Trousers with waist protection belt
This disclosure is related to trousers with a waist protection belt. The trousers include the waist protection belt that is detachably attached to a belt cloth of the trousers, a trouser body that includes a stretchable cloth at a position corresponding to a waist part of a back body part of the trousers, and a position adjusting part that is provided at substantially a center of the waist protection belt and is provided at a position on a back surface of the belt cloth corresponding to the waist part of the trouser body. The position adjusting part is configured to adjustably change an attachment position of the waist protection belt in a vertical direction with respect to the trouser body.
Abdominal Harness for Workouts
The disclosed device is an abdominal, adjustable belt for use during exercises. The belt is preferably made from a nylon “plush” fabric for the outer surface and neoprene lining for the inner surface. The belt is to be worn directly on a wearer's skin or over a thin shirt, with the neoprene/nylon combination intended to generate profuse perspiration during workouts. The belt is preferably tightened around the waist using a combination of overlapping bands, with each band intending to sculpt a separate section of the waistline. The bands utilize the hook and loop clasp, which securely grips onto the plush surface. Since the outer shell is entirely plush, the 10 dimeter of the interlocking belts surrounding the user's waist are infinitely adjustable. The belt's bottom contour is pointed downward and is intended to cover and compress the lower abdomen. Both the outer and the inner surfaces of the belt are highly elastic and expand under stress.

ENDOSCOPY BAND WITH VISUAL INDICATOR TO ASSIST PLACEMENT
An endoscopy support apparatus that includes a primary wrap sized for placement around a subject's lower abdomen. At least one elastic strap extends from the primary wrap and is configured to extend across at least a portion of the primary wrap and to fasten to a third portion of the primary wrap to adjust the amount of pressure applied by the endoscopy support apparatus. The endoscopy support apparatus includes at least one visual indicator provided on the primary wrap or the at least one elastic strap that indicates placement of the endoscopy support apparatus relative to the subject or adjustment of the at least one elastic strap.

VERTICAL EXTENSION NECK BRACE
A neck extension support and stabilizing device which may support the head, includes a harness configured to be worn on a user torso and a neck bracing member having an elongated stem for attachment to the harness, and a support portion configured to contact the base of the user skull. The neck bracing member is flexibly resilient to allow for and resist neck extension.
Systems and methods for wound healing
Systems and methods can promote wound healing, including a wound dressing having a wound-facing surface and a second surface. The wound-facing surface can be configured to contact a wound of a patient. There can also be at least one conduit having an interior lumen operably connectable to the second surface of the wound dressing, a central window configured to allow air flow from the interior lumen of the conduit to the wound-facing surface of the wound dressing, and a flexible wrap operably connectable to the conduit.

Compression belts for selective chest compression following thoracic and cardiothoracic surgery and for rib fracture stabilization
A compression belt encircles a selected portion of a patient's body to provide temporary compression. The compression belt comprises an elongated belt body having first and second free ends free, a tensioning cord, a handle attached to the end of the tensioning cord, closing mechanism providing a mechanical advantage, a one-way tension mechanism and a selective release mechanism. Pulling the handle causes the closing mechanism to pull the first and second free ends closer together to compress the patient's body and engage the one-way tension mechanism that maintains compression even in the absence of continued pulling of the handle, unless the selective release mechanism is activated to release the compression. A buffer made of compressible material can be attached to the underside of the belt body to provide inward pressure when the belt is tightened. The belt body can further include a respiratory expansion panel that elongates elastically under tension.
