Description

The invention relates to a mold for the above-mentioned products for light to heavy compression of body parts.

A slight or severe compression is z. As used in medical compression and pain therapy and in leisure and sports to relieve a disturbed or damaged venous and / or lymphatic system or the connective tissue and the fascia. In leisure and sports, it is used to compress various body parts. The form also serves functional reasons in order to facilitate and improve the removal of the lymphatic load from the epidermal tissue and the interstitium, the so-called intercellular tissue. This is by means of a bandage, an adhesive bandage, an orthosis or a specially trained garment, such. B. a compression stocking or functional underwear exerts a certain pressure on the body part to be treated, and to relieve the epidermis and the interstice, as well as to prevent the development of edema and lymphedema, or to reduce the size of existing edema and lymphedema by drainage and to improve the venous return. For patches and tapes the effect is improved by special application techniques.

It is customary that the shape on the bandages used, Adhesive bandages, orthoses and garments on their on the body part coming to the plant side of the 2 against each other running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight always belongs to the inside and that means that this thus rests on the physical heap and is to provide partial increase in pressure, with light or heavy pressure on the body part with elevations and depressions or structures in order to improve the effectiveness of the mold according to the invention. Applying garments and orthoses and applying certain techniques and dressings to the skin will trigger a micromassage. Due to the shape of the two mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end of a straight line, the micromass is amplified. Through the mutually running structure of the form a stimulus is triggered not only on the connective tissue but also on the fascia. Through the movements of the body as a whole, through the respiration, as well as the arterial and venous pressure or negative pressure in the interstitium the above-mentioned effects are exacerbated. That is, the shape and physiological movement of the body together make up the three-dimensional effect. My request for 2 mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end of a straight line, must be applied or attached in the physiological direction of the lymphatic system, that is, the higher the pressure of the applied material on the skin, the more so Attention to the physiological direction of lymphatic drainage. Against the background of this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a mold for the above-mentioned product for light to heavy compression or negative pressure of body parts, which is zuachte the respective Anlegeetechnik, with which an improved drainage effects can be achieved. Another object of the invention is to provide a bandage or tape material, a wound dressing and the creation of garments that rest directly on the skin and to equip with this of specified shape.

This object is achieved preferably by the above-mentioned form of the two mutually-running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end a straight line, for compression by the application techniques, the light or heavy pressure and / or negative pressure of body parts or glued to the skin material with the features specified in the claims, by a dressing or a wound dressing with the features specified in the claims, by garments that rest directly on the skin, with the features specified in the claims and an orthosis with the features specified in claim. Advantageous developments of the shape of the dressing and / or adhesive dressing, as well as the garment and the orthosis emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings. In this case, according to the invention, the features specified in the subclaims and the description further in each case but also in combination, the solutions according to the invention according to the claims further. The inventive form for light or heavy compression or by applying techniques to achieve a "negative pressure" of body parts, which is intended especially for the medical but also in leisure and sports, compression therapy, has a flat base on which the shape of the 2 against each other current wave structures, wherein one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line, incorporated or worked up. For the purposes of the invention, this form of compression therapy is to be understood as meaning any product coming into contact with parts of the body which thus preferably exerts a certain pressure and / or negative pressure on these body parts. This can z. B. tight-fitting garments o. Ä., In particular, leisure, sports or functional clothing.

According to the invention, the at least one structure or respectively the structures have respective sections that align the two mutually traveling wave structures, wherein one of the two waves at the end comprises a straight line obliquely and / or transversely to its base direction.

Conveniently, on the basis of the inventive form with the two mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line, a plurality of structures in their basic direction side by side, one above the other and / or formed one behind the other. Here, the basic directions in the individual structure will certainly differ, but it is advantageous if adjacent structures overlap, it is advantageous that adjacent structures forms an unhindered drainage area for the tissue fluid to be discharged from the lymph, it is on the Lymphabflußrichtung respect, think highly of. A preferred embodiment is one in which adjacent structures run essentially parallel and / or behind one another, to one another and one above the other, that is to say in each case have a common basic direction. For bandages, wound dressings, patches and tapes that are applied with pressure, the flow direction of the lymph is to be observed. The cross-sectional contour of the structure is in principle also arbitrary. However, an embodiment is preferred in which the structures of the two mutually-running wave structures, one of the two waves including a straight line at the end, are aligned with the flat side of the base. The height of these bumps, that is, the distance of the apex of the bulges from the base, as well as the maximum width of the bulges depending on the drainage task up to 30 mm.

More preferred are adjacent structures that are spaced from each other. This is advantageous insofar as it creates an intermediate space between the structures in which the tissue fluid displaced by the structures can flow away without major external pressure or at least significantly less external pressure. In the decongestive therapy one works mostly with bandages and support stockings with external high pressure. The distance between adjacent structures may preferably be up to 30 mm, wherein the ultimately selected distance will be appropriate to choose depending on the drainage task to be performed. Optionally, adjacent structures may also have different distances from each other on a common basis.

In addition, it may also be advantageous if adjacent structures, as provided by a further preferred embodiment of the mold according to the invention, essentially intersect directly with one another, side by side and one above the other, and rest against one another. That is, the structures can be arranged virtually directly next to each other and / or behind each other and / or one above the other in a negligible distance to each other. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly large or small surface pressure and / or negative pressure, depending on the application technique, on the tissue to be treated.

The basis of the inventive form of the two mutually running wave structures, wherein one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line can advantageously form a textile, but other materials are not inferred. Accordingly, a composite of natural and / or plastic fibers, for example in the form of a cloth, form the basis. The use of elastic cotton or synthetic fibers may give the base the elasticity that is usually required in products, preferably for medical compression therapy. In addition, it may also be advantageous if the base is formed by a film or a foam body. So z. For example, preferably gas-impermeable plastic films, at least one intended to rest on a part of the body, form an inflatable compression sleeve. The use of a foam body as the basis on which the two mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight, or is attached, for example, has the advantage that such a foam body is very easy to produce and, if appropriate, can be easily processed , Included here are the shoulder pads of the bra straps and the bra underbust band.

It is also advantageous in orthoses, if the basis for the material according to the invention of light metals whose general metals and alloys have a density below 5 g / cm ³ , such. As titanium, aluminum and magnesium, and plastics with high melting temperature, carbon or other metals. In the production of orthoses, at least one structure of the two can run against each other Wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight, on and / or processed or punched out and glued.

The requested structure may be advantageously applied on the base. Thus, the structure of the two mutually-running wave structures, wherein one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line, for example, be sprayed or glued on the macroscopically smooth surface of the base and preferably on textile bases also based on and worked up. Likewise, the base may form the elevation into which the structure of the two mutually traveling wave structures, one of the two waves at the end including a straight line, can be deepened.

In addition, this structure can advantageously also form part of the base, so be an integral part of the base.

Such a configuration is particularly useful when a plastic film or a foam body or materials for orthoses form the basis, since the two mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight at such bases in a simple manner in the Production of the base, that is the plastic film, the light metal, the plastic, the carbon, the titanium or other metals or the foam body, can be formed at this base as a survey or depression.

The invention also relates to all types of products for the compression of body parts made of a material as described above. Thus, the invention also relates to a dressing and adhesive dressing such. As a paving or tape material. For the purposes of the invention, dressings are to be understood as meaning all means with which a body part can be covered over a wide area in order to protect it, for example, from harmful environmental influences or mechanical stress which serve for easy or severe compression, haemostasis or secretion absorption. Accordingly, it may preferably be medical associations such. B. in the form of bandages, bandages and wound dressings or in the field of sports, as well as in the leisure of all garments that are applied to the body such. Functional underwear, shoulder pads, bras, and / or all sorts of stockings that act on bandages used to prevent injury.

The dressing according to the invention, in particular the medical dressing and adhesive bandage, is at least partially and preferably in an area intended for direct abutment on a body part, from the inventive shape of the two mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves including a straight line at the end formed having at least one of the features described above. A bandage may be formed as a bandage to be wrapped around a body part or as a tubular cuff. The basic dimensions, ie length and width of a bandage bandage, are arbitrary. The dimensions of a bandage formed as a sleeve are typically adapted to the size and shape of the body part to which it is to be applied. In the dressing according to the invention, the basic direction of the two mutually running wave structures, wherein one of the two waves at the end include a straight line, in the discharge direction of the lymph, wherein the circumferential extent is to be understood by the longitudinal extent of a trained as a tubular sleeve bandage. The orientation of the two mutually traveling wave structures, wherein one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line on the bandage is such that the said wave structure extends in the longitudinal direction of the outflow direction of the lymph. This is advantageous in that the free spaces formed therebetween, when the bandage is for example applied to a leg, extend in the longitudinal direction of 1 ° -180 ° of the leg. This is advantageous in that the two mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line, in the tissue between the structures displaced tissue fluid unhindered and possibly by the light or heavy pressure occurring depending on the Anlegetechnik or also negative pressure can flow better. The movement creates a micro-massage that acts as long as the structure described is applied to the body.

The dressing may be advantageous as an adhesive dressing such. B. be formed as Pflaser and / or tape material. Thus, for example, a bandage designed as a bandage can be covered with an adhesive and thus be formed as an adhesive bandage. An adhesive or adhesive may be applied to at least a portion of a flat side of a bandage or bandage. Here, it is preferably provided to apply the adhesive on the flat side of the bandage or the bandage, which is equipped according to the invention with elevations or depressions. Thus, it is possible to apply the adhesive directly to the base material or to use the spaces between adjacent peaks as a depot for the adhesive. Typically, the structures of the two mutually traveling wave structures, wherein one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line with an adhesive, however, the intermediate structures may be associated with the adhesive and the structure in this case acts as a recess.

The invention further relates to a garment which is at least partially formed from a material having at least one of the properties described above. Such a garment can form a product for the compression of body parts, at least in individual areas. Advantageously, the garment can be a stocking. Such stockings are known as compression and / or support stockings and serve, for example, to maintain a decongestive state in a leg, arm or torso or to improve the visual outcome, but normal stockings or tights are also included here as well as both legs and arms , Further advantageous, the Garment according to the invention also be a brassiere, which can be used for example after breast-conserving breast cancer surgery. After such an operation, complications such as edema, lymphatic edema, or fibrosis may occur, but the invention may be used in combination of all the points. Here, a manual lymph drainage can lead to relief, to maintain this state of the brassiere according to the invention can be used, which is equipped at least in the affected breast receiving basket with the material of the invention. In this section, the shoulder pads are also included. The shoulder pads are used to spread the bra and the underbust band of the bra.

In addition, any other garments from the inventive 2 against each other running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight line can be made. Thus, it is conceivable, for example, to use this material also in tights, bodices, swimwear, underwear, leisure and sportswear or functional underwear, slimming support laundry and the like, since the shape of the two mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end of a straight line includes, in addition to the prominent drainage properties, for example, a better absorption of sweat, an improvement in the blood supply to the muscles and thus can improve muscular performance.

The micromassage and the action on the fascia must also be included.

Furthermore, the invention relates to an orthosis. A on the inside of the orthosis with the inventively ausgestalten form of the 2 against each other running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end includes a straight, significantly reduces the pressure caused by the orthosis pressure on the entire surface of the skin, exactly at the point where the structure of the invention is located.

The 2 mutually running wave structures, one of the two waves at the end of a straight line brings bumps with highs and lows on the skin, thereby creating the so-called pressure on the heights, a negative pressure on the depths. Depending on the technique of how the bandages or tapes are applied, the osmotic pressure and suction in the interstitium / intercellular tissue changes. The movement creates the so-called micromassage and thus the three-dimensional effect in the depth of the tissue, on muscles, tendons and ligaments and on the fascia.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments illustrated in the drawings. In the drawings shows:
