Regarding a breast prostheses pad that replaces the breast.

Breast-conserving and radiation surgery to remove only the cancer site, total mastectomy and total mastectomy and removal of the lymph nodes in the armpit, and breast-preserving radiation without removal are the options for breast cancer surgery due to the progression of the cancer. There is a surgical technique of irradiation, so the background is the technique of making underwear that does not amplify the pain in the skin after surgery.

After discharge of the patient who performed the above procedure, the left and right breasts are out of balance, the shape and posture of the breast are biased, postoperative pain, and burn scars caused by irradiation are a symbol of physical pain caused by pain and women.

However, in the underwear as described in Patent Document 1, although the pad can be selected and a plurality of storage locations can be selected, the problem of physical pain of the patient cannot be solved by the structure that emphasizes the shape of the breast.

In addition, the silicon pad can maintain its shape and reproduce its weight, but it is not breathable, which contributes to stuffiness.

Furthermore, by sewing, the mass of the seam becomes a hard core, which stimulates the affected area and amplifies the pain.

Therefore, in the present invention, a flexible clothing fabric is used to form a cup portion that does not require the shape and size of each patient's breast to be selected, and a band-shaped and elastic clothing fabric is used to prevent the underpart and shoulder straps from biting into the affected area. The surface that adheres to the skin is sewn on a flat surface, and there is no lump of seams, and it is a flexible garment fabric that is breathable and quick-drying. It swells with acrylic cotton inside, and has a breast prostheses pad that is heavier with pellets. It can be worn for a long time.

According to the present invention according to claim 1, the symmetrical cup portion has a wide-mouthed horizontal hole that has a reproduction of the shape, swelling, and weight of the removed breast and can store a breast prostheses pad that is comfortable on the skin with a flexible clothing fabric. The pad can be inserted freely, and the cup part is formed with flexible clothing fabric to reduce irritation and oppressive feeling on the affected part of the chest. The under part and shoulder strap part are made of band-shaped clothing fabric and hang on the side. By eliminating the fabric, it does not put a burden on the skin, so it does not amplify pain or discomfort, and the weight keeps the balance of the posture, and it has the effect of making it appear that it has been removed due to the bulge.

The breast prostheses pad is made of flexible garment fabric and has a wide insertion opening, and the inside of the cup is weighted with flexible garment fabric and pellets, and the breast prostheses pad is bulged with acrylic cotton.
