The invention relates to an external mammary prosthesis (1) comprising a framework (2) made of flexible material having the shape of a breast, said framework (2) defining an internal cavity and having, at a proximal end, an annular base (3) conformed to the shape of the chest of a person and, at a distal end, a solid disc zone (4) having the shape of a nipple and its adjacent areola, the disc zone (4) defining a sagittal axis, the annular base (3) being connected to the disc zone (4) by sinuous arms (5) made of flexible material, said arms (5) demarcating the internal cavity and being spaced apart from each other in order to define aeration zones (6) extending into the internal cavity.

A passive stent for retaining an organ in an expanded state configured to adhere and substantially conform to an external surface of the organ may include an inner layer, an outer layer, and a middle layer that is enclosed by the inner layer and the outer layer, comprising a plurality of components configured to interlock and maintain the organ in an expanded state upon application of a vacuum. A method for retaining an organ in an expanded state may include applying at least one force to the organ to place the organ in the expanded state; applying a passive stent to an external surface of the organ; and applying a vacuum to the passive stent sufficient to cause a plurality of components of at least one layer of the passive stent to interlock, where the at least one layer is configured to maintain the organ in the expanded state after interlocking.

A therapeutic bra structure includes a bra body having a bra layered member and a side bra layered member on both sides of the bra layered member separately, a fastener assembly or adhesive assembly combined with a distal edge of the side bra layered member and an elastic adjusting assembly having two elastic adjusting layers. Each elastic adjusting layer has an elastic and permeable layered member, and the two elastic adjusting layers are fixed to an inner side of the bra layered member, and an end adhesive assembly is provided at an outer edge of the elastic adjusting layers for the purpose of combining and positioning. This structure allows users to adjust the elasticity and has the effects of healing the wound stably, facilitating the use and installation of a drainage tube or an artificial blood vessel, and ensuring the safety of wearing bra after breast surgery.

The present invention relates to a novel lumpectomy shower bra device. The device is designed for lumpectomy patients to comfortably and independently shower. Specifically, the lumpectomy shower bra device comprises a racer back style with straps over the shoulder, and a closure positioned in the front of the bra. The device comprises soft, lily pad-like cups which supports a user’s breasts and prevents water pressure from hitting the incision site. Further, the bra device is also constructed using a quick-drying material for daily reuse while bathing. Thus, users can utilize both arms while taking a shower or bathing, and can utilize shampoo, conditioner, body scrubs, etc.

A brace for retaining an organ in an expanded state configured to adhere and substantially conform to an external surface of the organ includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and at least one sheet of thin malleable material forming a middle layer between the inner layer and outer layer, the at least one sheet being enclosed and configured to rigidify and maintain the organ in an expanded state upon application of a vacuum. The brace can be incorporated into a brassiere.
