Description

BRASSIERE FOR PRESSING BREAST AFTER MASTECTOMY After a mastectomy,

The present invention relates to a brassiere, and more particularly to a brassiere for breast compression after a mastectomy.

Generally, various kinds of brassiere have been developed to support and protect women's breasts and to maintain the shape of the breasts as plentiful and natural, thereby creating an ideal silhouette.

Among the various bras, there is a bra for patients who have undergone mastectomy by breast cancer. The brassiere, when worn by a patient who has undergone a mastectomy, acts to pressurize the recovered breast after ablation and to recover quickly.

1 is an exemplary view showing an example of a conventional brassiere 10; As shown, the conventional bra 10 includes caps 11, 13 for covering both breasts of a patient and a coupling band 15 for fixing the caps 11, 13 to the patient's body.

Here, in the conventional bra (10), the coupling band (15) is located in the middle of the patient's back. When the coupling band 15 is positioned in the middle of the patient's back, the first and second caps 11 and 13 are wrapped around the normal breast A and the ablated breast B, The same pressing force F1 is applied to the normal breast A and the ablated breast B, respectively.

Therefore, the second cap 13 can not be brought into close contact with the ablated breast B by applying a smaller pressing force to the ablated breast B with a relatively small size than the normal breast A.

In the conventional bra 10, since the first cap 11 and the second cap 13 are formed to have the same size W1, the second cap 13 is loosely attached to the cut-off breast B having a relatively small size (D) There was also a problem to be excited. In such a case, there is a problem that the function of the brassiere which presses the ablative breast B in close contact is not achieved properly.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a combined structure of the brassiere 100 according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the brassiere 100 according to the present invention, Is worn on the body of the patient.

The brassiere 100 according to the present invention can be selectively worn according to the direction of the ablative breast B subjected to the mastectomy to increase the adhesion force and the pressing force to the ablative breast B to improve the recovery rate of the ablated breast B .

3 to 5 show a bra 100 to be worn when the abdomen B is on the left side and Fig. 6 shows a bra 100a to be worn when the abdomen B is on the right side. Fig.

The brassiere 100 according to the present invention includes a cap part 110 for wrapping and supporting a normal breast A and a resection breast B of a patient and a cap part 110 for fixing the cap part 110 to the upper body of the patient, And a pair of shoulder straps 130 and 130 'for fixing the cap portion 110 on the shoulder of the patient and adjusting the pressing force in the vertical direction.

The cap portion 110 includes a normal breast cap 111 surrounding the normal breast A and a resection breast cap 113 surrounding the resected breast B. [ The normal breast cap 111 and the resected breast cap 113 are three-dimensionally formed of elastic material and integrally formed to be connected to each other.

Here, the cap unit 110 according to the present invention is formed such that the size of the normal breast cap 111 and the size of the rescue breast cap 113 are different. The normal breast cap 111 has a width W1 of the breast accommodating space formed by a predetermined standard size (for example, S, M, L). The resected breast cap 113 is formed to have a smaller width (W2 < W1) than the resected breast cap 113 in consideration of the size of the resected breast reduced after the normal breast is resected.

Since the resected breast cap 113 is formed to be smaller than the normal breast cap 111, the resected breast cap 113 can be wrapped around the resected breast B in an unexpected manner.

Here, since the brassiere 100 shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to the case where the left breast is the ablated breast B, the ablative breast cap 113 is disposed on the left side.

The support band portion 120 is formed to surround the cap portion 110 so that the cap portion 110 is fixed to the upper body of the patient. The support band portion 120 includes a back support band 121 extending back from the cap portion 110, a chest support band 123 extending laterally along the chest at the bottom of the cap portion 110, And a band coupling part 125 detachably coupling the chest support band 121 and the chest support band 123 to each other.

The breast support band 123 and the back support band 121 are detachably coupled by the band engagement portion 125 below the axle in the direction in which the ablation breast B is present. That is, when the left breast is the ablation breast B as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the band binding part 125 is positioned in the area under the left side of the patient.

To this end, the breast support band 123 extends to the left from the ablative breast cap 113 and the back support band 121 extends from the normal breast cap 111 along the back and extends under the left armpit.

The chest support band 123, the cap portion 110, and the backing band 121 are formed to be connected to each other.

The band coupling part 125 is provided with a first arm velcro 125a provided at the end of the backing band 121 and a first male Velcro 125b provided at the end of the chest supporting band 123. [ 4, the first arm velcro 125a is formed in a wide area W2 at the end of the backing band 121 and the first male Velcro 125b is formed at the end of the chest support band 123 And an area W1 narrower than the first arm velcro 125a.

The patient can press the breast support band 123 under the left armpit to adjust the position of attaching the first male Velcro 125b to the first arm Velcro 125a when the support band 120 is joined to the upper body have. When the first male Velcro 125b is attached to the chest side of the first arm velcro 125a and the first male Velcro 125b is attached to the back side of the first arm velcro 125a, .

The patient can manually attach the first male Velcro 125b to the first arm velcro 125a and manually attach the first male Velcro 125b so that the ablative breast cap 113 can press the ablated breast B sufficiently. The position is adjusted.

5, the back support band 121 and the chest support band 123 are rotated by different forces F1 and F2, respectively, as shown in FIG. 5, Respectively.

The chest support band 123 is applied with a stronger force F2 since the extension length of the chest support band 123 with the first male Velcro 125b is short. Accordingly, the ablative breast cap 113 connected to the chest support band 123 presses the ablated breast with a strong pressure, so that the ablated portion can be quickly recovered.

The pair of shoulder straps 130 and 130 'fix the cap portion 110 on the shoulder so that the cap portion 110 covers the patient's breast. The pair of shoulder straps 130 and 130 'includes a normal cap shoulder strap 130 coupled to the normal breast cap 111 and a recovery cap shoulder strap 130' coupled to the ablative breast cap 113.

The brassiere 100 of the present invention is formed such that the size of the normal breast cap 111 and the cut breast cap 113 are different from each other and the size of the normal cap shoulder strap 130 and the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 ' Are differently formed.

3 and 4, the width l1 of the normal cap shoulder strap 130 is formed to be wider than the width l2 of the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 '. The reason why the widths of the normal cap shoulder strap 130 and the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 'are different from each other is that the normal breast cap 111 is formed to be larger than the resected breast cap 113, .

Also, the length of the normal cap shoulder strap 130 is longer than the length of the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 '. When the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 'is formed to be shorter and the shoulder strap 130 and the recovery cap shoulder strap 130' are worn on the shoulder of the same height, the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 ' So that a stronger tension is applied to the upper portion 130 '. This is because when the greater tension is applied to the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 ', the ablative breast cap 113 is pulled toward the shoulder side so that the ablated breast B can be pressed more stably.

The pair of shoulder straps 130 and 130 'includes cap connecting straps 131 and 131' that are coupled to the breast caps 111 and 113, band connecting straps 133 and 133 'that are coupled to the back strap band 121, 135 'for detachably connecting the band-joining straps 133, 133' with the band-joining straps 133, 133 '.

The cap coupling straps 131 and 131 'are formed to extend a certain length in the shoulder direction from the upper portions of the normal breast cap 111 and the ablative breast cap 113. The band-joining straps 133 and 133 'extend from the backing band 121 to the shoulder and extend toward the chest.

The string engagement portions 135 and 135 'are positioned between the breast and the shoulder. Thus, the patient first fixes the cap part 110 to the breast by engaging the band-engaging part 125, and then adjusts the string-engaging parts 135 and 135 'so that the pair of breast caps 111 and 113 are separated from the normal breast A And the pressing force is adjusted so as to be in close contact with the ablative breast (B).

As shown in FIG. 4, the string connecting parts 135 and 135 'include second arm velcro 135a and 135a' that are coupled to the ends of the cap connecting straps 131 and 131 ' And a second number of velcro 135b, 135b '. Here, the second arm velcro 135a, 135a 'is formed to have a larger area than the second male velcro 135b, 135b' (W3> W4).

Accordingly, the patient can attach the second male velcro 135b and 135b 'to the second female velcro 135a and 135a' so that both the normal breast 111 and the ablative breast cap 113 are in contact with the normal breast A ) And the resected breast (B).

The wearing process of the brassiere 100 according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 5. Fig.

A patient who has undergone a mastectomy on the left breast will wear the brassiere 100 of the present invention. To this end, the string joints 135 and 135 'are engaged, only the band joint part 125 is opened, and a pair of string joints 135 and 135' are worn on both shoulders. The normal breast cap 111 and the resected breast cap 113 are disposed so as to surround the normal breast A and the abscissa breast B, respectively. Then, the back support band 121 is disposed so as to surround the back, and then the back support band 121 and the chest support band 123 are pressed toward the left side by both hands.

The backing band 121 and the chest support band 123 are elastically stretched and the patient attaches the first male Velcro 125b to the first arm Velcro 125a. At this time, the patient adjusts the position where the first male Velcro 125b is attached to the first female Velcro 125a by judging the extent to which the ablative breast cap 113 is pressed against the ablative breast B.

When the band binding part 125 is fixed to the upper body of the patient, the band binding cords 133 and 133 'are opened so that the upper part of the normal breast cap 111 and the ablative breast cap 113 are separated from the normal breast part (133, 133 ') so as to be in close contact with the abdomen (A) and the abscissa (B). The pressing force of the normal breast cap 111 and the removed breast cap 113 is adjusted through the position where the second male velcro 135b, 135b 'is attached to the second arm velcro 135a, 135a'.

As shown in FIG. 5, the band coupling part 125 adjusts the extent to which the ablative breast cap 113 presses the ablative breast B in the transverse direction, and the string connecting parts 135 and 135 ' Thereby controlling the extent to which the breast cap 113 presses the ablative breast B.

As a result, the brassiere 100 according to the present invention allows the ablated breast cap 113 to come into close contact with the ablated breast B without harshness, and can be pressed with a large pressing force to improve the speed of the ablated breast.

6 is an exemplary view showing a state in which the brassiere 100a is worn when the right breast is the ablative breast. As shown in the figure, when the right breast is a resected breast, the position of the normal breast cap 111 and the resected breast cap 113, and the position of the normal cap shoulder 113, as compared with the brassiere 100 in which the left breast described above is the resected breast, The position of the strap 130 and the recovery cap shoulder strap 130 'are changed. In addition, the position of the band coupling part 125 is changed to be under the right armpit.

Here, the brassiere according to the present invention uses a male and female velcro to adjust the binding force at the band connecting portion and the string connecting portion. However, this is merely an example, and various joining members such as a button, a zipper and the like can be used within a range in which the coupling force can be controlled.

As described above, the brassiere according to the present invention is positioned at the lower side of the armpit in the direction in which the ablation breast is located, not the band binding portion of the support band. This allows the abutment force to be transmitted to the ablated breast more abruptly, allowing the ablative breast cap to adhere to the ablative breast.

In addition, since the resected breast cap is formed in a smaller size than the normal breast cap, the resected breast cap can be tightly pressed without being lifted from the resected breast.

In addition, the normal cap shoulder strap and the recovery cap shoulder strap are formed in different widths and different lengths to apply a different pressing force to the normal and ablative breasts. As a result, a stable pressing force can be formed in the ablated breast even in the vertical direction, so that the ablated breast cap can be pressed against the ablated breast.

In addition, the brassiere according to the present invention can be selectively used depending on the position of the breast having undergone the resection surgery, so that the bristle can be more effectively pressed. Thus, the ablation area of the abdomen can be quickly cleared.

The embodiments of the brassiere of the present invention described above are merely illustrative and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. will be. Therefore, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
