed and centered within it.EFFECT: preventing uncontrolled cranialization of the pectoralis major muscle flaps during vertical myotomy in dual-plane augmentation mammoplasty.1 cl, 2 ex

This invention discloses a local compression hemostatic chest band for unilateral mastectomy, comprising an elastic band that fits over the chest, the band being elastic and wrapping the entire chest, and a shoulder strap that can be adjusted for tightness. The band itself can also be designed for adjustable tightness. It also includes multiple columnar compression strips for right mastectomy. The left ends of the compression strips are connected via a connecting part to a positioning mechanism that fits over the left breast, achieving a fixed-distance limit with the left breast as the center. This restricts the distance to the left breast, allowing rotation only around the left breast, preventing vertical or horizontal movement. The right end of each compression strip is bent backward in an "L" shape to conform to the contour of one side of the chest, achieving rotational limitation. The compression strips are positioned on both sides, with the right end bent backward to conform to the right side of the chest, forming a bend.

A breast milk expression apparatus includes a bra having a first pad configured to surround the left breast of a user and a second pad configured to surround the right breast of the user. First and second pluralities of cable loops have portions that extend circumferentially about an outer surface of the first and second pads and that are displaceable relative to the first and second pads. respectively. A unit is configured to operably couple to one or both of the first and second pluralities of cable loops to apply compression-expansion cycles to one or both of the first and second pads by adjusting effective length of cable loops operably coupled thereto. The bra has at least one integral pocket with an opening that is configured to removably receive the unit such that the pocket encloses and secures at least part of the unit during use. In embodiments. the pocket is formed from fabric that is knitted or sewn or otherwise joined to or integrated into the bra. Other features and aspects are described and claimed.

A gamma radiation imaging system for imaging of both the left and right breast of a female person simultaneously. The system comprises a frame, a left breast imaging assembly and a right breast imaging assembly supported by the frame. Each imaging assembly comprises a set immobilization plates and at least a gamma camera. Seen in an anatomical frontal view of the torso of the female person, the left and right breast imaging assemblies are supported by the frame in a downward pointed V-arrangement.

This garment (1) for covering the chest is provided with: a main body section (2) having a front section (3) for covering the chest, a back section (4) connected from the back side to the axilla-side end of the front section (3), and a pair of left and right shoulder strap sections (5 (5R, 5L)) connected to the upper end of the front section (3) and connected to the upper end of the back section (4) on the back side across the ridge line of the shoulder; a first fixing part (7) which is located on the outer surface side of the main body part (2), covers the left breast from the axilla side and the upper side of the left breast, and extends to the right axilla side part; and a second fixing part (8) which is located on the outer surface side of the main body part (2), covers the right breast from the axillary side and the upper side of the right breast, and extends to the left axillary side part.

Methods and systems are provided for automatically assessing a level of BPE of a patient of an imaging system based on one or more medical images of one or more breasts of the patient, using a deep learning (DL) model. The medical images may include contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) images, magnetic resonance (MR) images, or a different type of images. The one or more images may include one or more images of a same breast, where the BPE assessment outputted by the DL model may include a score, such as a percentage of BPE detected in the images. The one or more images may include images of a left breast and a right breast of the patient, where the BPE assessment outputted by the DL model may include whether an asymmetry between BPE assessments of the left breast and the right breast is detected.
