Description
NIPPLE APPARATUS
Technological Field
The present invention relates to a hyper realistic nipple apparatus which is made of silicone for aesthetic purposes, is intended for individuals who have lost their nipples after breast cancer surgeries and are dissatisfied with their nipples for various reasons.
State of the Art:
Today, one out of every 8 women has breast cancer and 19,000 women in our country lose their nipples only depending on this reason. Furthermore, there are individuals who have lost their nipples for different reasons or whose nipple development has not been completed. The invention is an aesthetic nipple apparatus for individuals who will not be able to have nipples again after all these processes.
Sufficient elasticity and skin tissue color compatibility cannot be achieved with a natural appearance in the nipple apparatus used in the state of the art. The available nipple apparatus after all the negative processes they have experienced, does not meet the naturalness and hyper realistic expectations of the people. The reason for this is that the expectation is not long-term with anatomical elasticity and color harmony.
Discoloring problems are seen after a certain period of use in nipple apparatus, which is used in the state of the art. Since the discoloring of the apparatus causes losing its natural and realistic appearance, this affects the user negatively.
In the literature search, in the US patent document numbered US2004143326A1 , a breathable, water-resistant, micro porous, polymeric material suitable for human anatomy is disclosed. The agents included in the invention, which is the subject of
the description, such as softening agent, root dye and fiber fibers are not contained in said patent document.
Consequently, a new refrigerator is required in which the state of the art is exceeded, the disadvantages are eliminated.
Brief Description of the Invention:
The invention is a nipple apparatus which exceeds the state of the art, eliminates the disadvantages and has some additional features.
The aim of the invention is to provide nipple apparatus comprising the following properties;
• high elasticity,
• long-term anatomical color matching,
• hyper realistic anatomy,
• breathable structure,
• water resistant structure
• veined appearance due to its material structure and preferences.
The inventive apparatus is adhered to the body by means of and adhesive. It can be used repeatedly by adhering and removing the same. It has improved elasticity and is visually compatible with the tissue by the invention. It has a soft texture. It has extremely realistic vein effects with the help of its colored fibers. It retains its color for a long time.
In the present invention, softening agent is used for elasticity and softness, colored fibers are used for veins, and root dye is used for anatomical color harmony within the silicone which is the main material.
Description of the Invention:
In this detailed description, the inventive nipple apparatus is described by means of examples only for clarifying the subject matter such that no limiting effect is created. In the present invention, a nipple apparatus which has improved elasticity and is adapted to body anatomy is described for people who have undergone surgery with the diagnosis of breast cancer and have lost their nipple or who are dissatisfied with their nipple for various reasons.
Silicon material is used as the main material in the present invention. Silicone materials do not lose their physical properties due to temperature changes. At the same time, it can be used for a long time since it is a material with high resistance to oxygen.
In the invention, a softening agent is used in silicone. Its elasticity is improved with the use of softening agent. It has been deemed appropriate to use 5-15% softening agents in silicone. Thus, high elasticity and harmony have been provided. However, it is not appropriate to limit the use to this rate. Preferably, it is possible to use a softening agent in the ratio of 5-15%, more preferably 1-30%, more preferably 0.1- 50%.
Root dyes are used in silicone in the present invention so as to provide anatomical color harmony and to give the appropriate color to the apparatus. Root dyes are the first known dyes and were preferred in the invention because they are natural and used for a long time without any fading problem. It can be used in desired proportions so as to match the anatomical color of the body. Root dyes provide a breathable, water-resistant and non-fading nipple apparatus with high fading resistance compared to synthetic dyes.
Microfiber fibers which are homogeneously distributed in silicon are used in the invention. Thus the vascular structures in the nipple apparatus were imitated. An apparatus with hyper realistic anatomy has been achieved by imitating the vascular structures. Micro fiber usage rate can be adjusted optionally. It is possible to use different ratios depending on the desired vascular effect in the nipple apparatus.
The molding process similar to the state of the art is used in the production of the inventive nipple apparatus. Silicone raw material, in which root dye and softening agent is added in certain proportions, is molded by melting, microfibers are added to imitate the vein structures during molding structures. While the coloring synthetic dyes applied in the state of the art create incompatibility due to fading and discoloring over time, the root dyes used in the invention doubles up the color preservation time of the apparatus.
