An intravenous splint cover may include a main body, a pair of opposing securing members, and a splinting member. The main body may be rectangular shaped and have a bottom portion and a top portion. The pair of opposing securing members may be rectangular shaped and be connected to and extend outwardly from the main body and have a bottom portion and a top portion. The splinting member may be rectangular shaped and be carried by the bottom portion of the main body and extend outwardly from the main body to create an elevated portion of the main body. The bottom portions of the pair of opposing securing members may have an adhesive material applied thereto. The bottom portion of the main body that does not carry the splinting member may have an adhesive material applied thereto.

An elbow joint supporter includes a first anchor section formed by wrapping one end of a tubular knitted fabric around the wearer's upper arm, a second anchor section formed by wrapping the other end of the fabric around the wearer's forearm, and a substantially X-shaped knitted supporting section intersecting at the wearer's cubital fossa. Two ends of the X-shaped knitted fabric are joined to the first anchor section and the other two ends of the X-shaped knitted fabric are joined to the second anchor section so as to support the wearer's elbow joint. In the circumferential direction of the fabric, the stretch resistances of the first anchor part and the second anchor part are larger than that of a base fabric section. In the length direction of the fabric, the stretch resistance of the supporting section is larger than that of the base fabric section.
摘要:
An engineered designed article providing multi-directional support. Portions of three or more overlapping, circular-like bodies are integrated on a flexible planar membrane into products, such as bandages, headgear, tool handles, lumbar pillows, backpacks, cervical supports, and back supports, to offer a multi-directional, (360° quadrant) support or pressure-concentrating area, to enhance specific support at the medial, lateral, inferior and/or superior part of a body part. The article can be made of material that is waterproof, acts as a shock absorber, and provides multi-directional support. Medicaments can be infused into the pressure-concentrating area of the support or into the membrane itself. An aperture for accepting IV needles is also provided.

A joint protector of a sheet-shaped flexible material, including an essentially tubular body, which is provided with a curved configuration for adaptation to a joint, and which is sewn together with at least one seam, between a first edge of a first material portion and a second edge of a second material portion, is distinguished in that the seam between said edges extends along a curve, which defines a recessed area of material of the first material portion at an essentially central portion of the first edge, and which defines an enlarged area of material of the second material portion at an essentially central portion of the second edge, that the first material portion is provided with a contracting action to the recessed area of material through the seam for achieving a curved configuration of the tubular body. The invention also concerns a blank and a method.

A bedsore prevention kit includes a finger grip that includes a tubular member having a first end and a second end. A strap is attached to and extends between the first and second ends. The strap is extendable over a plurality of fingers and the tubular member is positionable between the fingers and a palm of a hand. A palm protector has a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge. The first and second edges are positioned opposite of each other. The palm protector is wedge-shaped and has a decreasing thickness from the second edge to the first edge. The palm protector is positionable between a plurality of fingertips and the palm of a hand.

A method of treating deep vein thrombosis in a limb of user includes applying a deep vein thrombosis treatment sleeve onto the limb of the user so that portions of the user's limb extend from opposite open ends of the deep vein thrombosis treatment sleeve; allowing the deep vein thrombosis treatment sleeve to conform to the limb and adhere to the limb over the area of the user's limb where the deep vein thrombosis resides through negligible compression suction adhesion; heating up the deep vein thrombosis treatment sleeve with a user's body heat so that the user barely notices the deep vein thrombosis treatment sleeve on the user's limb; and treating the deep vein thrombosis with the deep vein thrombosis treatment sleeve on the limb of the user over the area of the user's limb where the deep vein thrombosis resides. The treatment sleeve may also be used for treating a ligament or muscle injury in a joint of a user.
摘要:
A self-adhesive bandage for prevention and treatment of skin breakdown by relief of friction and shear forces. The bandage includes a pair of thin film membranes, one of which is a portion of a dome and is free to move a limited distance with respect to the other. The dome is located on a skin contact layer that can be adhered to one's skin. A method of making such a bandage includes forming a dome in a flexible film and adhesively attaching a skirt surrounding the dome to a skin contact layer.
摘要:
The present invention provides a composite material for use in making orthopedic elastic braces for supporting a body part by compression. One embodiment of the invention is a compression brace material (400) having an elastic outer layer (410), a first fabric layer (420), a spacer fabric layer (425), and a second fabric layer (430). The spacer fabric layer permits and promotes airflow laterally through the brace material. The outer layer may have a plurality of slits (550) therethrough to permit and promote airflow transversely through the composite material. The plurality of slits may be arcuate to further improve transverse airflow through the composite brace material.
