Description

The utility model relates to the field of cosmetic surgery and is intended for compression fixation of the breast after endoprosthetics.

Cosmetic surgery is the most effective way to correct body shape imperfections. Together with nutrition and medicine, it participates in the fight against aging and is not a superficial correction of bodily imperfections, but a genuine treatment.

The presence of these factors explains the large number of patients seeking help from plastic surgeons.

- too small breasts.

The surgeon determines in each case the method of surgical intervention.

Endoprosthetics of the mammary glands, as well as other plastic surgeries on the mammary glands, cannot cause postoperative complications.

In the postoperative period, it is recommended for 10-30 days to constantly wear a special dressing on the chest area (1).

Known elastic segmented dressing equipped with fixation elements (2).

The disadvantage of this dressing is the inability to use it after endoprosthesis replacement of the mammary glands.

Known medical dressing containing an elastic bandage and a pressing element (3).

The disadvantage of this dressing is the inconvenience of its use for compression fixation of the mammary gland.

Known medical dressing, made in the form of a vest made of elastic material with fixation elements and with inflatable elements (4).

The disadvantage of this medical dressing is the inconvenience of using for fixation of the mammary glands after arthroplasty.

An individual dressing made in the form of an inflatable chamber with fixing elements (5) is known.

The disadvantage of this dressing is the inconvenience of its use.

A known dressing made in the form of an inflatable top with a number of compartments and fixation elements (6).

The increased complexity of the design eliminates the possibility of its use after endoprosthetics of the mammary glands.

A device for decompression of the mammary glands is known, containing chambers, connecting hoses and a vacuum source (7).

The disadvantage of this device is the increased complexity of the design and the complexity of use.

A known holder of the mammary gland, including a bandage, a rigid frame and fixation elements (8).

The goal of creating the latter model is to increase the convenience of using a bandage for fixing the breast after endoprosthetics.

This goal is achieved in that the cups for placing the mammary gland are made with holes in the area of the surgical wound, overlapped by elastic valves provided with fixation elements to the cups, and the fixation elements of the elastic valves to the cups for placing the mammary gland are made in the form of zippers, elastic fixation elements valves to the cups to accommodate the mammary gland are made in the form of fasteners of the “burdock” type, the clamps of the drainage tubes are made in the form of paired strips of elastic material or in the form of spring clips.

Comparison of the proposed dressings with others known in the field of medicine, showed its compliance with the criteria of a utility model.

On the vest 1 there are elements of fixation 14 and 15 of the drainage tubes 16 and 17 with collections of exudate.

In this case, the mammary glands are located in the cups 2 and 3. The drainage tubes 16 and 17 are located in the surgical wounds according to the usual method, they are brought out and fixed with the help of clamps 14 and 15.

If necessary, access to the surgical wound (visual examination, applying drugs to the wound, changing dressings, etc.) release valves 10 and 11 using fixation elements 12 and 13. The valve is pulled up and all the necessary manipulations are performed on the mammary gland through holes 8 and 9, after

which lower the valves 10 and 11 and fix them with fixing elements 12 and 13, thereby closing the holes 8 and 9.

Inspection of the surgical wound is 1-3 times a day. Patients leave the clinic for 2-5 postoperative days. The seams around the areola are removed on the 8-12th day.
