It is to be understood that the terminology used in the description is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. Well-known functions or constructions may not be described in detail for brevity and/or clarity.

Fig. 1 and 2 show front and rear views, respectively, of a post-groin compression device according to the present disclosure in an unpressurized state. The post-groin compression device according to the present disclosure may be used to compress an area to be compressed after groin surgery. The area to be pressurized is for example an operating area. The groin procedure may be a groin hernia procedure. In the case of inguinal hernia surgery, the area to be pressurized may be the area in which the patch is implanted during surgery, i.e. the area in which the hernia, including both direct and indirect hernias, is located.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the inguinal post-operative compression device according to the present disclosure includes a compression pant 1. The compression pants 1 have elasticity so that stable pressure can be applied to the area to be compressed of the user. The compression pant 1 may be in the form of a pant, such as a boxer or briefs. The compression pants 1 can be manufactured by various known methods such as weaving or knitting. In one configuration, the body portion of the compression pant 1 is integrally formed, such as by weaving, and the crotch portion of the compression pant is separately sewn thereto. In another configuration, the main body portion of compression pant 1 is divided into a front panel portion and a back panel portion, which are joined together by at least one separable joint. This split configuration may make it easier for the user to don the compression pant after surgery.

The compression pants 1 may be made of any material having elasticity and capable of applying pressure to a region to be compressed. In one configuration, the compression pant may be made from a blend including cotton, nylon, and spandex. The proportion of cotton, chinlon and spandex in the mixture can be set according to the requirement. For example, the ratio of cotton, nylon and spandex in the blend may be: 40% -70% of cotton; 25% -40% of nylon; 5 to 15 percent of spandex. Such materials are abrasion resistant, breathable and have good elasticity. Different portions of the compression pant 1 may have different elasticities. In one configuration, the compression pant 1 includes an upper body portion 11 surrounding the groin area and a lower leg portion 12 surrounding the thighs. The upper leg portion 11 is more elastic than the lower leg portion 12. Elasticity can be increased by increasing the proportion of spandex in the fabric, using thicker spandex yarns, and/or knitting a double layer construction, among other ways. With this arrangement, while maintaining pressure on the area to be pressurized, compression on the blood vessels of the lower limb is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of lower limb thrombosis. Meanwhile, the arrangement is convenient for the male patient to urinate.

The inguinal post-operative compression device further comprises at least one pocket 2. The pocket 2 is located on the front side of the compression pant 1 and at a position corresponding to the area of the user to be compressed. In one configuration, the pockets 2 are provided in 2, respectively in the left and right regions of the front side of the compression pant 1 and cover the area of the user to be compressed, for example the area where a patch is implanted in a hernia operation. The pocket 2 can be used for placing different objects according to the needs of the patient, such as a cushion 4 for pressurizing the area to be pressurized (to be described in detail later), a medicine, a coolant, etc.

The inguinal postoperation pressurizing device also comprises an elastic pressurizing belt 3. The elastic pressing belt 3 may be formed of a belt having an elastic force. The elastic pressure band 3 is used to apply pressure to the area of the user to be pressurized when tightening. The elastic compression band 3 may be secured to the rear side of the compression pants 1 by stitches 31. As shown in fig. 2, the elastic pressing band 3 may be a single band, and the middle portion of the elastic pressing band 3 is fixed to a portion corresponding to the waist portion of the user at the rear side of the compression pants 1 by a sewing 31. The elastic pressing band 3 may include a left band portion 32 located on the left side of the seam 31 and a right band portion 33 located on the right side of the seam 31. In another configuration, the elastic pressing band 3 may also include left and right elastic pressing bands, i.e., left and right band portions, respectively, which are fixed to the rear side of the compression pants 1 at a portion corresponding to the waist of the user by stitches 31, respectively.

Fig. 3 and 4 show front and rear views, respectively, of a post-groin compression device according to the present disclosure in a compressed state. As can be seen in connection with fig. 3 and 4, in one configuration, the left side belt portion 32 and the right side belt portion 33 each wrap around the groin of the user from back to front and from top to bottom and are releasably attached to the front side of the compression pants to apply pressure to the area to be compressed. With this configuration, the compression region more conforms to the physiological curvature of the groin, thereby enabling the elastic compression band to more accurately apply pressure to the surgical region of the groin. Meanwhile, the elastic band wraps the groin from top to bottom, so that the extra effect of pulling the abdomen is achieved, and the requirement of a patient after groin operation on groin area protection is met.

An exemplary configuration for releasably attaching the elastic compression band 3 to the front side of a compression pant is described below in connection with fig. 1-3. Fig. 1 shows a first side of the elastic pressing belt 3, and fig. 2 shows a second side of the elastic pressing belt 3. The free end of the first face of the left band portion 32 and the free end of the first face of the right band portion 33 are provided with first connection portions 34, respectively. The front side of the compression pants 1 is provided with a second connecting portion 35. The first connection portion 34 and the second connection portion 35 are configured to fit each other so as to be releasably connectable to each other.

In one configuration, the second connection 35 is disposed at least partially below the elastic compression band 3 such that the left 32 and right 33 side band portions can be releasably connected to the second connection 35 by the first connection 34 after wrapping around the user's groin from back to front and from top to bottom, respectively. Here, "the second connecting portion 35 is provided at least partially below the elastic pressing belt 3" means that, in a case where the elastic pressing belt is fixed as shown in fig. 1, that is, in a state where the elastic pressing belt 3 is horizontally unfolded, the lower edge of the second connecting portion 35 is lower than the lower edge of the elastic pressing belt.

In one configuration, the second connection portion 35 has a sufficiently large area. The second connecting portion 35 covers at least the pocket 2 in whole or in part. In one configuration, in addition to fully or partially covering the pocket 2, the second connection 35 also at least partially covers the area between the left and right pockets. With this configuration, the elastic pressing belt 3 can be adjusted in a larger range to suit various body shapes of users, so that it is possible to apply a pressure of an appropriate magnitude to the area to be pressed more accurately.

In one configuration, the second connecting portion 35 may be made of an inelastic material. By this arrangement, the pocket on the front side of the compression pant or the area near the pocket is not elastic, which prevents the position of the liner 4 in the pocket from changing in the case where the compression pant is excessively stretched when worn. Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible to make a partial region of the front side of the compression pants 1 of a material without elasticity.

In one configuration, the free end of at least one of the second face of the left band portion 32 and the second face of the right band portion 33 is provided with a third connection 36. The third connecting portion 36 is configured to be capable of mating with the first connecting portion 34 of the opposite side to releasably connect to the first connecting portion 34 of the opposite side. Fig. 2 exemplarily shows that a third connection 36 is provided on the free end of the second face of the left band portion 32. Fig. 3 exemplarily shows that this third connection 36 provided on the free end of the second face of the left band portion 32 is releasably engaged with the first connection 34 provided on the first face of the right band portion 33. By this configuration, the left and right free ends of the elastic pressing band 3 can be connected together crosswise in addition to the second connection portion 35 which can be releasably connected to the front side of the pressing pants 1, thereby providing a more strong pressure range and more flexible adjustability.

The first connection portion 34 and the second and third connection portions 35, 36 may be any connection structure that releasably connects to each other, including but not limited to Velcro (Velcro), snaps, buttons, zippers, snaps, hooks, or the like. In one configuration, the first connection portion 34 may be one of a round hair portion and a barbed portion of a velcro fastener, such as a barbed portion of a velcro fastener; and the second connecting portion 35 and the third connecting portion 36 are the other of the round hair portion and the barbed portion of the velcro fastener, for example, the round hair portion of the velcro fastener.

In one configuration, a corner portion of a lower portion of the second connection portion 35 is provided as a rounded portion. With such a configuration, the second connecting portion can be prevented from giving a feeling of discomfort to the leg of the user.

The post groin compression device according to the present disclosure may further include at least one cushion 4. Fig. 5 shows a front view of the gasket 4. Fig. 6 shows a rear view of the pad. Fig. 7 shows a left side view of the pad. The pad 4 is configured for being received in the pocket 2 to cooperate with the cinched elastic compression band 3 to increase the pressure on the area to be compressed. In use, one pad 4 may be placed in each pocket. However, it is also possible to place more than one pad 4 in one pocket or to place no pad 4.

In one configuration, the pad 4 is a flat structure having a thickness. This construction allows the pad 4 to be well pressed against the area to be pressurized while avoiding the pain of the postoperative area.

In one configuration, the pad is made of a plastic material having a Shore A hardness of 20-60. Further, the shore a hardness of the pad may be 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60. In one configuration, the gasket is made of silicone, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (TPU), or similar material. The density of the pad may be 1.1g/cm³-1.3g/cm³. In one configuration, the density of the liner may be 1.2g/cm³. By such a configuration, the cushion can effectively transmit pressure but does not absorb pressure while also having some compliance. The material of the cushion 4 is not limited to the above-listed materials, but may be any suitable material that can effectively transmit pressure but does not absorb pressure while having a certain compliance.

In one configuration, as shown in fig. 5-6, the shape of the cushion 4 is designed to achieve the best pressurization effect. In one configuration, the front and rear surfaces of the pad 4 each have a straight edge 41 and a curved edge opposite the straight edge 41 and connected to the straight edge 41, the curved edge including a first arc segment 42 and a second arc segment 43 connected to each other. Wherein the radius of curvature of the first arc segment 42 is greater than the radius of curvature of the second arc segment 43. In one configuration, the portions of the first arc section 42 and the second arc section 43, which are connected to the straight edge 41, respectively, are designed to be rounded. By means of such a designed shape, the cushion 4 is able to achieve an optimum pressurization effect, effectively prevent the formation of seromas and avoid discomfort for the user.

In one configuration, the liner has a thickened portion 44 of increased thickness. The location of the thickened portion is designed such that, when the pad 4 is received in the pocket 2, the location of the thickened portion 44 corresponds to the location of the hernia area, including direct and indirect hernias, of the user. The thickness of the gasket 4 gradually decreases from the thickened portion 44 upward and downward, respectively. For example, as can be seen from fig. 7, the thickness of the gasket 4 gradually decreases from the thickened portion 44 upward and downward, respectively, as viewed in the side of the gasket defined by the straight edges 41 of the front and rear surfaces of the gasket (i.e., as viewed in the left side view shown in fig. 7). With this configuration, since the thickened portion applies pressure intensively to a soft site, i.e., a direct hernia area and an indirect hernia area, and the site is slightly compressed inward, the direction in which the pressure is applied by the gasket 4 can be more stably stabilized so that the direction of the force is not deviated.

Compared to a conventional sandbag, salt bag or balloon, the pad 4 according to the present disclosure as described above can more accurately compress the direct hernia and indirect hernia regions, thereby preventing a reduction in pressure of the direct hernia and indirect hernia regions, which really require pressure, from being compressed on the pubic bone and anterior superior iliac inguinal ligament, and thus can improve the compression effect.

In one configuration, as shown in fig. 5-6, at least one groove 45 is provided on the front and/or rear surface of the shim 4. Fig. 5 and 6 illustrate a plurality of grooves arranged in an arc shape and an oval shape substantially in a direction transverse to the straight edge 41. However, the grooves 45 may be arranged in any shape and orientation. For example, the grooves 45 may be formed in a linear shape, a zigzag shape, or the like. By providing a groove, the breathability of the pad can be improved and the friction can be increased to better secure the pad in the pocket.

In one configuration, the pocket 2 is shaped similarly to the pad 4 to better accommodate the pad. Further, the pocket 2 may be sized larger than the pad 4, thereby facilitating adjustment of the position of the pad 4 within the pocket to accommodate the anatomy of the groin of different users.

Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure without materially departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, all such modifications and variations are intended to be included herein within the scope of this disclosure as defined by the following claims. The scope of the disclosure is defined by the appended claims, and equivalents of those claims are intended to be embraced therein.
