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.

The present invention relates to a mastectomy bra device primarily comprised of at least one cup and a body further comprised of a front surface, a rear surface and at least one rear strap. In a differing embodiment, the body is further comprised of at least one shoulder strap. The device is further comprised of at least one cup that simulates the shape and size of a natural breast. The cup can be adhered to the breast of a user and then further secured to the breast by placing the body of the device over the cup when the body is worn as a bra. In one embodiment, the body is comprised of a convex area that further receives the cup. In differing embodiments, the device may have one or two cups to accommodate users who have had a single or a double mastectomy.

Disclosed is an artificial intelligence infrared thermal imaging bra system with breast disease detecting function. The system includes a side support, two chest support layers and two shoulder straps; the two shoulder straps are fixed at both ends of the side support, and the two chest support layers are symmetrically fixed between the two shoulder straps at the top of the side support; the two chest support layers are internally provided with sliding mechanisms that are adjustable according to different chests of users; a rotating mechanism for driving the sliding mechanisms to move is arranged between the two chest support layers at the top of the side support, and the rotating mechanism and the sliding mechanisms are in transmission connection; one end of the side support is fixed with a sub-buckle, and the other end of the side support is provided with a stretching mechanism.

A supportive clothing article for a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD), including a belt, the belt including a first end with a first portion of a fastener and a second end with a second portion of the fastener, wherein the belt is structured to fasten around the torso of patient below the chest area of the patient, the belt including a first conductive mesh portion adjacent the first end of the belt or the second end of the belt, two straps, a back portion extending from the belt at an intermediary position on the belt to each of the two straps, the back portion including a conductive mesh, a first support receptacle attached to and extending from the belt and attachable to one of the two straps, and a second support receptacle attached to and extending from the belt and attachable to the other of the two straps.

An adjustable multi-layer bra includes an inner bra layer, an outer bra layer, and a middle layer that are independently adjustable for positioning and compression of the breasts. The bra includes an inelastic frame to minimize unnecessary compression of the wearer's torso or chest, and adjustment components of the independent bra layers are provided on the front of the bra for ease of use by the wearer.

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 sensing assembly having: a sensing device having first and second opposing major surfaces, a first sensor located in the device and positioned for preferentially sensing a parameter at the first major surface and a second sensor located in the device and positioned for preferentially sensing the parameter at the second major surface; and a wearable carrier for embracing a part of the human or animal body, the carrier having a hole extending fully therethrough; the sensing device and the carrier being cooperatively configured so that the sensing device can be releasably lodged in the hole in the carrier so that when the carrier is embracing the body part the sensing device can be held against the body part by the carrier with one major surface of the sensing device facing the body part and with no part of the carrier between the sensing device and the body.

A brassiere incorporating a hot flash mitigation system for cooling the upper torso, chest and neck area of a wearer is disclosed. The brassiere comprises two front panel sections connectively engaged to each other, at least one rear panel section connectively engaged to each of the two front panel sections. The hot flash mitigation system provides a deformable reservoir for containing and dispensing a fluid therefrom. The deformable reservoir is disposed in mating and contacting engagement with the brassiere and has an outlet in cooperative fluid engagement thereto. At least one duct disposed proximate to one of the at least two front panel sections is in fluid engagement with the outlet of the deformable reservoir. At least one nozzle disposed upon an end of the duct distal from the deformable reservoir operatively conveys the fluid from the duct to the upper torso, chest and neck area of the wearer.

An apparatus is provided for absorbing sweat from under or behind breast. The apparatus includes a pair of disposable cushions. Each cushion of the pair of disposable cushions is made up of cotton and stitched to each cup of a pair of cups of a bra. The top portion of the cushion is curved in shape. The cushion fits behind the breast. The cushion is powder and perfume free. The cushion is sterile. The cushion is washable.
