An orthotic support insert is configured to be positioned within a shoe. The insert is formed of a cushioning material having a plurality of indicator lines.

An orthotic support assembly is disclosed herein that includes an internal device configured to be inserted within a person's footwear. The internal device is formed of a cushioning material and extends from an internal surface at a bottom portion of the footwear to an internal surface of a top portion of the footwear.

An orthotic support assembly is disclosed herein that is configured to be attached to a patient's foot. The support assembly defines a first, internal device and a second, external device. The internal device defines at least a portion that extends to a top of a user's foot when positioned within the external device.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to the treatment of wounds using negative pressure. Some embodiments disclosed herein provide for a foam pad, which may be suitable for use in abdominal wound sites, and which may be sized in a dimensionally-independent manner. Additional embodiments provide for a wound contact layer, as well as a system for the treatment of abdominal wounds.

A pressure relief cushion includes an elastic layer which is made from a viscoelastic foam material, an adhesive carrying layer disposed on the elastic layer and including an adhesive portion and a carrier portion for carrying the adhesive portion, a hydrogel layer disposed on the adhesive carrying layer opposite to the elastic layer, and a detachable film disposed on the hydrogel layer opposite to the adhesive carrying layer.

A therapeutic cushioning boot includes a foot portion configured to receive a foot of a user, and a leg portion configured to receive a leg of the user. The leg portion includes at least a first support chamber and a second support chamber. A first fiberfill material is provided in the first support chamber at a first concentration, and a second fiberfill material provided in the second support chamber at a second concentration that is less than the first concentration.

The invention herein relates to a wound dressing product, combining a hydrophobic fabric, which is to be placed towards the wound, and is capable of binding unwanted microorganisms, and a moisture carrying matrix such as a gel or a foam. The product of the invention is ideal for treatment of drier wounds. It protects the wound and reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms, without using antimicrobial substances and at the same time adds or traps moisture to the wound both supporting the hydrophobic functioning of the pad and healing in general by keeping the wound moist.

The present disclosure relates generally to tubular wound dressings that include a superabsorbent component that can be used to treat exuding wounds. The tubular wound dressings may include a superabsorbent component sandwiched between two tubular elastic and resilient components. Alternatively, the dressing may be concentrically arranged to include at least three components, including a superabsorbent component, and two elastic and resilient components. Also disclosed herein are kits including the tubular wound dressings of the present technology, and instructions for use.

A medical dressing for prevention of pressure ulcers is described. The dressing has a backing layer, a pad, and a body contact layer, wherein the pad is arranged between the backing layer and the body contact layer. The body contact layer has an adhesive skin contact layer and an anisotropic layer having a first (x) direction and a second (y) direction perpendicular to the first (x) direction. The anisotropic layer is stiffer in the second (y) direction than in the first (x) direction. The dressing reduces shear and compression forces on the skin and in the underlying soft tissue layers and prevents the onset of pressure ulcers.

A compression bandage for a human calf having a) a first engagement zone on a first major surface, comprising mechanical engagement means, b) a second engagement zone on the first major surface, comprising mechanical engagement means, c) a soft section between the first and the second engagement zone, having a reduced modulus of elasticity in length direction, and d) a stiff section having an elevated modulus of elasticity in length direction, and having a length greater than the length of the soft section. The stiff section comprises a third engagement zone on the second major surface, comprising mechanical engagement means, for engagement with the first and with the second engagement zone. When wrapping the bandage around the calf, the third engagement zone can engage, in a subsequent turn, with the first engagement zone, and with the second engagement zone, so that the stiff section bridges the soft section.
