(First embodiment)
In this first embodiment, the pain relief outer garment after breast cancer surgery (hereinafter also simply referred to as pain relief garment) is of the type in which the sleeve passes only one arm. As shown in FIG. 1, a pain relieving outer garment 10 includes an outer garment body 13 having a body part 11 surrounding at least a trunk and a shoulder, and a sleeve part 12 through which at least one arm passes. On the inner surface of the portion 14 surrounding the shoulder and the side, a pulling member 15 for pulling the side portion upward is provided. The pulling member (power net) 15 is formed into a net shape (net shape) from a stretchable material, is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is sewn and held on the inner surface of a portion 14 surrounding the shoulder and side by a sewing portion 16. Yes. As shown in FIG. 2, the outer jacket main body 13 is cut off at one place on the body portion 11 and can be joined by the first surface fastener 17 a and the second surface fastener 17 b, and is easy to wear.

  The outer jacket body 13 is formed of, for example, a circular knitted fabric of 98% by mass of cotton and 2% by mass of polyurethane, and its elastic modulus is 200% in the warp direction and 160% in the weft direction. This fabric has a hygroscopic property to absorb sweat. On the other hand, the pulling member 15 is formed in a net shape with 80% by mass of polyurethane and 20% by mass of nylon, and its elastic modulus is 150% in the warp direction and 170% in the weft direction. Here, the elastic modulus means 150% when a material having a length of 10 cm extends to 15 cm, for example.

  The outer jacket body 13 and the pulling member 15 are formed so that the direction in which they are well stretched is the pulling direction X indicated by the arrow in FIG. That is, the longitudinal direction of the outer jacket body 13 is set to the pulling direction X, and the weft direction of the pulling member 15 is set to the pulling direction X. The expansion / contraction ratios in the pulling direction X of the pulling member 15 and the outer jacket body 13 other than the pulling member 15 are preferably 110 to 150% and 140 to 200%, respectively, and are 120 to 140% and 160 to 190%, respectively. Is more preferable. By setting the stretch rate in the pull-up direction X of the pull-up member 15 and the outer jacket body 13 other than the pull-up member 15 within the above ranges, the pulling force that pulls up the side works properly, and the pain at the base of the armpit or arm Can be effectively reduced.

  Further, the stretchability of the pulling member 15 in the pulling direction X is set to be smaller than the stretchability of the outer jacket body 13 other than the pulling member 15. With this configuration, it is possible to generate a pulling force that pulls up the sides based on the pulling member 15. The difference in expansion / contraction ratio between the pulling member 15 and the outer jacket body 13 other than the pulling member 15 is preferably 30 to 50%. In the first embodiment, the difference in expansion / contraction rate is 30% (200% -170%). By setting the difference in the expansion / contraction ratio in this way, it is possible to appropriately generate a pulling force that pulls up the side. When the difference between the expansion and contraction rates is less than 30%, the pulling force for pulling up the armpits is insufficient, and the pain at the armpits and arm portions cannot be sufficiently reduced. On the other hand, if the difference in expansion / contraction ratio exceeds 50%, the pulling force that pulls up the armpits is too strong, and on the contrary, the user feels uncomfortable.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pulling member 15 is configured in a bag shape with the side contact portions 18 being doubled, and a cushion material 19 is accommodated and held therein. As this cushion material 19, what is used as shoulder pads, such as soft resin foams, such as a polyurethane foam, and felt, is used.

The first hook-and-loop fastener 17a is formed wider than the second hook-and-loop fastener 17b, the position where the second hook-and-loop fastener 17b is joined to the first hook-and-loop fastener 17a can be changed, and the body size (chest circumference) can be changed. In addition, the pain relief outerwear 10 can be worn.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the outer circumferential length of the pulling member 15 is set to be, for example, 2-3 cm shorter than the outer circumferential length of the sleeve portion 12. Then, with the sleeve 12 turned upside down, the pulling member 15 is attached to a portion 14 surrounding the shoulder and the side through the stretched sleeve portion 12 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Is sewn to the region 14 surrounding the. Thus, by setting the outer peripheral length of the pulling member 15 to be shorter than the outer peripheral length of the sleeve portion 12 and extending the pulling member 15, the pulling effect by the pulling member 15 can be effectively expressed.

Next, the action of the pain relief outerwear 10 configured as described above will be described.
When the pain relief outerwear 10 is worn, one arm is passed through the sleeve portion 12 with the trunk portion 11 shown in FIG. 2 open, and the trunk portion 11 is wound around the trunk. And as shown in FIG. 4, the 2nd surface fastener 17b is affixed on the appropriate position of the 1st surface fastener 17a. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, the pain relief outerwear 10 can be easily worn.

  In this state, the stretching member 15 of the pain relief outerwear 10 is set to 170% in the pulling direction X, and is set to be 30% smaller than the stretching rate in the pulling direction X of the outer body 13 other than the lifting member 15. ing. That is, the extension of the pulling member 15 is small, in other words, it is possible to develop a force for pulling up the armpits and arm bases. For this reason, the side and the base part of the arm can be lifted and supported, and the pain of the side part and the base part of the arm can be relieved.
