Description

Method of manufacturing a medical waist protector using the injection method The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a medical waist support using an injection molding method, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing a medical waist support using an injection molding method that enables the establishment of a mass production system by converting a conventional manual process into an injection molding method. Generally, a back brace is a device worn to protect the lower back and spine, and is primarily used for the purpose of treatment and protection in cases of diseases affecting the lower back and spine. For people who need to stand or sit for long periods in industrial sites or offices, excessive load is placed on the lower back and spine, causing pain and various diseases such as arthritis and herniated discs. In other words, when sitting or standing up to lift or move objects, excessive load is placed on the lower back during these movements, causing damage to joints, muscles, and ligaments, which leads to disease. In particular, for women, if the pelvis is dislocated after childbirth, the dislocated ilium or sacrum must be corrected back to their proper positions as soon as possible to prevent lower back pain or lower back pain caused by such dislocation. Conventional waist supports for this purpose are elastic and are designed to be worn on the waist area to apply pressure and ensure safety by reducing the excessive load applied to the waist area; they are typically configured in the form of a band. These waist protectors, although varying in shape and size, typically have a main body portion for covering the waist and a banding portion extending from both sides of the main body portion to cover the abdomen. Velcro tape is used as a holding means in the banding portion to maintain a state where a predetermined section of the banding portion on both sides overlaps with one another while wrapping around the abdomen of the human body. In addition, the aforementioned main body may accommodate reinforcing core materials of various shapes to reinforce the waist portion. Typically, the waist area of the human body is formed in a curved shape rather than a flat one, and as the condition of the spine changes with movement, a space is created between the human body and the main body. Consequently, there was a problem in that the waist support worn to fix the waist area in the past could not be fully performed. In addition, in the case of conventional waist support production, the production method involves people directly weaving threads or pressing with a heat machine, which requires a large number of people to be directly involved in the process, resulting in limitations in production volume and difficulties in producing consistent products. In addition, there was a problem in that fixed costs were high due to manual labor, and the resulting increase in production costs led to high product selling prices, which increased the purchasing burden on consumers.
