Description

REFUERZO ABDOMINAL CON BOLSILLO PARA ALBERGAR UNA PLANCHAABDOMINAL REINFORCEMENT WITH POCKET TO HOUSE AN IRON
ABDOMINAL ABDOMINAL
En procedimientos de cirugía estética corporal tales como la abdominoplastia o la liposucción, el uso de prendas elásticas y complementos corporales complementarios del tipo de refuerzos abdominales postquirúrgicos son una ayuda muy importante para mantener los tejidos en su lugar y acelerar el proceso curativo. In body aesthetic surgery procedures such as abdominoplasty or liposuction, the use of elastic garments and complementary body accessories such as post-surgical abdominal reinforcements are a very important help to keep the tissues in place and accelerate the healing process.
Para que el objetivo de la liposucción o la lipoescultura se cumpla es muy importante que, tras la operación, el paciente utilice una prenda de tejido elástico destinada a ejercer una presión uniforme y constante en ciertas zonas del cuerpo tal como la zona abdominal. Este tipo de prendas se recomienda para ayudar a que la recuperación sea más fácil y se agilice el proceso de moldeado de la figura corporal. La prenda contribuye a generar presión sobre la piel, reduciendo los hematomas y la inflamación de esta, evitando la formación de fluidos estancados y mejorando la circulación sanguínea. Igualmente ayuda a la cicatrización de las pequeñas incisiones por donde se realiza la extracción de la grasa y evita la flacidez de la piel. For the objective of liposuction or liposculpture to be met, it is very important that, after the operation, the patient wears an elastic fabric garment designed to exert uniform and constant pressure in certain areas of the body, such as the abdominal area. This type of garment is recommended to help make recovery easier and speed up the body shape shaping process. The garment contributes to generating pressure on the skin, reducing bruising and inflammation, preventing the formation of stagnant fluids and improving blood circulation. It also helps the healing of the small incisions through which the fat is extracted and prevents sagging of the skin.
Para elegir la prenda postquirúrgica más adecuada es preciso tener en cuenta diversas consideraciones, entre las cuales se encuentran las siguientes: To choose the most appropriate post-surgical garment, it is necessary to take into account various considerations, among which are the following:
• A qué tipo de liposucción ha sido sometido el paciente. Esto determina para qué zona del cuerpo se necesita una prenda de este tipo tras la liposucción. • What type of liposuction the patient has undergone. This determines which area of the body a garment of this type is needed for after liposuction.
• Si el paciente es hombre o mujer. En algunas zonas del cuerpo es clave para lograr la presión adecuada con el ajuste perfecto. • Whether the patient is male or female. In some areas of the body it is key to achieve adequate pressure with the perfect fit.
• La fase en la que se encuentra el paciente en su recuperación postoperatoria tras la liposucción. • The phase in which the patient is in their postoperative recovery after liposuction.
HOJA DE SUSTITUCION (REGLA 26) Las prendas de refuerzo postquirúrgicas habituales tienen distintos tipos de cierre para dejarlas ajustadas al cuerpo del paciente: En el caso de pacientes que se han sometido a una baja o media extracción de grasa, por ejemplo, de la zona del abdomen, muslo o zona interna, las prendas con cierre de cremallera son comunes. Estas prendas son muy cómodas de usar porque el cierre con cremallera es muy cómodo, y para el paciente es muy sencillo ponérsela o quitársela fácilmente y con rapidez. SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The usual post-surgical reinforcement garments have different types of closure to leave them adjusted to the patient's body: In the case of patients who have undergone low or medium fat extraction, for example, from the abdomen, thigh or internal area , garments with zipper closure are common. These garments are very comfortable to wear because the zipper closure is very comfortable, and it is very easy for the patient to put them on or take them off easily and quickly.
Otro tipo más común de cierre de las prendas de refuerzo postquirúrgicas es el de corchetes. Estas prendas, normalmente en forma de faja, son las más prescritas y recomendadas por cirujanos especializados en cirugía estética. Estas prendas permiten ajustar la compresión en función de la evolución del postoperatorio de la liposucción, ya que tienen más de una fila de corchetes, por lo que según vaya evolucionando el postoperatorio es posible ajustar la prenda a la presión necesaria utilizando una u otra fila de corchetes. Another more common type of closure for post-surgical reinforcement garments is hook and eye closure. These garments, normally in the form of a girdle, are the most prescribed and recommended by surgeons specialized in cosmetic surgery. These garments allow the compression to be adjusted depending on the evolution of the liposuction postoperative period, since they have more than one row of brackets, so as the postoperative period evolves it is possible to adjust the garment to the necessary pressure using one or another row of brackets. brackets.
Finalmente, otro tipo de cierre posible de las prendas de refuerzo postquirúrgicas es el cierre mediante veleros. Este tipo de cierre es el más preferible en la presente invención, ya que por un lado los veleros son muy cómodos de abrir y cerrar, y por otro también es posible ajustar la presión de forma variable según va evolucionando el postoperatorio del paciente. Finally, another type of possible closure of post-surgical reinforcement garments is closure using sailboats. This type of closure is the most preferable in the present invention, since on the one hand the sails are very comfortable to open and close, and on the other it is also possible to adjust the pressure variably as the patient's postoperative period evolves.
Las prendas de compresión abdominales postquirúrgicas tradicionales adolecen de un problema que es que, cuando el paciente se sienta, la prenda ocasiona arrugas o pliegues en la piel, lo que lógicamente es indeseable, ya que incluso pueden dejar marcas en la misma que incluso pueden ser muy difíciles de quitar. Traditional post-surgical abdominal compression garments suffer from a problem which is that, when the patient sits down, the garment causes wrinkles or folds in the skin, which is logically undesirable, since they can even leave marks on it that can even be very difficult to remove.
Para resolver este problema son conocidas las planchas o tablas abdominales postquirúrgicas, que son un accesorio que se utiliza en combinación con una faja postquirúrgica y que se colocan por debajo de la misma, entre ella y la piel del paciente. Al cerrar la faja, la plancha queda colocada en su sitio, lista para ejercer su función. Esta disposición tiene las ventajas adicionales de que disminuye el posible edema, reduce el seroma y permite que la retracción pegue de una manera más uniforme. Sin embargo, la disposición de la plancha abdominal colocada debajo de una faja suele presentar ciertos inconvenientes To solve this problem, post-surgical abdominal plates or boards are known, which are an accessory that is used in combination with a post-surgical belt and that are placed underneath it, between it and the patient's skin. When you close the strap, the iron is placed in its place, ready to perform its function. This arrangement has the additional advantages of decreasing potential edema, reducing seroma, and allowing the retraction to stick more uniformly. However, the arrangement of the abdominal plank placed under a belt usually presents certain drawbacks.
HOJA DE SUSTITUCION (REGLA 26) porque se producen, tanto en sus bordes como alrededor de la misma, hematomas o seromas que en ocasiones dejan una marca que es difícil de quitar. SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) because hematomas or seromas occur, both on its edges and around it, which sometimes leave a mark that is difficult to remove.
Por ello, los inventores de la presente invención han resuelto este problema mediante la provisión de una prenda de refuerzo o faja abdominal, para uso preferiblemente postquirúrgico, que está provisto de un bolsillo situado en su zona abdominal por su parte externa, con unas dimensiones suficientes para que pueda albergar una plancha abdominal rígida o semirrígida, de manera que al rodear todo el perímetro abdominal completo y combinar la acción de la espuma con la rigidez de la plancha hace que el resultado final en esa zona sea notablemente mejor. Además, el refuerzo abdominal permite retirar o introducir la plancha con total facilidad y rapidez; basta con abrir el bolsillo y proceder a la introducción o retirada de la plancha con total comodidad y de manera rápida. El bolsillo puede no tener ningún cierre o puede estar dotado de un cierre, el cual puede ser de distintos tipos, tales como una cremallera, un cierre de velero, o uno o más corchetes. Asimismo, la apertura del bolsillo se encuentra preferiblemente orientada hacia su lado superior, pero puede haber ocasiones en que sea ventajoso que tal apertura esté orientada hacia el lado derecho del bolsillo, hacia el lado izquierdo, o incluso hacia su lado inferior. Todas estas orientaciones son posibles en tanto que el bolsillo y la plancha abdominal destinada a ir en su interior puedan ejercer su función. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have solved this problem by providing a reinforcing garment or abdominal girdle, for preferably post-surgical use, which is provided with a pocket located in its abdominal area on the outside, with sufficient dimensions. so that it can accommodate a rigid or semi-rigid abdominal plank, so that by surrounding the entire abdominal perimeter and combining the action of the foam with the rigidity of the plank, the final result in that area is noticeably better. In addition, the abdominal reinforcement allows you to remove or insert the iron with complete ease and speed; Simply open the pocket and insert or remove the iron quickly and comfortably. The pocket may not have any closure or may be provided with a closure, which may be of different types, such as a zipper, a sailboat closure, or one or more hooks. Likewise, the opening of the pocket is preferably oriented towards its upper side, but there may be occasions when it is advantageous for such an opening to be oriented towards the right side of the pocket, towards the left side, or even towards its lower side. All these orientations are possible as long as the pocket and the abdominal plate intended to go inside it can perform their function.
La plancha abdominal utilizable en el refuerzo de la presente invención es una plancha rígida o semirrígida que puede ser confeccionada de materiales diversos tales como plásticos, madera o incluso metal; todos ellos entran dentro del alcance de la presente invención en tanto que puedan cumplir la función indicada, si bien los materiales plásticos tal como el EVA (etilvinilacetato) o incluso el corcho son los más preferibles ya que la madera puede ser quebradiza y el metal puede dar problemas en los detectores de metales de aeropuertos, estaciones de tren, etc. La plancha abdominal puede tener varias formas en función de la intervención quirúrgica, tales como: rectangular, en forma de pera, o en forma de mariposa, y en estos dos últimos casos, pueden ser colocados en su posición normal o invertidos 180°. The abdominal plank that can be used in the reinforcement of the present invention is a rigid or semi-rigid plank that can be made of various materials such as plastics, wood or even metal; All of them fall within the scope of the present invention as long as they can fulfill the indicated function, although plastic materials such as EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) or even cork are the most preferable since wood can be brittle and metal can be brittle. cause problems in metal detectors at airports, train stations, etc. The abdominal plank can have various shapes depending on the surgical intervention, such as: rectangular, pear-shaped, or butterfly-shaped, and in these last two cases, they can be placed in their normal position or inverted 180°.
HOJA DE SUSTITUCION (REGLA 26) Este tipo de refuerzos abdominales pueden ser utilizados en combinación con láminas de espuma médica, tales como las conocidas por el nombre comercial de Epifoam®, que se utilizan con la finalidad de hacer marcaciones concretas sobre la piel. De esta manera, se combina la acción de la espuma con la rigidez de la plancha haciendo que el resultado final en esa zona sea notablemente mejor ya que impide la formación de seromas o hematomas en la zona abdominal. SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) This type of abdominal reinforcements can be used in combination with sheets of medical foam, such as those known by the commercial name Epifoam®, which are used for the purpose of making specific markings on the skin. In this way, the action of the foam is combined with the rigidity of the iron, making the final result in that area noticeably better since it prevents the formation of seromas or hematomas in the abdominal area.
De esta manera, de acuerdo con la presente invención, la plancha rígida o semirrígida puede ser fácilmente introducida o retirada en cuestión de segundos, de modo que puede ser introducida cuando se considere necesario o ventajoso, y puede ser retirada cuando no lo sea, simplemente accediendo al bolsillo de la prenda, que está situado en la parte exterior de la misma, e introducir o retirar la plancha. Por ejemplo, cuando se hace una abdominoplastia, la espuma abdominal se coloca al momento de la intervención y el refuerzo abdominal se coloca a partir del segundo día introduciendo la plancha abdominal entre una semana o 10 días. Sin embargo, cuando se lleva a cabo una liposucción, se pone en el mismo momento tanto la espuma como el refuerzo abdominal con la plancha abdominal. In this way, according to the present invention, the rigid or semi-rigid plate can be easily introduced or removed in a matter of seconds, so that it can be introduced when it is considered necessary or advantageous, and it can be removed when it is not, simply accessing the pocket of the garment, which is located on the outside of it, and inserting or removing the iron. For example, when an abdominoplasty is performed, the abdominal foam is placed at the time of the intervention and the abdominal reinforcement is placed from the second day onwards, introducing the abdominal plank between a week or 10 days. However, when liposuction is performed, both the foam and the abdominal reinforcement with the abdominal plank are applied at the same time.
También es preferible colocar, encima del refuerzo abdominal de la presente invención, una faja abdominal de licra común, si bien son más preferibles las fajas especiales para esta finalidad que están reforzadas o aligeradas en zonas determinadas según interese que ejerzan una mayor o menor presión en distintas zonas del cuerpo función del tipo de cirugía realizada. It is also preferable to place, on top of the abdominal reinforcement of the present invention, a common lycra abdominal belt, although special belts for this purpose are more preferable that are reinforced or lightened in certain areas depending on whether they exert more or less pressure on the abdominal area. different areas of the body depending on the type of surgery performed.
Los refuerzos abdominales de la presente invención presentan la ventaja de cubrir el contorno abdominal completo llegando hasta la espalda, siendo adecuados para el postoperatorio después de abdominoplastia, cirugía de alta definición, liposucción asistida por ultrasonidos (de alta definición o no), o liposucción láser, entre otros tipos de cirugía. Sin embargo, debe entenderse que estos tipos de cirugía son simplemente ilustrativos y no pretenden ser una lista exhaustiva de tipos de cirugía en los que se pueden utilizar las prendas de la presente invención. The abdominal reinforcements of the present invention have the advantage of covering the entire abdominal contour reaching the back, being suitable for the postoperative period after abdominoplasty, high-definition surgery, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (high-definition or not), or laser liposuction. , among other types of surgery. However, it should be understood that these types of surgery are merely illustrative and are not intended to be an exhaustive list of types of surgery in which the garments of the present invention may be used.

Gracias a que los refuerzos abdominales postquirúrgicos de la presente invención, que presentan la ventaja adicional de cubrir el contorno abdominal completo del paciente llegando hasta la espalda, éstos presentan numerosos beneficios: Thanks to the fact that the post-surgical abdominal reinforcements of the present invention, which have the additional advantage of covering the complete abdominal contour of the patient reaching all the way to the back, they have numerous benefits:
• Previenen la aparición de hematomas: el acúmulo de sangre y suero en los tejidos es un riesgo que existe en cirugías corporales como la liposucción, la abdominoplastia o la cirugía de corrección de ginecomastia. La compresión que proporciona el refuerzo durante los primeros días del postoperatorio reduce las probabilidades de esta complicación. Por el mismo mecanismo se reduce la aparición de equimosis, los comúnmente denominados moratones. • They prevent the appearance of hematomas: the accumulation of blood and serum in the tissues is a risk that exists in body surgeries such as liposuction, abdominoplasty or gynecomastia correction surgery. The compression provided by the brace during the first postoperative days reduces the chances of this complication. By the same mechanism, the appearance of ecchymoses, commonly called bruises, is reduced.
• Previenen la aparición de seromas después de la cirugía abdominal y flancos. • They prevent the appearance of seromas after abdominal and flank surgery.
• Previenen la aparición de edemas después de la cirugía abdominal y flancos. • They prevent the appearance of edema after abdominal and flank surgery.
Permiten que la retracción del tejido inflamado sea más uniforme. They allow the retraction of the inflamed tissue to be more uniform.
HOJA DE SUSTITUCION (REGLA 26) • Previenen la aparición de arrugas o pliegues en la piel derivadas del uso de un refuerzo abdominal en las zonas naturales de flexión del cuerpo debido a que se ejerce una presión uniforme sobre la zona intervenida, ayudando a que la piel se adapte al nuevo contorno. SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) • They prevent the appearance of wrinkles or folds in the skin resulting from the use of an abdominal reinforcement in the natural flexion areas of the body because uniform pressure is exerted on the operated area, helping the skin to adapt to the new contour.
• La compresión uniforme ayuda a reducir el dolor postoperatorio y favorece el proceso de curación, mejora el trofismo de la piel y favorece la recuperación y elasticidad cutánea. • Uniform compression helps reduce postoperative pain and promotes the healing process, improves skin trophism and promotes skin recovery and elasticity.
• Proporcionan menor tiempo de recuperación: la compresión de la prenda, en combinación con la faja, optimiza la circulación sanguínea y linfática reduciendo la retención de líquidos. Así se evita que el organismo tenga que eliminarlos posteriormente, generando una mayor inflamación de la zona tratada. Este efecto de control sobre la inflamación reduce el tiempo de recuperación. • They provide shorter recovery time: the compression of the garment, in combination with the girdle, optimizes blood and lymphatic circulation, reducing fluid retention. This prevents the body from having to eliminate them later, generating greater inflammation in the treated area. This control effect on inflammation reduces recovery time.
• Garantizan menor frecuencia de infecciones: al acumularse menos fluidos en las zonas tratadas, el riesgo de sobreinfección de éstos se ve disminuido. • They guarantee a lower frequency of infections: as less fluid accumulates in the treated areas, the risk of superinfection is reduced.
• Presentan gran versatilidad en su uso gracias a que el cierre tipo velero permite que el refuerzo abdominal se vaya ajustando a medida que el paciente requiera más o menos compresión, de manera que: Cuando se lleve a cabo una liposucción primaria se dispondrá el refuerzo abdominal durante dos meses aproximadamente y si es liposucción secundaria durante tres meses aproximadamente. Cuando se lleve a cabo una abdominoplastia la espuma abdominal se colocará en el momento de la intervención y el refuerzo abdominal se colocará a partir del segundo día de la intervención para que no sufra el colgajo; introduciendo la plancha abdominal entre una semana o 10 días dependiendo del paciente. • They have great versatility in their use thanks to the fact that the sailboat-type closure allows the abdominal reinforcement to be adjusted as the patient requires more or less compression, so that: When primary liposuction is carried out, the abdominal reinforcement will be placed for approximately two months and if it is secondary liposuction for approximately three months. When an abdominoplasty is performed, the abdominal foam will be placed at the time of the intervention and the abdominal reinforcement will be placed from the second day of the intervention so that the flap does not suffer; introducing the abdominal plank between a week or 10 days depending on the patient.
