Handcuff
A handcuff for the treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome of a hand, the handcuff comprising a base body including a dorsal section and a palmar section. The dorsal section is adapted to exert a pressure on the dorsal side of the hand at at least one location, the palmar section is arranged to exert a pressure on the palmar side of the hand on both sides of the carpal tunnel respectively at at least one location on both sides of the carpal tunnel, and the dorsal section and the palmar section are arranged to widen the carpal tunnel of the hand by the exertion of pressure. In embodiments, the base body has, between the dorsal section and the palmar section, two substantially opposite open slots, between the dorsal section and the palmar section, and the slots are adapted to receive the thumb of the left or the right hand.
DRESSING KIT FOR EXTERNAL FIXATION AND EXTREMITIES
Disclosed are devices, systems and/or methods for protecting and healing injuries and/or other wounds of a patient's extremity.
Sensitivity enhancement glove
A sensitivity enhancement glove having at least one sleeve with a unique aperture to enhance performance by capitalizing on neuroanatomy and create hyper sensitivity, thereby enhancing proprioception.
Wound care articles
Single layer and multi-layer anti-microbial wound care fabrics, gloves, sleeves, anklets, socks, finger cots, masks, and similar wound care articles are disclosed.
Therapeutic compression device and method
A compression device can treat edema with a number of curved shells, each having an internal pad. A ligature network employing tensioners is routed across the shells for compressing them. Tensioners on at least some of the shells can separately adjust tension in different portions of the ligature network. The ligature network is (a) releasably mounted on the shells, and (b) repositionable to allow spatial adjustment of compression forces produced by the compression device. By adjusting the routing of the ligature network across the shells, tailored compression forces are provided. With a body part embraced by the padded shells, tension is separately adjusted in different portions of the ligature network to provide different compression forces at spaced positions along the plurality of padded shells.
Pressure-Distributing Wound Prevention and Treatment Device
A dressing or device to distribute pressure for the purpose of prevention and treatment of wounds and intact skin is provided. The pressure distributing properties are achieved by a closed cell foam material that is in direct contact with the intact skin or wound and that can also have the ability to manage and absorb moisture. These unique characteristics creates a flexible, and easy to use dressing that can be cut to size and applied to any desired location on a patient.
WRIST BRACE FOR PROTECTING INTEGRITY OF THE CARPAL TUNNEL
A wrist brace for providing temporary comfort to sufferers of wrist pain. The wrist brace ovates the carpal tunnel through a pair of crisscrossing guylines each independently anchored on a wrist strap. One guyline hooks to the pinky finger and the other guyline hooks to the thumb. The guylines overlap at an X that is offset from the wrist strap over the palm. The anchor points of the guylines can be independently moved to change the tensions there along. The guylines can be used in conjunction with popular wrist-worn devices and jewelry or a dedicated wrist strap fitted with a hook-and-loop faster system.
Three Fingered Gaming Helmet
The three-fingered gaming helmet, is the new level of slip on protective safety for gamers, who use a multifunction hand-held controller, with a desire to have longer playing sessions, without injuries.
Wound dressing, glove and method for production of a wound dressing
According to the invention, a wound dressing may be further developed, whereby a wound dressing made from a planar structure with a first main direction of extension and at least one further main direction of extension, whereby the textile planar structure, at least along the main directions of extension comprises extensibility properties which differ by less than 80%, preferably less than 50%.
Sensitivity enhancement glove
A sensitivity enhancement glove having at least one sleeve with a unique aperture to enhance performance by capitalizing on neuroanatomy and create hyper sensitivity and thereby enhance effects on proprioception and simultaneous musculoskeletal functions.
