POST-NIPPLE RECONSTRUCTION PROTECTOR

摘要

An improved post-operative dressing for providing both breast and, notably, nipple reconstruction and which in particular establishes custom lateral supporting of the nipple annulus. A body is constructed of a medical grade silicone and exhibits a three dimensional shape adapted for placement over the reconstructed breast and an aperture defined by an inner rim configured within the body is adapted to seat therethrough an associated nipple graft or flap in a laterally supporting and non-pressure applied fashion. The dressing may include a controlled release transdermal delivery system for administering at least one medicinal drug directly to the breast mound and/or nipple.

1. A dressing for post-operative use with a reconstructed nipple, the dressing comprising a flexible silicone body of three-dimensional shape including a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface, the concave inner surface is adapted for placement over and in adherence to a breast mound associated with the reconstructed nipple, wherein the flexible silicone body has a narrow-most tapered outer profile increasing in dimension to a most thickened interior so that the body is shaped to correspond to the contour of the breast mound so as to be rendered generally imperceptible when worn under an upper body garment, and including a controlled release transdermal delivery system operative through the concave inner surface for administering at least one medicinal drug directly to the breast mound concurrently with the flexible silicone body placed thereon and adhered thereto.
