Abstract

Variable tension, light, non-stretch breastplate band (1) provided with Velcro® tape at one end (4) for initially tensioning the thorax-immobilizing device. The band is inserted into an optional metal part which partially rotates to tighten the band about the thorax and further tighten it in the event of coughing or discomfort. The device of the invention ensures that the thorax is continuously immobilized and is suitable, in particular, for patients who have been discharged from hospital after undergoing thorax surgery. The breastplate band enhances healing of the sternum, helping to consolidate it during the three or six months it needs to be worn, while allowing the patient to dress normally. The wearer of the device can tighten and further tighten it in a single operation.

Bandage tho raci que à tension variable .Tho racial bandage with variable tension.
L ' invention concerne la nécessaire assurance , ( hors mi l ieu hospitalier) de la relative immobil ité du torax après une intervention chi rurgicale nécessitant l ' ouverture par division du sternum, ou autre , dans le but d ' en faciliter la cicatrisation ou consol idation.The invention relates to the necessary insurance (excluding the hospital environment) of the relative immobility of the torax after a surgical intervention requiring the opening by division of the sternum, or other, in order to facilitate healing or consol idation.
Actuellement, cette protection en milieu hospitalier, est obtenue par l ' usage de co rsets , ou autres systèmes , trop volumineux pour être portés après la so rtie de l ' bopital , tandis que cette protection est fo rtement recommandée pendant un temps , de trois à six mois , ou plus , en cas de c icatrisation di ff icile , par exemple chez les diabéti ques . le seul moyen conseil lé actuel lement est de cro iser rapidement les bras et serrer fort pour blo quer le thorax. les dessins annexés illustrent l ' invention: Planches l/∑ e r 2/2 .Currently, this protection in hospitals, is obtained by the use of co rsets, or other systems, too bulky to be worn after the output of the hospital, while this protection is strongly recommended for a time, three at six months or more, in the event of difficult ic icization, for example in diabetics. the only current advice is to quickly fold your arms and tighten tight to lock the chest. the accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Planks 1/2 r 2/2.
Le bandage qui fait l'objet de cette demande de brevet se caractérise par l'emploi d'un tendeur (5) permettant d'augmenter notablement la tension initiale de la bande, pouvant ainsi mieux garantir l'immobilisa- -tion du thorax en cas d'accès de toux, d'hoquet, eternuements ou autres causes, cela pour le temps nécessaire, revenant à la tension initiale dés que possible, d'un seul geste. ( fig. & et fig. 3 ) Une autre caractéristique de ce bandage est de pouvoir être porté avec des habits normaux , ( chemises, pulls. ) laissant les mains libresThe bandage which is the subject of this patent application is characterized by the use of a tensioner (5) making it possible to notably increase the initial tension of the band, thus being able to better guarantee the immobilization of the thorax in case of coughing, hiccups, sneezing or other causes, this for the time necessary, returning to the initial tension as soon as possible, in a single gesture. (fig. & and fig. 3) Another characteristic of this bandage is that it can be worn with normal clothes, (shirts, sweaters.) leaving your hands free.
Cette invention consiste dans l'emploid'un tissu spécial non extensi¬ ble,existant dans le commerce, composé de 2 types de trames adhérantes l'une à l'autre par simple pression, connu sous le nom de " Velcro ". De largeur variable, longue de la circonférence du thorax, plus environ un tiers de celle ci, cette bande est constituée du 1° type de tissu oui est lisse à 1 'interieur(2Î(au contact de la peau ), et à l'extérieur (3) formé d'une légère couche veloutée, plus environ 5 cm. du tissu du 2° type (4) muni de minuscules crochets , qui assurent l'adhérence avec l'autre tissu (3). (fig. I )This invention consists in the use of a special non-extensi¬ ble fabric, commercially available, composed of 2 types of wefts adhering to one another by simple pressure, known as "Velcro". D e width variable, long the circumference of the thorax over about a third of the latter, the strip is made from 1 type of fabric so smooth 1 inside (2i (in contact with the skin), and the exterior (3) formed of a light velvety layer, plus approximately 5 cm. of the fabric of the 2nd type (4) provided with tiny hooks, which ensure adhesion with the other fabric (3). (fig. I )
Cette disposition permet de positionner le bandage autour du thorax et de le bloquer en lui donnant la tension nécessaire à son mantien en place et à la protection initiale de l'immobilité relative du thorax.This arrangement makes it possible to position the bandage around the thorax and to block it by giving it the necessary tension for its mantien in place and for the initial protection of the relative immobility of the thorax.

I L'inventionest caractérisée par le passage de la bande (i) -dans une pièce de dimensions correspondantes à celle-ci , réalisée en tous métaux ou en métal revêtu de plastique, de peinture emaillée, ou en plastique spécial résistant, sans se déformer,aux fortes tensions exercées sur elle cette pièce étant appelée " tendeur "β I The invention is characterized by the passage of the strip (i) -in a part of dimensions corresponding to this, made of all metals or of metal coated with plastic, enamel paint, or special resistant plastic, without deforming, the strong tensions exerted on it, this part being called "tensioner" β
Les détails définis dans la planche 2/2 montrent les deux positions du tendeur et du tissu (7) en plan et suivant la coupe A - A , Fig.4 et 5 , en plan,Fig. 6 et 7 en coupe ( A - A )The details defined in plate 2/2 show the two positions of the tensioner and the fabric (7) in plan and according to section A - A, Fig. 4 and 5, in plan, Fig. 6 and 7 in section (A - A)
Le tendeur (5) porte d'un coté une portion de 5 cm. env. de tissu du 2° type, en position normale avec les crochets à l'extérieur (4). La tension supplémentaire est obtenue par la semi- rotation du tendeur (5) qui force la bande de tissu à faire un parcours supplémentaire raccourcissant ainsi le bandage (7) , coupe A - A • The tensioner (5) carries on one side a portion of 5 cm. approx. of fabric of the 2nd type, in normal position with the hooks on the outside (4). The additional tension is obtained by the semi-rotation of the tensioner (5) which forces the fabric band to make an additional course thus shortening the bandage (7), cut A - A •
La partie de tissu du 2° type fixée sur le tendeur, en contact avec la partie extérieure du bandage (Fig. 7) en assure la fixation. (Fig.2>3).The part of fabric of the 2nd type fixed on the tensioner, in contact with the external part of the bandage (Fig. 7) ensures its fixation. (Fig. 2> 3).
Le bandage retrouve la tension initiale en reportant le tendeur en position normale.The bandage regains the initial tension by returning the tensioner to the normal position.
Le dispositif, suivant l'invention, est destiné à faciliter la cicatris tion ou la consolidation du sternum ou autre, hors du milieu hospitalier, unissant la sécurité dans ses deux positions tout en permettant un habillement normal.The device according to the invention is intended to facilitate healing or consolidation of the sternum or the like, outside the hospital environment, uniting security in its two positions while allowing normal clothing.
