The present invention describes a multi-positional, modular bodily limb splinting system consisting of at least one pair of rigid, shared geometry interlocking male and female splint members which allow for expedient placement and treatment of a limb injury. The male splint member includes a locking post and an adjustable locking post at one end, and the female splint member includes a locking aperture operable to receive and interlock with the locking post and a plurality of adjustable apertures operable to receive and interlock with the adjustable locking post. The male and female splint members of various lengths may be positioned into one or more of several incremental angled configurations of up to 360 to conform to the extremity injury.

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.

Immobilizing splints for antecubital intravenous injection sites. The splints include a flexible sleeve configured to be closed around an elbow of a patient, a preformed opening in the sleeve, at least one fastening member to close the sleeve around the elbow, and at least one stiffening member positioned in the sleeve proximal the preformed opening such that the at least one stiffening member is positioned on an anterior side of the arm when the sleeve is closed around the elbow.

Orthopaedic device and a method of use thereof are provided for treating a bone fracture. The orthopaedic device includes a sheet cover configured to extend over a portion of a patient's skin corresponding to a bone fracture under the skin, the sheet cover configured to form an enclosed volume between the portion of the patient's skin and the sheet cover, wherein the sheet cover comprises a vacuum port, the vacuum port configured to apply a vacuum to withdraw a gaseous volume from the enclosed volume and a member, the member configured to be in the enclosed volume, the member configured to deform in at least a direction towards the skin and apply a force to the fracture.

The present disclosure relates to methods of constructing a crutch as well as a traction splint by utilizing a pair of hiking poles. Embodiments of the present invention further discloses a crutch assembly including a pair of hiking poles arranged and interconnected in a substantially V-shaped formation, a plurality of fasteners, and an attachment. The crutch assembly is configured for partial weight bearing and allows a hiker with a mild injury to travel to a trail or a medical help facility. The traction splint provides the hiker with the ability to move themselves to an assistance point, and eliminates the risk of serious deterioration due to hazardous environmental conditions and prolonged pain, swelling, etc.

This invention relates to an emergency splint for supporting injured limb comprising of a large part and a small part wherein the large part comprising of a plurality of longitudinal strips and the small part comprising of a plurality of transverse strips joined together such as herein described.

A non-invasive fixator for use in treatment of bone fractures and other injuries is described. The fixator includes articulated bracelets each formed of a plurality of linking elements arranged in a plurality of rows. The elements have complementary linking means to permit linking the rows of elements together in an articulated or fixed relationship. The bracelets are also provided with further components and connector elements which can apply pressure to a fracture or injury site. Certain embodiments are useful for either paediatric or adult use. Also described herein are improvements to certain connector pieces of use in the fixator. Also described is a novel polylattice membrane for medical and therapeutic use.

A shoulder immobilizer (20) includes a semi-rigid or rigid orthosis, in the form of an arm support (22), which supports the upper arm, elbow, forearm and wrist of a patient. A bolster (24) is positioned between the patient and the arm support (22). A body strap (26) extends around the patient and attaches to the arm support (22) and/or the bolster (24), holding the arm support and bolster in position against the body of the patient. In embodiments, the shoulder immobilizer (20) may utilize a shoulder strap (28), but such a shoulder strap is not necessary for shoulder immobilization of the patient.

A brace has a plurality of elongated beams that extend in parallel along the length of the brace. The adjacent beams are coupled to posts that extend around the circumference of the brace in a staggered pattern and hold the beams in place around the brace. The beams and posts define a plurality of elongated fenestrations. The configuration of the beams and fenestrations allow the brace to be strong in compression and bending and also provide elastic radial expansion.

An erection-facilitating sleeve for counteracting the effects of erectile dysfunction. The erection-facilitating sleeve includes two open ends at each distal end spaced apart by a plurality of inflatable, semi-rigid passages that extend in a braided, or crisscross, configuration from the base to the top of the sleeve. The sleeve is inserted onto the penis and is made of a resilient material that wraps tightly around the sex organ of a user. The semi-rigid passages are of a predetermined material and thickness so that a user's sex organ maintains at least partially erect even while suffering from erectile dysfunction.
