An undergarment for use with a cast tape to form a hip spica cast, such as a pantaloon-type hip spica cast. The cast includes at least one layer of a 3D spacer synthetic padding material formed into a fabric of monofilament yarns and fabricated into an anatomically correct undergarment structure for being positioned around a torso and residing directly against the skin of a hip spica cast patient.

A composite material 10 for forming custom fitted orthopedic and other products. The composite material is easily formable when heated to temperatures of about two hundred degrees Fahrenheit for a time of at least six to eight minutes and then is rigid at temperatures of about one hundred thirty degrees. The composite material can be sewn and formed in complex shapes when initially heated to about two hundred degrees. Closure attachments 60 can be secured to the composite material as needed on site rather than at the manufacturing facility. The composite material can be custom fitted to a patient in situ.

Disclosed herein is a complex spine-inspection support apparatus capable of multi-posture correction, which can apply various acting forces in a longitudinal direction of a spine while stably maintaining a patient's posture, can transmit a constant bending force to the left and right, thus facilitating accurate and various inspections, and can observe a spinal disc ligament varying depending on a posture. The present invention provides a spine-inspection support apparatus for supporting a patient's posture in equipment including a spine inspection, the apparatus including an apparatus bed configured to allow a patient to lie on an upper surface thereof; a lower-body support unit movably provided on a first end of the apparatus bed in a longitudinal direction of the apparatus bed to come into close contact with a patient's buttocks and configured to allow a leg region to be seated in an “L” shape; a lower-body support unit driving means provided on the first end of the apparatus bed to linearly move the lower-body support unit; a leg holding means provided on the lower-body support unit to hold the patient's leg region; an upper-body support means provided on the apparatus bed to support and hold the patient's upper body; and a control panel for controlling an operation of the lower-body support unit driving means.

A cold therapy dynamic hand splint system including an electric pump, a sleeve, an inflatable bladder, a refrigeration device, and a fluid reservoir. The sleeve includes a fluid-tight cavity filled with a cold fluid pressurized by the pump, and is wrapped around the forearm of a user. The inflatable bladder has an expanded state where the bladder is charged with the fluid pressurized by the pump and chilled by the refrigeration device, and a collapsed state where the bladder is substantially empty. The bladder is small enough that a portion fits inside a palm of a contracted spastic hand while in the collapsed state, and large enough to press the spastic hand open when the bladder is in the expanded state. The fluid is maintained within a therapeutic temperature range, and is in fluidic communication with the sleeve and the bladder through the pump.

An improved thermoformable orthosis apparatus for being selectively formed and applied and removed having offset zipper closures on two shell members for improved hinging and opening and access for initial application and forming when malleable and for removing and reinstalling when hardened.
