Apparatus and associated methods relate to a wearable compression therapy system for ambulatory therapy, the system including a wearable garment having one or more inflatable chambers, and a pneumatic engine locally coupled to the garment to provide control and inflation of the one or more inflatable chambers. In an illustrative embodiment, the pneumatic engine may control a pump and one or more valves to inflate the inflatable chambers. The valves and pump may be coordinated according to a pre-programmed profile. In some embodiments, the pneumatic engine may have a wireless interface configured to receive control signals from a remote mobile device untethered from the garment. The pneumatic engine may send to the remote mobile device signals indicative of sensed conditions of the compression therapy system. In some embodiments, the pneumatic engine may include a power source that advantageously permits the user to be untethered from a source of power.

The first soft actuator is coupled to the brace so that it is configured to be positioned proximate a top of the user's foot. The second soft actuator is also coupled to the brace and is configured to be positioned proximate a side of the user's foot. The pneumatic system is configured to change an internal pressure of the first soft actuator and the second soft actuator.

An orthopedic system includes a base shell forming an opening over a dorsal aspect thereof and a dorsal shell contoured to generally correspond to the opening of the base shell. The base shell has a proximal member and a distal member connected to the proximal member, each has a semi-rigid shell configuration to protect and support a lower leg, an ankle, or a foot of a user when received in the orthopedic system. A flexible toe portion is attached to a distal terminal end area of the distal member and formed of a different material than the distal member. The flexible toe portion is arranged to terminate above an upper surface of the user's toes and to flex relative to the distal member and the toes so as to reduce the likelihood of pressure points on the toes from the distal member.

An inflatable ankle brace may include an ankle brace, an inflating member, and a check valve member, and the check valve member has a check valve and a one-way piece. The ankle brace comprises at least an airbag having a valve port thereon, and the inflating member is adapted to inflate the airbag through the valve port. The inflating member has an air pump and an air tube, and a connector is connected between the air pump and the air tube. The air tube is connected to the valve port, and the connector has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air inlet connects to the check valve member. The check valve has an elastic tube, and one end of the elastic tube comprises a duckbill first valve which is deformable to open or close, and the other end of the elastic tube is connected to a base.

A wrist device, system, or method for compressing a wrist that includes a shell, a compression mechanism, and an actuator. The shell is shaped to conform to the wrist, has a radius side and an ulna side opposite the radius side, and a thumb support. The compression mechanism is associated with the radius and ulna sides of the shell. The actuator is associated with the shell and is configured to provide compression in a radioulnar direction to opposing sides of the wrist via the compression mechanism.

A blood flow stimulating device comprising: a boot (101) including a sole (111) and an upper; a sock (11) disposed within the boot (101); and a bladder (19) disposed within or on the sock (11), wherein the bladder (19) is configured to undergo repeated inflation and deflation so as to stimulate blood flow in a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device, wherein the sock (11) further includes a toe region (1002), a heel region (1001) and a raised portion (1003) between the toe region (1002) and the heel region that (1001), in use, reduces the distance between the sock (11) and a foot of a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device at the raised portion of the sock.

A control unit system. The system includes a control unit which includes a control unit charging interface, at least one magnet located proximate to the control unit charging interface, at least one actuator, a detachable manifold including at least one magnet, fluidly coupled to the at least one actuator, a pump connected to the at least one actuator for causing actuation thereof, and a control system for controlling the pump, wherein the control system controls the pump to actuate the at least one actuator at least in response to a signal received by the control system. The system also includes a recharging device configured to receive the control unit, the recharging device including a reed switch, wherein when the magnet in the control unit is located proximate to the reed switch, the switch is activated.

Support structure (1) of a foot articulation that comprises a body in which a foot articulation can be arranged, a lung body (3), associated with the body, which defines a deformable chamber (4). The lung body comprises a first portion (5) which extends in a direction substantially longitudinal and a second portion (6) which extends in a direction substantially orthogonal with respect to the first portion arranged between the body and the ankle of the foot articulation, such that when occurs a foot support inclined at an angle with respect to a ground plane, is generates a first force on said first portion defined by a first vector (T1) substantially orthogonal with respect to said ground plane (P) that causesin feedbacka subsequent expansion of said second portion which generates a second force, defined by a second vector (T2) substantially parallel to said ground plane, that is adapted to provide a support for ankle.

The invention belongs to the technical field of health care products, especially refers to an airbag type electric toe correction device, comprising the main support with hollow interior, the main support and auxiliary support being detachably connected; below the joint of main support and auxiliary support are equipped with an airbag, which is connected with pneumatic pump inside main support; the airbag is a multi-layer structure, when inflated, adjacent two layers of airbag form a V-shape gap; included angle formed by fixing portion and correction portion is designed reasonably and auxiliary support with different angle can be changed according to user's use time, which can meet different users' need and won't cause overcorrection or poor correction effect of user's toe; the airbag through the design of multi-layer structure can be made to expand with longer length and more compact, to ensure that the airbag more fit user's foot.

Percutaneous musculoskeletal lavage devices, and procedures for simultaneous therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, performed with a needle or catheter and various combinations of a syringe, reciprocating syringe, stop-cock, check valves, depth indicator, compressive sleeve or brace, and specialty catheters, provided individually or in a kit. The lavage fluid can be analyzed for factors of medical interest and used to determine personalized treatment, and has intrinsic medical benefit by virtue of clearing the tissues of noxious substances in an enhanced fashion.
