An apparatus for relieving spinal compression without inverting the user. The apparatus is fully adjustable for those of all sizes and provides much needed back relief to those with compressed and burdened spinal columns. The apparatus provides handles for the user to press down on, pushing the shoulders upward, and allowing the arms to take away some stress from the back.

A method and apparatus for a customizable, hernia compression with breathable substrate comprised of a one-piece, pelvic belt with built-in perineal strap(s) made of a breathable laminate material, such as but not limited to Airflex2 liner and the like as well as an exterior made entirely of Velcro loop fabric. Said invention also having plurality of separate, planar, hooked, Velcro compression strips allowing a user to position and apply the precise amount of pressure at the precise angle to allow maximum hernia support. The invention also having two embodiments: one with a single, compression pad pocket and another with dual, compression pad pockets (for single and dual hernias). An object of the invention is to provide enhanced, user-based hernia compression support.

A hemostatic device includes a flexible band adapted to be wrapped around a patient's limb at a site on the limb where bleeding is to be stopped, a portion for securing the band in a wrapped state to the limb, a curved plate which is made of a material more rigid than the band and at least a portion of which is curved toward the inner peripheral side thereof, a main balloon which is provided on the inner peripheral side of the curved plate and which inflates when a fluid is introduced therein, and a pressing member which is provided between the curved plate and the main balloon so that at least a portion thereof overlaps with the balloon and which is adapted for pressing against the balloon. The device provides an excellent hemostatic effect and prevents numbness and poor circulation in areas peripheral to the site of attachment.

Described herein is a truss pad having a base body, wherein the base body comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the first surface of the base body comprises five pressure pads, wherein the first pressure pad is located in the center of a rectangle that is formed by the second pressure pad, the third pressure pad, the fourth pressure pad, and the fifth pressure pad.

According to one example, a belt includes an inner belt configured to encircle a waist portion of a user, a first set of one or more pockets coupled to a first position on an internal side of the inner belt, and a second set of one or more pockets coupled to a second position on the internal side. The first set of pockets are configured to receive a first set of one or more distraction devices, wherein the first position is configured to cause the first set of distraction devices to apply pressure to one or more abdominal portions of the user. The second set of pockets are configured to receive a second set of one or more distraction devices, wherein the second position is configured to cause the second set of distraction devices to apply pressure to one or more lower back portions of the user.

An abdominal support truss. The abdominal support truss includes a first belt and a second belt. The first belt is configured to encircle a belly of the user. The second belt is configured to encircle a waist of the user. A pad is attached to an interior surface of the second belt. The pad is configured to compress and to rest against a surgical site. A ratcheting system is operably disposed on the second belt. Engagement of the ratcheting system tightens the second belt.

A perineum control device attachable to the user's undergarment, belt or similar clothing to apply pressure to the perineum to control various conditions including leakages of body fluids from the urethral, anal, and vaginal openings. The device and method comprise one or more front and rear retractors having a retractable cord supporting a bridge or band member positioned against a user's perineum. When a user puts on their undergarment, or tensioned and retractable cords exert a constant and predetermined upward compression force to an attached sanitary article (such as pads/napkins). The force pushes/pulls the article against the perineum increasing the perineum pressure above an abdominal or bladder pressure, which prevents or mitigates leakages and/or prolapses. The device keeps the article in constant close contact with the orifices of the perineum regardless of a user's vigorous movements and regardless of a user's body size, shape, and anatomical differences.
