Description
July 13, 1965 s. DUCKMAN ETAL POSTOPERATIVE BINDER Filed Dec. 18 1965 INVENTORS SIMON DUCKMAN JOHN A. LILLA ATTORNEY.
United I States Patent 3,194,234 POSTOPERATIVE BINDER Simon Duckman, 307 Beach 146th St-, Neponsit, and John A. Lilla, 23-35 29th Ave., Astoria, N.Y. Filed Dec. 18, 1963, Ser. No. 331,559 7 Claims. (til. 128-95) This invention relates to postoperative binders and in particular refers to postoperative binders which are selfsuppo'rting and require no strings, lace, pins, hooks and other hardware type fasteners and may be easily manipulated by the patient with a minimum of assistance from others.
In postoperative binders, as presently made and used, the binder has associated therewith a series of strings and to present him with a comfortable feeling, which a tight support about the abdomen of the patient. Patients, after undergoing surgery in the abdominal sector, require support for their muscles. To reassure the patient and to present him with a comfortable feeling, which i he would not otherwise be conscious of without such support, a postoperative binder is provided for him. However, such binders, as stated, have a large plurality of strings and tails which of necessity take considerable time to apply and adjust before the patient is completely supported. Further, such binders, when adjustments are to be made, are difficult to manipulate and alter. Further, if a change is necessary the whole binder must be unlaced and a new binder applied with the same tieing procedure applied. All of this is not only time-consuming but also discomforting to the patient.
To overcome these shortcomings and limitations it is contemplated herein to provide a binder void of any laces and in which the tieing procedure is completely eliminated. This is accomplished by first producing an expandable type binder so as to suitably fit any size patient and then providing at opposing end of the binder a pilelike material which when in contact will adhere and provide a secure adhesion and bond not easily broken. The adhesion is very strong in shear and separation may be readliy accomplished by applying opposing forces orthogonal to the adhesion surfaces, a peeling-like action.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide improved post-operative binders.
Another object of the invention is to provide a postoperative binder which eliminates strings, tails, pins, drawstrings, hooks, zippers and other attending hardware necessary to effect fastening.
Another object of the invention is to provide a postoperative binder which can be easily and readily applied and/or adjusted and requires a minimum of time and effort to cause its adhesion to a patient.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a postoperative binder which is simple, eflicient, rugged and economical to make and operate.
Another object of the invention is to provide a postoperative binder which may readily be provided with support braces, ribs and other reinforcing structural members for rendering greater support and comfort to the patient after abdominal surgery.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from a reading of the specifications and a study of the accompanying drawings, and wherein FIGURES 1 and 2 are plan and elevational views of the postoperative binder when expanded according to an embodiment of the invention.
FIGURE 3 shows the postoperative binder when attached to the patient.
FIGURE 4 shows the adhesive portions of the binder when bonded together.
FIGURE 5 shows in some detail the fastener characteristic of the binder.
"ice
Now referring to the drawings, wherein like parts will be given the same reference number, there is shown particularly in FIGURES 1 and 2 a postoperative binder comprising a fabric body or central panel 1 substantially trapezoidal in configuration and having a fabric base 2 coated wtili a flannel cloth 3 with intervening pockets 4, 5 and 6 disposed along the sloping sides 8 and 9 and midway therebetween respectively. The pockets so*arranged are conveniently fitted with metal reinforcing ribs to stiffen the binder when in operative condition. The sloping sides 8 and 9 of the center panel have attached thereto sides 10, 11 composed of elastic bands 13 and 14 and fabric and panels 15, 16, the elastic bands being disposed intermediate the end panels and sloping sides of the central panel.
The end panels 15 and 16 each have at their outer extremities 17, 18 along the fastening edges thereof remote from the center panel, but on reverse sides of the end panel surfaces, a bonding material so fabricated as to create a bonding or fastening effect when the said bonding materials at the edges of the end panels come in pressure contact with each other. When the end panels come in contact along the bonding material surfaces a bonding effect is created which is secure and firm and not subject to unfastening when the end panels are pulled apart as in shear. To remove the bond or to unfasten the end panel edges, all that is required is to apply a peeling-like effect to the bonded surface and the end panels will become disengaged.
The fastener itself is shown in FIGURES 4 and 5 and shows in particular the manner in which the bond is created between the two surfaces when in contact. There is shown dual tapes 20, 21, each woven with nylon or some other suitable fibers, the fibers being closed loops 22, as on tape 26 and hooks 23 as on tape 21. The nylon hooks were originally woven into regular rows and columns of closed loops and then subsequently cut to form the hooks 23 as shown. Further, the nylon hooks are relatively heavier gauge than the loops and consequently are fewer in number for the same size area of contact between the tapes. When the tapes 20 and 21 are placed in pressure contact with each other, the books 23 will engage the loops 22, and since the number of locking loops and hooks become quite appreciable because of the gauges used in the nylon fibers, the effect is to have a very strong bond between opposing tapes which become very strong in shear and no appreciable pulling apart will unlock the bond. To unlock or unfasten the bond, a peeling type of action is necessary since this causes gradual release of the hooks from the loops. This total procedure may be effected any number of times without any appreciable wear and reduction of the bonding effect created by the hooks and loops of the nylon fibers. It may be appreciated that although nylon fibers have been specified, other synthetic type fibers may be used which have the same gurable and stiffening qualities presented by the nylon hers.
In FIGURE 3 there is shown the postoperative binder when attached to a patient. It can be seen from this figure the manner in which the binder may be secured and unsecured without any inconvenience or discomfort to the patient.
It may be appreciated that certain modifications and changes to the binder may be made without detracting from the true purpose and intent of the invention.
Having defined the invention, what is claimed is:
1. A postoperative binder comprising:
(a) a central fabric panel having reinforcement members interposed thereon,
