A patient support (100), useful for the treatment of symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) and/or pelvic girdle pain (PGP), particularly in pregnant or postpartum women. The patient support (100) comprises a crotch section (110) adapted to bear against a patient's symphysis pubis in use. The crotch section (110) bearing against said patient's symphysis pubis may effectively relieve the discomfort and/or pain associated with SPD and/or PGP, particularly when the crotch section (110) comprises a rigid insert (700) for bearing against said patient's symphysis pubis. The use of the patient support (100) in the treatment of pelvic girdle pain and/or symphysis pubis dysfunction is also described. A rigid insert portion (700) adapted for attachment to a patient support (100) and adapted to bear against a patient's symphysis pubis in use is also described.

A support device for providing external support for a patient's chest and breast after the patient has undergone a surgical procedure in the thoracic region. The support device includes a chest band and first and second elongate under-bust/shoulder bands. Each of the under-bust/shoulder bands includes an under-bust portion and a shoulder strap portion. The support device includes first and second connectors attached to the shoulder strap portions of the second and first elongate bands, respectively. A lower portion of a first breast encapsulating unit is attached to the under-bust portion of the first under-bust/shoulder band and an upper portion is attached to the first connector. A lower portion of a second breast encapsulating unit is attached to the under-bust portion of the second under-bust/shoulder band and an upper portion is attached to the second connector.

The present invention provides for an advanced postoperative compression binder including at least two overlapping stretchable bands. The bands are connected by stitches located within an overlapping portion of the bands. The stitches are spaced from first and seconds ends of the bands to allow individual compression-adjustments of the binder to allow compression to be adapted to the type of surgery or trauma performed and to a level of comfort desired by the patient. The invention provides for wound inspection and care without the need to open the total compression binder, which will maintain a degree of support during wound inspection and care, decrease pain and increase comfort for the patient.

An orthotic for pelvic stabilization has a belt unit, which is provided for surrounding the pelvis, and a pull device, which is provided for tightening the belt unit. The belt unit comprises an upper belt strap (1), which surrounds an upper pelvic region, and a lower belt strap (2), which surrounds a lower pelvic region. The pull device comprises a front pull unit with a fastening device, whereby the front pull unit is disposed on a front pelvic region of the belt unit and tightens the upper and the lower belt strap in a front pelvic region by pulling. The fastening device thereby connects together the opposite ends (3, 4, 5, 6) of the upper and of the lower belt strap in the front pelvic region and fastens them under tension. The pull device further comprises a rear pull unit (8, 9), which is disposed in a middle region (7) of the straps on the upper belt strap (1) and on the lower belt strap (2) and is provided for tightening of a rear pelvic region of the belt unit. The rear pull unit is fastened under tension by a fastening unit.

The invention relates to a structure for the treatment of pectus carinatum and pectus excavatum, comprising front transverse rod segments (1, 1′), rear transverse rod segments (2, 2′) and side rods (3, 3′), at the rear ends of which pins (4, 4′) are provided which fit into holes in the front edges of the outer ends of said rear rods and which are retained therein by screws (5, 5′) which extend in the transverse direction, near the front edges of the outer ends of the rear rods, and on which protection caps (6, 6′) are provided. Also provided are spindles (7, 7′) which extend through openings (8, 8′) located in the outer ends of said front transverse rods and provided with screw threads on the front ends of the side rods, by means of knobs (9, 9′) for adjusting the compressor in the transverse direction, the inner ends of the front and rear transverse rods fitting into rails (10, 10′) to which front pressure pads (12, 12′) and rear pressure pads (13, 13′) are fastened by screws (11, 11′), the latero-side adjustment of the compressor being achieved by adjusting the position of elongated slots (14, 14′) at the inner ends of the front and rear transverse rods, relative to said fastening screws.

A supporter includes a small number of members and has a simple fitting method. It can give an intraperitoneal pressure rise effect to a supporter wearer, attain retroflexion suppression, and stabilize the sacroiliac joint. The supporter includes a base material which is formed of a knitted fabric by warp knitting and in which a knitting direction of the knitted fabric is set to be a longitudinal direction. Stretchability in the longitudinal direction is given, while stretchability in a short direction is suppressed. It has a back-supporting section that is a central portion of the base material, projection sections provided by projecting upward both end portions disposed on both sides of the back-supporting section, and curved sections each making the vicinity of the boundary between the back-supporting section and each of the projection sections. Each curved section is curved into a shape of approximate “”.

An apparatus, system, and method for treating symptoms of IBS. The apparatus includes a base material comprising a material that fits to the body of a user, an elastic portion capable of applying compression across the abdomen of a user, and a tension adjusting mechanism for adjusting the compression applied to the abdomen in order to treat the symptoms of IBS. A system for treating IBS may include a processor configured to receive a first set of data from biosensors configured to measure contractions in the bowel, receive a second set of data from a galvanic skin response sensor configured to measure electrical conductance of the skin; and, analyze patterns between the first and second sets of data.
