The invention relates to a flat wound care article having an essentially polygonal or ellipsoid base surface and at least one recess arranged on one side.

A device is described that is configured to protect a joint of a wearer. The device includes a device cover structure having an interior surface of phase change fabric material that is placed toward the wearer's joint and an exterior surface of unbroken loop fabric that comes in direct contact with external objects such as a mattress and/or other parts of the users body or that of another person while in their preferred position for sleeping, resting or reclining. The device also includes flexible elastic wraps for securing the device cover. The Device furthermore includes one or more protective pads inserted into a pocket formed in the device cover structure.

The present application generally relates to support articles and methods of making and using them. Some embodiments of the support articles of the present disclosure provide compression and/or stabilization to sore joints, tendons, or muscles. In some embodiments, the compression and/or enhanced stabilization is provided, at least in part, by one or more reinforcing portions. In some embodiments, the support articles can easily be applied by a non-trained user and can be worn in many conditions (including, for example, in the shower or during exercise) for up to three days. In some embodiments, the support articles or support articles also have a relatively slim profile and are thus discreet such that they can be worn under clothing without being noticeable. In some embodiments, the support articles eliminate or reduce joint or muscle pain or soreness.

Disclosed is a medical dressing having a pad and a border portion. The pad can have a rim and the border portion extends along said rim. The medical dressing can be arranged in a first substantially planar configuration and be folded along a first line, and a second portion of said medical dressing is formed and a second substantially cup-shaped configuration. The first portion can be facing and contacting said second portion. Said first substantially planar configuration the first and second portions can be connected by means of a fixed connection along a second line, which defines a second line segment having a first and a second end-point. The first and second line segments are connected at their respective first end-points such that an angle between 90 and 175 degrees is formed between the first and second line segments when the medical dressing is in the first substantially planar configuration.

The invention relates to a compression garment set for applying compression to a body part consisting of at least one compression article as well as at least one pressure pad pertaining to the compression article, wherein in the wearing position of the compression garment set pressure pad comes to lie under the compression article, and wherein the pressure pad has at least one adhesive surface a side directed towards the wearer in the wearing position so that the pressure pad can be positioned on the skin of a wearer detached from the compression article.

Medical articles comprising a conformable wound dressing and delivery system. The wound dressing generally comprises a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface, an adhesive on the second major surface of the backing, and an absorbent pad proximate the second major surface of the backing. The backing extends beyond the perimeter of the absorbent pad, typically beyond the entire perimeter of the pad. The perimeter of the wound dressing has a concave feature that exhibits a local minimum. An axis extends from the local minimum to the perimeter of the wound dressing opposite the local minimum. The carrier overlies at least a portion of the backing on each side of the axis but does not overlie the backing along the axis. The wound dressing is especially designed for use on round or irregular shaped body parts, such as an elbow or heel.

An orthopedic device comprises a main body defining an outer surface and a cuff extending from an end portion of the main body with frictional material disposed on an inner surface of the first cuff. A hinge is connected to the main body and terminates along the main body short of the cuff. The cuff is arranged to fold over the outer surface of the main body in a disengaged configuration, such that the outer surface of the first cuff is adjacently against the outer surface of the main body.

A therapeutic compression wrap is provided, comprising: a first front foam panel having inside and outside surfaces and configured to cover a front portion of at least part of a patient's limb; loop closure material stretched over and secured to the outside surface of the first front foam panel; a first back foam panel having inside and outside surfaces and configured to cover a back portion of the at least part of the limb; fabric stretched over and secured to the outside surface of the first back foam panel; and first hook closure material secured to side edges of the inside surface of the back foam panel, the first hook closure material matable with the loop closure material whereby the back foam panel is securable to the front foam panel.

A textile part, in particular a textile orthopedic aid, having a textile main panel as well as at least one functional element from plastics material which is disposed on the main panel, wherein at least one planar cover element which engages only in portions across the functional element disposed in the main panel and which also extends across the main panel is provided, wherein the cover element is connected to the main panel and/or the functional element, and the functional element is connected to the main panel in a materially integral manner.

An extra-light orthosis includes a woven elastic fabric sleeve, shaped to exert compression forces on a member on either side of and on a joint, and a plate fixed onto an inner face of the sleeve to come into direct contact with the skin on the joint, the plate including an elastic fabric layer onto which a layer of polymer gel is adhered, an annular part shaped to surround the top of a joint protruding area, and a tab extending from an outer edge of the annular part, in an axial direction of the sleeve, the plate adhering to the skin such that, under the effect of the compression forces exerted by the sleeve, when the sleeve is longitudinally stretched, the plate remains stretched and applies tensile forces locally to the skin parallel to the surface of the skin, toward the center of the annular part and of the joint.
