Provided herein is a surgical jig and methods for making and using the same. In at least one embodiment, the jig contains a forearm strap and finger strap to secure a patient's forearm and hand, respectively, to the jig, and at least one finger attachment site configured to receive and secure a fractured finger to the jig. The jig is designed to position the hand and finger in an optimal position for fracture reduction by a clinician while utilizing minimal resources. In various embodiments, the present methods of using the jig include adjustment of the patient's hand by the clinician to ensure optimal placement of the fractured finger prior to commencing fracture reduction.

A medical apparatus including a bar with a first attachment loop, a second attachment and a plurality of hooks, wherein the medical apparatus is an arch bar.

A device (100) includes a leg engaging section (101) and a foot engaging section (102) intersecting at a heel receiver (103). The leg engaging section and the foot engaging section define a leg insertion aperture (104). A compressible cushion layer (402) is disposed at least in the leg engaging section. At least one bolster tube (401) is disposed interior the leg engaging section. The bolster tube (401) can be selectively removable through one or more apertures (1105,1106).

A collar device and method of use is provided comprising a tubular structure having a longitudinal axis, the tubular structure comprising a pneumatic bottom portion configured for contouring with human shoulders; a pneumatic top portion having a first section, and a second section extending from the first section; and a plurality of pneumatic pillars each generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the tubular structure, the plurality of pneumatic pillars each having a proximal end in proximity to the bottom portion and each having a distal end in proximity to either one of the first section or the second section of the top portion.

Disclosed is an orthosis device particularly well-suited for use in the field. The orthosis system includes a tibial cuff, at least one strut, an optional off-loading cuff, and a foot plate. The struts connect the tibial cuff to the footplate. Optional couplers may be used to facilitate these connections and may be in the form of quick disconnects or cam locks. The footplate may further spring plate having energy return properties to aid mobility. The systems may be modular, is compact, and easily stowed and carried.

Disclosed is a splint system for protecting and immobilizing an injured body segment and/or associated joint. The splint system is a garment-based splint system including a garment including an inner fabric layer having a skin-facing surface layer and an interior surface layer, and an outer fabric layer, wherein the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer define one or more pockets and one or more channels connecting a filler source to the one or more pockets.

An adjustable finger splint having a main body and slide. The slide configured to move relative to the main body and including a wedge to apply variable pressure to an injured finger to cause the injured finger to extend or straighten. The main body having a proximal interphalangeal platform to support the proximal interphalangeal joint, a metacarpophalangeal platform to support the palm and metacarpophalangeal joint, and a slide platform to support the slide.

Described is a venting device including a flexible outer covering defining an outer surface and an inner surface, a set of helicoidal venting strips, and a set of helicoidal buffers. The outer covering has a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis therebetween. Each venting strip is anchored to the inner surface and extends substantially between the first end and the second end and the set of venting strips is arranged substantially helicoidal and defines a set of helicoidal seams therebetween. The set of helicoidal buffers includes a buffer covering an inner opening of each seam of the set of helicoidal seams where each buffer is configured to shield the inner opening of the corresponding seam from penetration and each buffer is anchored to at least one of the outer covering and a neighbouring venting strip of the set of venting strips.

A neck stabilizing device for supporting a user's neck in vertical extension, includes a harness configured to be worn on a user's torso and a neck bracing member having an elongated stem for attachment to the harness, and a support portion configured to contact the base of the user's skull. The neck bracing member is shaped to follow the anterior and posterior curvature of the user's spine, and is flexibly resilient to allow for and resist neck extension.
