Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an artificial reshaping pad that is used primarily for the purpose of reshaping the body of women who have had their breasts removed due to mastectomy.

Pads used for the purpose of shaping the body are generally attached to underwear. Such pads are required to have properties similar to those of the body, especially breasts, such as flexibility, elasticity, and hardness, as well as shape retention, the ability to quickly recover from pressure deformation, and appropriate weight. However, until now there has been no pad that fully satisfies these requirements, and the development of one is desired.

The present invention provides a novel artificial orthopedic pad developed based on such demands, and will be specifically explained below with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates a gel-like substance having a semicircular cross section, 2 indicates particles of a low specific gravity substance dispersed within the substance, and 3 indicates a plastic film that covers the surface of the substance 1. Although not shown,
The shape of the gel material 1 may be crescent-shaped.

The gel-like substances used in the present invention are most preferably gels represented by the following two systems.

One of them is oil-based gel substances, such as machine oil, cylinder oil, rosin oil, naphthenic oil,
A product obtained by melting and mixing a high boiling point oily substance such as paraffin oil or higher fatty acid and an ABA type unvulcanized elastic block copolymer under high temperature heating, and then cooling and gelling the mixture; Or the above oily substance and natural rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber,
In the mixed melt with styrene-butadiene rubber,
Typical examples include those formed by blending a crosslinking agent or a vulcanizing agent and performing crosslinking or vulcanization treatment to form a gel.

The other type is a water-containing gel-like substance, for example, W/
O-type emulsions are gelled by crosslinking or vulcanization in the presence of a crosslinking agent or vulcanizing agent, or A-B-A type block copolymers such as styrene-butadiene (isoprene)-styrene type. Typical examples thereof include a gel consisting of a continuous phase consisting of the above-mentioned oil-based substance and an aqueous dispersion phase in which water particles are emulsified and dispersed using an emulsifier.

Some gels selected from aqueous gels using water-soluble organic polymer compounds such as starch, gelatin, and casein can also be used as long as they are covered with a moisture-impermeable film.

In addition, the small specific gravity material particles have the function of adjusting the weight of the pad, and the material particles include resins such as phenol resin and epoxy resin, fired products of phenol microballoons, carbon compounds such as pitch, alumina, Examples include hollow bodies made of inorganic substances such as shale shirasu, or those having a bulk specific gravity smaller than gel-like substances such as closed foam particles made of rubber and/or synthetic resin, and these have a bulk specific gravity of 10 mm or less, preferably 0.1 mm.
A material having a maximum diameter of ~5 mm and preferably a bulk specific gravity of 1/5 or less, more preferably 1/10 or less at the same volume ratio as the gel material (specific gravity of about 0.8 to 0.95) is selected.

The material particles are added before forming the gel-like material into a predetermined shape, and the amount added is preferably about 3 to 60% by weight.

The gel-like substance containing the low specific gravity substance particles is formed into a cross section having an approximately semicircular or crescent shape, and the outer surface of the gel-like substance is covered with a plastic film, such as a polyurethane film, a polyolefin film, a polyamide film, etc., having a flexibility sufficient to not impair the properties of the substance, or with a thin rubber sheet.

Although not shown, so-called grooves (or protrusions) may be provided on the body-contacting surface of the pad formed as described above, or a material with good air permeability, such as open-cell foam, may be provided on the contacting surface. It is preferable to provide a thick non-woven fabric or the like to prevent the body surface that is in contact with the pad from getting wet. Furthermore, the formation of the above member has the effect of preventing a cold sensation when the pad is worn on the body.

The pad constructed as described above is held on the body surface with acid wear such as a bra and is used for cosmetic surgery.

The pad can also be used for fashion.

Since the gel-like pad for artificial reshaping of the present invention is constructed as described above, by attaching it to the chest, the chest is reshaped and has properties similar to those of the breast. Therefore, the pads do not make you feel uncomfortable, and because the weight of the pads is moderate by dispersing small specific gravity material particles within the gel-like material, it has the characteristic that your shoulders will not feel stiff due to the weight.
