An injured musculoskeletal structure is mobilized relative to a juxtaposing support structure surface to isolate the injured musculoskeletal structure from forces transferred from adjoining musculoskeletal structures in order to alleviate pain, discomfort, inflammation, and further injury associated with such transferred forces.

The present invention provides a treatment tool capable of surely treating wound of ingrown nail also near a root of a nail in addition to near a tip of the nail and immediately relieving pain of the wound of the ingrown nail. An adhesive plaster structure 1 attached to a finger/toe along a lateral nail edge, the adhesive plaster structure 1 comprising: a wound adhesion area 2 having a flexible wound adhesion surface 2A; and a guide area 3 having a slide groove 3A that receives the lateral nail edge, the slide groove being capable of sliding in a longitudinal direction of a nail along the lateral nail edge, wherein the slide groove 3A extends at least over a part of a length between the tip portion and the rear end portion of the adhesive plaster structure 1 in the longitudinal direction of the adhesive plaster structure 1, and the flexible wound adhesion surface is guided to a position of the wound caused by the ingrown nail when the adhesive plaster structure 1 is attached to the finger/toe.

A device for alleviating the complaints of a trapeziometacarpal joint disease from the degenerative, inflammatory, and rheumatic spectrum. The load on the trapeziometacarpal joint changed by arthrosis can be dynamically relived by means of said device. The device includes a splint, which is detachably fastened to the wrist on one side and reaches under the first thumb joint of the diseased hand on the other side. The splint accommodates the thumb in a natural resting position of thumb. If the thumb is bent, then, below the thumb joint, the thumb stresses the splint against the retainer fastened to the wrist as a result of the radial motion or bending of the thumb and thereby lifts the trapeziometacarpal joint minimally from a usual seat thereof. A gap thus arises between the joint bodies that engage with each other. The joint surfaces no longer painfully rub against each other.

A method for producing a hand orthosis, including the steps of: Producing an impression of at least one finger of a patient's hand and at least a part of a forearm, producing a finger section from a reproduction based on the impression, incorporating at least one finger segment in the finger section side corresponding to the hand surface, detecting the physiology of the patient's forearm using at least one captured image from the reproduction together with the finger section, thereby producing a digital 3D model, generating a rail based on the produced digital 3D model, securing at least one force-introducer onto or into the rail, securing a proximal end of the at least one finger segment to a distal end of the rail, and coupling the at least one force-introducer to the at least one finger segment. A hand orthosis is also provided.

A method for producing a hand orthosis, including the steps of: Producing an impression of at least one finger of a patient's hand and at least a part of a forearm, producing a finger section from a reproduction based on the impression, incorporating at least one finger segment in the finger section side corresponding to the hand surface, detecting the physiology of the patient's forearm using at least one captured image from the reproduction together with the finger section, thereby producing a digital 3D model, generating a rail based on the produced digital 3D model, securing at least one force-introducer onto or into the rail, securing a proximal end of the at least one finger segment to a distal end of the rail, and coupling the at least one force-introducer to the at least one finger segment. A hand orthosis is also provided.

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 hand support including a base component arranged for securing to at least a portion of a hand, an anchor element adjustably connected to the base component and arranged for grasping a thumb, and a counterforce device connecting to the base component and the anchor element. The counterforce device arranged to generate a counterforce in combination with or against the base component and anchor element. The hand support may be arranged to provide traction for an extended period to remedy complications of the hand and associated joints.

An adhesive plaster structure 1 attached to a finger or a toe along a lateral nail edge, the adhesive plaster structure 1 has: a wound adhesion area 2 having a flexible wound adhesion surface 2A; and a guide area 3 having a slide groove 3A that receives the lateral nail edge, the slide groove being capable of sliding in a longitudinal direction of a nail along the lateral nail edge, wherein the slide groove 3A extends at least over a part of a length between the tip portion and the rear end portion of the adhesive plaster structure 1 in the longitudinal direction of the adhesive plaster structure 1, and the flexible wound adhesion surface is guided to a position of the wound caused by the ingrown nail when the adhesive plaster structure 1 is attached to the finger or the toe.

A hand support including a base component arranged for securing to at least a portion of a hand, an anchor element adjustably connected to the base component and arranged for grasping a thumb, and a counterforce device connecting to the base component and the anchor element. The counterforce device arranged to generate a counterforce in combination with or against the base component and anchor element. The hand support may be arranged to provide traction for an extended period to remedy complications of the hand and associated joints.

A number of variations may include a finger splint including a plurality of tubular components arranged along a shared axis of rotation. The tubular components may be connected by at least one connective portion. The tubular components may also include, individually, a hook and loop patch disposed on an outer portion of the tubular component. A hook and loop strap may be constructed and arranged for providing tension across the tubular components such that a wearers finger may be immobilized within the finger splint.
