One or more oral devices having interdental anchors configured to elastically deform and engage with an interdental gap between adjacent teeth. One or more medical devices can then be secured to the oral device via a securing portion, allowing the medical device to be secured relative to the patient.

A kit and method are presented for making a mobile injury protection device, such as a splint, for protecting an injured body part, such as a limb. The kit includes a formable object and a heating source. The heating source is used to selectively heat the formable object to an elevated temperature, molding the formable object into a required shape for the injury protection device and allowing the molded object to cool to room temperature and become hard again. The formable object may be molded on or around and be in contact with the desired body part. The heating source may include a selectively activated chemical composition, for example by adding water or air to it.

An immobilization device is provided herein that is pre-fabricated, yet highly customizable to the patient's body habitus and injury specifications without requiring an expert or a lengthy amount of time to create and custom fit the device. The pre-fabricated immobilization device described herein may comprise a polymer material that is moldable, re-moldable and reusable. Examples of such polymer materials include, but are not limited to, a thermoplastic material, a vitrimer material, or vitrimer-like material, each having a transition temperature ranging between about 100° F. and about 180° F., and in some embodiments, between about 110° F. and about 140° F. A method for fitting an immobilization device onto a patient is also provided herein.

Hand orthotics are provided for protecting and/or supporting phalanges, metacarpals and/or ligaments of the hand providing thin, lightweight, moldable devices that form to the digits of and to the hand to provide shock absorption and limited range of motion in flexion and extension movements of the digits of the hand, but mitigate or prevent hyperextension. Each orthotic has several plates of thermal plastic, pre-molded carbon fiber or the like that are generally, if not entirely, inflexible and interlinked through limited range of motion hinges, overlapping, and/or abutting plates that accommodate stability and protection. The plates are contained within, on top, underneath, or permutations of these, a form fitting material (e.g. neoprene or vinyl) to maintain a tight fit to the hand, digits and wrist. A thumb plate is hinged to an upper or lower hand plate of the device and includes a loop for receiving the thumb.

A computer-implemented method for modeling an orthopedic cast, including scanning an injured limb to extract raw body data; determining, from the extracted raw body data, a target portion data of the injured limb, the determined data representing a fine cast surface for the orthopedic cast; patterning the fine cast surface to form a ventilation structure and a blank area thereon; forming an opening gap on the blank area for assembling and disassembling the orthopedic cast; and offsetting the cast surface in parallel to thicken the orthopedic cast.

A device comprising a casing and having an initial configuration, an intermediate configuration, and a final configuration, wherein in the initial configuration the casing contains: a plurality of beads, a rupturable first container containing one or more isocyanates and a rupturable second container containing one or more polyols. In the final configuration the casing is substantially filled by a polyurethane in which the plurality of beads is embedded. In the intermediate configuration the device is transformed from the initial configuration to the final configuration by rupturing the first container and rupturing the second container so that the one or more isocyanates react with the one or more polyols in a reaction that forms the polyurethane. As the polyurethane is formed during the reaction the polyurethane surrounds the plurality of beads. The casing includes one or more vent tubes configured to allow gases formed by the reaction to escape the casing.
