[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical corset used for fixing and resting an affected part in orthopedic surgery.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional medical corset, an elongated metal strip having a spring property has been used as a correction core material, which can exert an excellent correction effect. An alternative to this because it is used in a straight state regardless of the patient's body type, so it does not fit when worn on the lower back of the body, causing local pain and discomfort and making it uncomfortable to use As a core material for correction, a material using a thermoplastic shell material which is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C., becomes freely moldable, and hardens at about 40 ° C. has been developed.

[0003]

As described above, a corset for medical use using a thermoplastic shell material which is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C. and becomes freely moldable at a temperature of about 40 ° C. Can be easily deformed according to the patient's body shape after securing the corrective function,
In addition, since the cured product can be cured in a fitted state, the product has good usability, but has a fatal defect in that it is easily broken.

The present invention relates to a metal band made of a soft synthetic resin coating material.
By adding a reinforcing structure against breakage of the thermoplastic shell material by covering the reinforcing core of the plate, taking advantage of the characteristics of the thermoplastic shell material, securing the reinforcing core in the lengthwise direction, An object of the present invention is to provide a medical corset that can be easily deformed in accordance with a body shape and can be cured in a fitted state, and has good usability and excellent durability.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a correction band portion in which a large number of coated core bands into which a correction core material is inserted are vertically arranged at predetermined intervals. On both sides,
In a medical corset in which a band for wearing a torso is extended, a reinforcing core of a metal band plate having a correcting function in a length direction.
After covering (2) with the soft synthetic resin material (8) , 70-
It is softened by heating at about 80 ° C and becomes freely moldable.
Orthodontic core made of thermoplastic shell material that cures at about ℃
It is characterized by being covered with a material (1) .

[0006]

The medical corset constructed as described above has a long length.
Soft metal reinforcing strip with spring properties in the vertical direction
After covering with synthetic resin material, it was further covered with a correction core made of thermoplastic shell material, so that it maintains the spring characteristics of the metal strip with the correction function in the longitudinal direction , and is reinforced.
Since the core is covered with a soft synthetic resin coating material, breakage and cracking
The disadvantages of the fragile thermoplastic shell material, such as
Make full use of both material properties by coating with soft synthetic resin
I was able to. Therefore, the reinforcing core has a straightening function in the length direction.
After being secured, it is softened by partial heating at about 70 to 80 ° C and deformed to a desired shape using a hair dryer, small electric iron, etc., so as to match the patient's body shape, and then the shape is maintained in a constrained state. Even if the temperature is returned to normal temperature, a medical corset with excellent durability that does not break can be provided.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a medical corset of the present invention with a part thereof bent, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, which has a width of 12 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. , 7
It is softened by heating at about 0 to 80 ° C and becomes freely moldable.
5 mm in width and 0.5 mm in thickness into a correction core material (1) made of a thermoplastic shell material (for example, a trademark of Kuraray Shelfitter Co., Ltd.) which cures at about 0 ° C.
The reinforcing core (2) of a metal strip having a spring property in the length direction is coated with a soft synthetic resin covering material such as polypropylene.
As shown in FIG. 1, a large number of coated core strips (3) covered with (8) and having a reinforcing core (2) of the metal strip buried at the center in the longitudinal direction are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. Orthodontic band
On both sides of (4) , one side shall be a hook-and-loop fastener male face (5) ,
The other one is a waistband band (7) having elasticity so as to be layered on each other as a female surface fastener (6).
a) (7b) is extended.

[0008] The medical corset according to the present invention constructed as described above is worn on a patient in a straightened state, and after checking the comfort of use, a hair dryer or a small electric iron is used to match the body shape. It is completed by deforming the core material (1) for correction by partial heating.

[0009]

As described above, the medical corset of the present invention has a large number of coated core bands in which a correction core material is inserted, and is provided on both sides of a correction band portion vertically disposed at predetermined intervals. In a medical corset in which a torso wearing band is extended,
As the core material for correction, a thermoplastic shell material that is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C., becomes freely moldable, and cures at about 40 ° C. is used, and into the thermoplastic shell material,
Soften the reinforcing core of a metal strip with spring characteristics in the length direction.
Since it was interposed in a state covered with a synthetic resin coating material ,
Corrupted by partial heating with a hair dryer and a small electric iron, etc., without causing cracking, is easily deformed reinforcing core in the longitudinal direction, the reinforcing core with and cured in that state
The straightening function can be secured in the length direction . Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a medical corset that fits according to each body shape even if there are individual differences in the body shape, does not lose the correction function, has a comfortable use, and is excellent in durability. Can be.
