The purpose is to provide a medical corset that is comfortable to use and has excellent durability. [Structure] A thermoplastic shell material (for example, Kuraray Shelf itter ... Trademark of Kuraray Co., Ltd.) that has a width of 12 mm and a thickness of 3 mm and is softened by heating at about 70-80 ° C to be moldable and hardened at about 40 ° C. Into the straightening core material 1, the metal core strip having a width of 5 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm and having a spring property is used as a reinforcing core 2 and a large number of covered core strips 3 are embedded in the longitudinal center at predetermined intervals. A band for wearing a torso which has stretchability such that one side is a male surface 5 of a fastener and the other side is a female surface 6 of a fastener so that they are layered on each other on both sides of the orthodontic band 4 arranged in 7a and 7b are extended.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a medical corset used for fixing and resting an affected part in orthopedic surgery.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In conventional medical corsets, elongated metal strips with spring characteristics were used as orthodontic cores, which can exert an excellent orthodontic effect, but the body shape of the patient. Since it is used in a straight state regardless of the condition, it does not fit when worn on the lower back of the body, and there is local pain, which causes discomfort and makes it uncomfortable to use. A core material has been developed that uses a thermoplastic shell material that is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C to be moldable and hardens at about 40 ° C.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, the medical corset using the thermoplastic shell material as the orthodontic core material, which is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C to become a molding itself and hardens at about 40 ° C, has a corrective function. In addition, since it can be easily deformed according to the body shape of the patient and can be hardened in a fitted state, it is comfortable to use, but there is a fatal defect in that it is easily broken. there were.

The present invention adds a reinforcing structure against breakage of the thermoplastic shell material, makes use of the characteristics of the thermoplastic shell material, secures the correction function, and is easily deformed according to the body shape of the patient. It is an object of the present invention to provide a medical corset which can be cured and can be cured in a fitted state, which is comfortable to use and has excellent durability.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a straightening band portion in which a large number of coated core bands having a straightening core material inserted therein are vertically arranged at predetermined intervals. In a medical corset in which a body band is extended on both sides, a metal strip having spring properties is used as a reinforcing core as the orthodontic core, and this is directly or after being coated with a soft synthetic resin material. It is characterized in that it is covered with a thermoplastic shell material which is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C. to be moldable and hardened at about 40 ° C.

[0006]

[Action]

 The medical corset configured as described above uses a metal strip plate having a spring property as a reinforcing core, which is directly or coated with a soft synthetic resin material and is covered with a thermoplastic shell material to form a straightening core. Since it is made of a material, it is softened by heating with a hair dryer or a small electric iron to a temperature of 70 to 80 ° C to transform it into a desired shape so that it conforms to the patient's body shape, and then the shape is maintained in a restrained state. Then, even if the temperature is returned to room temperature, the reinforcing core prevents breakage, cracking, and the like.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a front view showing a medical corset of the present invention with a part thereof folded, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. To the orthodontic core 1 made of a thermoplastic shell material (for example, Kuraray Shelf Itter ... trademark of Kuraray Co., Ltd.) that softens and becomes moldable when heated to about 0 ° C and hardens at about 40 ° C. For correction, a large number of coated core bands 3 each having a width of 5 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm and a metal band plate having spring characteristics embedded as a reinforcing core 2 at the center in the longitudinal direction are vertically arranged at predetermined intervals. On both sides of the belt portion 4, elastic bands 5a, 7b having elasticity are arranged so that one side is a male surface 5 of the surface fastener and the other side is a female surface 6 of the surface fastener so that they are superposed on each other. It is composed.

The medical corset according to the present invention having the above-described structure is attached to the patient in an orthodontic state to check the use comfort, and then a hair dryer or a small electric iron is used to match the body shape. This is completed by deforming the straightening core 1 by partial heating.

FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 in another embodiment, in which a reinforcing core 2 coated with a soft synthetic resin coating material 8 such as polypropylene is 12 mm wide, A straightening core made of a thermoplastic shell material (for example, Kuraray Shelf Itter ... a trademark of Kuraray Co., Ltd.) that has a thickness of 3 mm and is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C to be moldable and hardens at about 40 ° C. The structure is embedded in the material 1 along the longitudinal direction, and the manufacturing procedure is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the medical corset of the present invention is provided with a torso on both sides of the orthodontic strip, in which a large number of covered core strips in which the orthodontic core is inserted are vertically arranged at predetermined intervals. In a medical corset with an extended band, a thermoplastic shell material that is softened by heating at about 70 to 80 ° C to be moldable and hardens at about 40 ° C is used as the orthodontic core. A metal strip having spring properties was used as a reinforcing core in the thermoplastic shell material, and this was interposed directly or in the state of being covered with a soft synthetic resin material, so that the hair dryer should match the body shape of the patient. Partial heating using a small electric iron or the like makes it possible to easily deform without causing damage or cracks, and to cure the material in that state to ensure the corrective function. Therefore, according to the present invention, a medical corset that fits according to each body shape even if there are individual differences in body shape, does not lose the correction function, is comfortable to use and has excellent durability can do.
