Description

Compression stocking for varicose veins and manufacturing method thereof, and varicose treatment apparatus including same

The present invention relates to a compression stocking for varicose veins treatment device worn on the leg, and more particularly, it is divided into a plurality of chambers and different air pressures are injected into each chamber, while the air pressure is automatically adjusted by the air pressure control device, It relates to a compression stocking for the treatment of varicose veins in the lower extremities, which is easy to carry and use, and also considers the manufacturing process.

Human blood vessels are composed of arteries that carry blood from the heart to each part of the body, capillaries that supply oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and exchange carbon dioxide and waste products, and veins that return blood to the heart after passing through the capillaries. The veins can be further divided into superficial veins located under the skin, deep veins located deep under the fascia, and penetrating veins connecting the superficial veins and deep veins.

"Venous varices (靜脈瘤)" refers to the enlarged and swollen veins of the human body due to some cause. Varicose veins are dark purple or blue and protrude in a twist shape. It occurs in the veins of the lower extremities (legs) and feet, and this is called “varicose veins of the lower extremities”.

“Varicose vein” is because walking and upright posture increases pressure on the veins of the lower extremities, and is usually found on the back of the calf or on the medial side of the leg (inner side) of the leg, such as aging, pregnancy, obesity, or deep vein thrombosis. Or, due to reasons such as regurgitation of the penetrating vein, the valve in the vein that regulates the flow of blood in the vein to the heart does not perform an appropriate function, and the blood accumulates in the vein and the pressure increases, causing the vein to gradually expand.

The most basic treatment for varicose veins is to wear compression stockings for varicose veins, which increases the ankle pressure and helps to move blood upward with the compression effect that gradually decreases toward the knee. It further improves blood flow.

However, in the case of conventional compression stockings, 1) if provided in an approximate size without measuring the exact size, the prevention and treatment effects of deep vein thrombosis, etc. may be reduced, 2) patient compliance is low, tightness, tightness, Discomfort such as rolling, hotness, toe pain, looseness, pruritus, and skin rash may occur. It had a number of problems, such as side effects that may occur.

It is an actual photograph of a state in which the stocking is worn on the leg, and FIG. 13 is an actual photograph of the state in which air is injected after the compression stocking for the varicose vein treatment apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention is worn on the leg.

In the compression stocking for varicose veins treatment apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , the lower sheet 110 and the upper sheet 120 include binding lines 119, 11, 12, 21, 31) to form an air bag (chamber), and to inflate by injecting air through the air inlet and outlet ports 121, 122, and 123 in the chamber.

The lower sheet 110 may include, for example, an inner skin made of a polyurethane material and an outer skin made of a non-woven fabric, and the upper sheet 120 may also be made of an inner skin made of a polyurethane material and an outer skin made of a non-woven fabric. However, the endothelium is not necessarily limited to a polyurethane material, and may be formed of an elastic material such as another synthetic resin or rubber, and the outer skin is also not necessarily limited to a nonwoven fabric, but the lower sheet 110 in contact with the skin. It is required that the outer skin of the garment be made of textile products such as non-woven fabric or velvet. For reference, the outer skin of the upper sheet 120 can be omitted, but natural or man-made textile products are preferable in appearance, or at least need to be coated with a material having a good tactile feel.

Now, when describing the method of wearing the compression stocking 100 for treating varicose veins in the varicose veins treatment apparatus 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention, whether the lower sheet 110 or the upper sheet 120, Fasteners, Velcro and other fixing parts are formed on both ends of at least one side of the sheet, for example, the first fixing part 111 and the second fixing part 112 are formed on the left and right sides at the top end, but in one example The first fixing part 111 forms a hook part on the inside, and the second fixing part 112 is a Velcro type that forms a loop on the outside, and the seventh fixing part 117 and the eighth fixing part 117 and 8 A fixing part 118 is formed, but for example, the seventh fixing part 117 forms a hook part on the inside, and the eighth fixing part 118 forms a loop on the outside in a Velcro manner, and near the ankle left and right to form a sixth fixing part 116 and a fifth fixing part 115, for example, the sixth fixing part 116 forms a loop on the inside, and the fifth fixing part 115 includes a hook part on the outside It is possible to do it in a Velcro way to form. A fourth fixing part 114 and a third fixing part 113 are formed on the left and right at the middle height, for example, a fixing ring is formed in the fourth fixing part 114, and the third fixing part 113 is It is also possible to form a long band for fixing so that a ring is inserted into the band to be mounted. However, there is no limitation on these mounting methods and positions, fixed locations, and overlapping, and the conventional method may be used as it is.

Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13, the wearing of the compression stocking for varicose veins treatment apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 9, the inside (lower part of the compression stocking) seat) and (at this time, the first to third inflow outlets 121, 122, 123 are located on the outside (rear side): see FIG. 10), and as shown in FIG. 11, each fixing part 111 to 118 It is fixed to the leg by applying an appropriate force using it, and FIG. 12 shows a state in which the fixation is completed. Finally, now, as shown in FIG. 13, by connecting the air pressure control valve set 200 to the first to third inlet outlets 121, 122, 123 directed from the back to the front and blowing air, each chamber is inflated to an appropriate air pressure. The lower extremity varicose veins treatment device of the present invention is used by applying a pressure of about 20 to 30 mmHg, but different pressure is given for each leg part, so that the third chamber of the instep has strong air pressure and the upper first chamber is weak. For example, if about 100 air pressure is applied to the third chamber 30 of the instep, the second chamber 20 of the ankle applies about 70% of the air pressure, and the first chamber 10 on the upper side applies about 50% of the air pressure. .

According to the compression stocking for the treatment of varicose veins of the present invention, the compression stocking for the treatment of varicose veins of the present invention has the effect of treating and preventing chronic venous insufficiency/venous hypertension, lower extremity venous ulcer, lymph node occlusion and lymphedema, and has the largest ankle pressure and the compression effect that gradually decreases toward the knee.

The difference between the compression stocking 100 ′ for the varicose vein treatment device of the second embodiment and the compression stocking 100 ′ for the varicose vein treatment device of the first embodiment described above is that the third and fourth fixing devices 113 ′ and 114 . ') is that, unlike the case of the first embodiment, it is changed to a Velcro fastening method. The other fixing devices 111', 112', 115', 116', 117', 118' are similar to the fixing devices 111, 112, 115, 116, 117, 118 of the first embodiment, except that the Velcro hook is on the inside and the loop is on the outside. just made it happen Accordingly, while the wearing of the compression stockings on the user's lower extremities is more convenient than in the case of the first embodiment, the manufacturing process is improved to be simpler.

The rest of the configuration is the same, however, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 17 , in the case of the lower sheet 110 ′ of the compression stocking 100 ′, a non-woven fabric sheath (gray) is applied to the polyurethane endothelium. coated, and in the case of the upper sheet 120 ′, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 17 , it was configured by coating a poly outer skin (black) on the inner skin of polyurethane. Of course, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

Since the remaining components are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given, and detailed descriptions are omitted.

(Pneumatic control valve set)

Now, among the varicose veins treatment apparatus 1' according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the pneumatic control valve set 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 19 to 22 .

The air pressure control valve set 200 according to the present invention is largely, the main air pressure control valve 210, the air pump 220 for providing air pressure to the air pressure control valve 210, the air pressure control valve 210 and the hose ( 230) and is detachably coupled to the check valve 250 and the air outlet 240, which is detachably connected to the check valve 250 to form a flow path when air is injected, and blocks the flow path of the check valve when the user wears compression stockings or a stopper 260 that opens the flow path of the check valve when air is vented (see FIGS. 19 and 20).

The check valve 250 is preferably fixedly installed at the inlet outlets 121, 122, 123 formed at the front end of each chamber when air is injected or vented into each chamber of the compression stocking 100', and in some cases, separately. It may be installed detachably, and a general check valve in which the flow path is opened by air pressure when air is injected and the flow path is blocked by the air pressure in the chamber after air injection may be used. At this time, in the inlet and outlet (121, 122, 123), a through hole (121a) with the chamber as shown in FIG. 21 is formed on the bottom surface, and the check valve 250 and each inlet and outlet (121, 122, 123) that require a certain length are perpendicular to the through hole. It is preferably formed to be long in one direction (while maintaining parallel to the upper sheet 120').

It is preferable that a stopper 260 is formed on the check valve 250, and the stopper 260, as shown in FIG. to be provided with a stopper 261 and a flow path opening pin 262 that will open the flow path of the check valve when venting air in each chamber,

Now, with reference to FIGS. 20 to 22, the air pressure control valve 210, which is the main of the air pressure control valve set 200 according to the present invention, will be described in detail. The air pressure control valve 210 is a hose ( A main body 211 connected to 230, a slider 212 slidably coupled to the main body 211, and a pump connection unit detachably connected to the air pump 220 while being coupled to the rear end of the main body ( 217).

Again, the main body 211 and the slider 212 are described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. First, the main body 211 is formed in a direction parallel to the longitudinal main flow path 211g (left and right in the drawing). direction) in a direction perpendicular to the sliding protrusion 211a protruding to the outside, the concave-convex portion 211b formed in a part of the sliding protrusion 211a, and the main flow path 211g in the longitudinal direction (in the drawing) The first to third vent holes 211d, 211e, and 211f formed (in the upward direction), and a sealing ring receiving groove 211c around the first to third vent holes 211d, 211e, 211f, and the main It consists of a hose connection part 211h for connection with the hose 230 on the outlet side of the flow path.

On the other hand, the slider 212 includes a sliding groove portion 212a that engages with the sliding projection 211a to slide, a locking jaw 212b caught in the groove of the concave-convex portion 211b, and the slider 212 . and a ball receiving hole 212d formed in the center of the , and a spring receiving portion 212c protruding upward from the position of the ball receiving hole 212d.

In this case, the diameters of the first to third vent holes 211d, 211e, and 211f formed in the upper direction on the body 211 are different sizes, and the balls accommodated in the ball receiving holes 212d of the slider 212 are normally used. It is blocked by (213). The ball 213 is in a state of being pushed in the downward direction with a certain elastic force by the spring 214 accommodated in the spring accommodating part 212c and the cap 215 at the upper end of the spring accommodating part 212c. Since the ball 213 blocks the vent holes 211d, 211e, and 211f because the elastic force of the spring 214 is higher than a certain level even when air is injected with the air pump 220, the air flows into the main flow path 211g and It is introduced into the chamber through the hose 230 and the air outlet 240, the check valve 250, and the normal flow path leading to the through hole 121a, but the air pressure in the chamber is constant (for example, in the case of the first chamber, When more than 30 to 40 bar), the air injected into the air pump 220 does not flow into the chamber, overcomes the elastic force of the spring 214 and pushes up the ball 213 while pushing up the first vent It will flow out to the ball (211d). For reference, the sealing ring 216 accommodated in the sealing ring receiving groove 211c formed around the first vent hole 211d makes more reliable sealing of the first vent hole 211d in the normal state. 1 This is to ensure that the air pressure of the chamber is stably secured.

On the other hand, the diameter of the first vent hole 211d corresponding to the first chamber 10 can be calculated by the Bernoulli equation, that is, as the inner diameter of the pipe through which the fluid flows becomes smaller, the flow rate increases and the pressure decreases. Based on the principle, the diameter of the second vent hole 211e corresponding to the second chamber 20 to be filled with higher air pressure should be narrower than the diameter of the first vent hole 211d, Similarly, the diameter of the third vent hole 211f corresponding to the third chamber 30 to be filled with a higher air pressure should be further narrowed than the diameter of the second vent hole 211e. For example, the diameter of the first vent hole 211d is such that the first chamber 10 is filled with 30 to 40 bar, and the diameter of the second vent hole 211e is such that the second chamber 20 is It is preferable that the diameter of the third vent hole 211f is set to be filled with 40 to 50 bar, and the third chamber 30 is set to be filled with 50 to 60 bar.

Therefore, after the user wears the compression stocking 100' of the present invention, the air outlet 240 of the air pressure control valve set 200 of the present invention is first inserted into the first inlet outlet 121, and the air pressure is adjusted Adjust the slider 212 of the valve 210 to the first stage (so that the position of the ball 213 matches the position of the first vent hole 211d), and pump the air pump 220 to sufficiently first When air is injected into the chamber 10 , even an ordinary person who is not particularly skilled can easily adjust the optimum air pressure. In this case, since the first scale display portion 211i of the valve body 211 appears on the display window 212e of the slider 212, the user can easily determine the current level of air pressure to be injected.

Next, if the air pressure injection into the first chamber 10 is completed by confirming that the air leaks into the first vent hole 211d during air pumping, now slide the slider 212 to the second stage (the ball (so that the position of 213 matches the position of the second vent hole 211e), the air pump 220 is pumped to sufficiently inject air into the second chamber 20. In this case, the slider 212 ), since the second scale display portion 211j of the valve body 211 appears on the display window 212e of the When the air pressure injection into the second chamber 20 is completed by confirming that the air leaks into the vent hole 211e, slide the slider 212 to the third stage (the position of the ball 213 is the third vent hole (to match the position of 211f), the air pump 220 is pumped to sufficiently inject air into the third chamber 30. In this case, the display window 212e of the slider 212 has the valve The third scale display portion 211k of the main body 211 will appear. (See FIGS. 21 and 22 ).

In order to ensure the positional alignment of the respective stages, as shown in FIG. It is more preferable that the locking projection 212b of the groove portion 212a of the slider 212 be caught on the recessed portion.

(Manufacturing and use method of varicose vein treatment device)

Finally, a method of manufacturing and using the device for treating varicose veins in the lower extremities according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 23 and auxiliary reference to FIGS. 15 to 22 .

First, the lower sheet 110 ′ as shown in FIG. 15 and the upper sheet 120 ′ as shown in FIG. 16 are prepared (S1), and a nonwoven fabric is coated on the inner side (outer skin) of the lower sheet 110 ′. and (S2) (in this step, similarly, the inner (outer sheath) of the upper sheet 120 ′ may be coated with a poly fabric), the first to third inlet outlets 121, 122, 123 and the check valve 250 are Mounting (S3) (of course, if the check valve 250 is detachably configured in some cases, the check valve 250 may be installed later).

Thereafter, the lower sheet 110 ′ and the upper sheet 120 ′ are laminated together ( S4 ), followed by the various fastening portions 119 , 11 , 12 , 21 and 31 in a manner such as heat compression, to ensure reliable binding. By doing this, the fabric of the compression stocking 100 ′ as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 is completed.

Now, to achieve a shape as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 , cutting is performed along the edge, and various openings 31 and ventilation holes 13 are formed ( S5 ).

Subsequently, by mounting the hook part and loop for Velcro on the appropriate part of the front or back (S6), the compression stocking 100' for the varicose veins treatment device according to the present invention as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is completed. .

Now, to outline how to use, after wearing the compression stocking in place (S7) (refer to FIGS. 11 and 12), a set of air pressure control valves such as the air pressure control valve 210 and the air pump 220, 200 connected (S8), and by operating the slider 212 of the air pressure control valve 210 suitable for each stage, pumping is performed so that air pressure is appropriately applied to each chamber (S9). This is repeated from the first stage to the third stage.

According to the device for treating varicose veins of the present invention as described above, the difference in pressure can be easily given by making the material of each part wrong, and it can be easily separated, so general washing is possible, and the inner texture is soft, so that air pressure is applied. Inflate well, but the outer material is made of a material that does not expand and contract well even when pressure is applied, so when pressure is applied, pressure can be applied to inflate only the inner portion.

In addition, it makes it easy to attach and detach, and if the pneumatic control valve set of the present invention is used, there is no change even after the lapse of time to maintain the constant application.

In addition, it is possible to attach a miniature air pressure control valve set and a miniature air pump to add convenience and portability. In addition, it communicates with a mobile phone and monitors the pressure applied from the outside, while controlling and recording the change while checking the amount of time desired by the user. It is also possible to make the pressure programmatically adjustable.

In addition, if it is possible to add a role of giving acupressure locally rather than tightening the whole by reducing the air layer, when manually applying air pressure using an air pump, as in FIGS. 20 to 22, the size and height of the air hole can be adjusted You can adjust the air pressure applied to the step by dividing it into steps 1, 2, and 3, and a function that allows the initial pressure applied at this time to be adjusted by adjusting the height of the upper part and the strength of the internal spring may be added.

Although the device of the present invention is a proven solution for the treatment and prevention of chronic venous insufficiency and symptoms (venous hypertension, venous leg ulcers, lymph node obstruction and lymphedema, dermatitis), in addition to varicose veins, 1) fractures (arms, legs, The role of holding the back, neck, etc.) part, 2) the action of stretching the disk (waist, neck, etc.) with a belt, and 3) the application of helping the muscle relaxation action for muscle pain (arm, leg, waist, etc.) It is possible, if there is swelling of the legs and ankles, if the legs feel heavy or pressure on the feet, if it is unnatural when walking or exercising due to ankle problems, when skin hardening in the legs progresses, and when standing or sitting for a long time. It can be used widely even when you feel the discomfort of
