Compression bra for postoperative care

Abstract

A compression bra for the postoperative care of patients, wherein the bra comprises a body portion having two shoulder straps to surround the torso of a patient and to engage over her shoulders, wherein the body portion is produced at least sectionally from an elastically stretchable textile and wherein one or more compression zones are integrally worked into the elastically stretchable textile and have a modulus of elasticity with respect to a deformation in their direction of extent that is increased in comparison with the surrounding fabric.

1 . A compression bra for postoperative care of patients, wherein the bra comprises a body portion having two shoulder straps to surround the torso of a patient and to engage over her shoulders, the body portion is at least sectionally produced from an elastically stretchable textile, and
 one or more compression zones are integrally worked into the elastically stretchable textile and have a modulus of elastically increased with respect to a deformation in its direction of extent in comparison with the surrounding fabric.   
     
     
         2 . A bra in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the compression zones are formed by a thread pattern modified with respect to the surrounding regions of the body portion. 
     
     
         3 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the compression zones are formed in that additional elastic threads are seamlessly worked into the textile. 
     
     
         4 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least a pair of compression zones is present that are arranged and extend symmetrically with respect to a perpendicular center axis of the bra. 
     
     
         5 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least one compression zone extends linearly over the body portion, with provision preferably being made that this compression zone extends perpendicular or obliquely to the perpendicular over the back region. 
     
     
         6 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least one compression zone extends in circular form around a cup region. 
     
     
         7 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least one compression zone extends in the region of an armpit cutout. 
     
     
         8 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the bra furthermore has an underbust band integrally worked into the textile. 
     
     
         9 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the shoulder straps are adjustable in length and/or have two sections connected by a closure. 
     
     
         10 . A bra in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the bra has one or more fastening elements in the rear region and/or underbust region. 
     
     
         11 . A bra in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the compression zones are formed in that additional elastic threads are seamlessly worked into the textile. 
     
     
         12 . A bra in accordance with  claim 11 , wherein at least a pair of compression zones is present that are arranged and extend symmetrically with respect to a perpendicular center axis of the bra. 
     
     
         13 . A bra in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein at least a pair of compression zones is present that are arranged and extend symmetrically with respect to a perpendicular center axis of the bra. 
     
     
         14 . A bra in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein at least a pair of compression zones is present that are arranged and extend symmetrically with respect to a perpendicular center axis of the bra. 
     
     
         15 . A bra in accordance with  claim 14 , wherein at least one compression zone extends linearly over the body portion, with provision preferably being made that this compression zone extends perpendicular or obliquely to the perpendicular over the back region. 
     
     
         16 . A bra in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein at least one compression zone extends linearly over the body portion, with provision preferably being made that this compression zone extends perpendicular or obliquely to the perpendicular over the back region. 
     
     
         17 . A bra in accordance with  claim 12 , wherein at least one compression zone extends linearly over the body portion, with provision preferably being made that this compression zone extends perpendicular or obliquely to the perpendicular over the back region. 
     
     
         18 . A bra in accordance with  claim 11 , wherein at least one compression zone extends linearly over the body portion, with provision preferably being made that this compression zone extends perpendicular or obliquely to the perpendicular over the back region. 
     
     
         19 . A bra in accordance with  claim 4 , wherein at least one compression zone extends linearly over the body portion, with provision preferably being made that this compression zone extends perpendicular or obliquely to the perpendicular over the back region. 
     
     
         20 . A bra in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein at least one compression zone extends linearly over the body portion, with provision preferably being made that this compression zone extends perpendicular or obliquely to the perpendicular over the back region.
