FINGER SPLINT
Finger splint. A finger splint referenced herein is configured to hyperextend portions of the finger while still allowing for a full range of motion of the proximal inter-phalangeal (PIP) joint. Such a splint is useful to treat a mallet finger, which is an injury to the thin tendon that straightens the end joint of a finger.
Extendable fracture orthosis
An elbow-forearm-wrist-hand-finger orthosis having a telescoping and detachable palm/finger rest extending from a wrist-forearm gauntlet wherein the distance between the two is adjustable. The forearm and wrist gauntlet includes a clamshell configuration with an internal stiffener and a volar pocket. The palm/finger rest has a rigid bar extending therefrom that is slidably disposed within the volar pocket for wearer-adjustable extension out of and retraction into the pocket. Several retention straps are disposed about the palm/finger rest and the gauntlet. The gauntlet bottom and the palm/finger rest include curved sections to orient the wrist in a neutral position and the fingers in a relaxed position.
Attachment System for Orthopedic Supports
The present disclosure provides attachment systems to a a parent device, namely, a latticed orthopedic support, and accessory devices for a variety of achievements.
Surgical jig and method for using same
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.
SPLINT ARRANGEMENT
Finger splint arrangements are disclosed herein. A finger splint arrangement may include a base section, a center section and a tip section that are connected together with wires such that base section, center section, and tip section are moveable independently from one another. Alternatively, a one-piece arrangement is disclosed that includes a ring member and a tip section defined by a pair of leg members that join to a tip member.
FINGER BRACE
A finger brace for use in the treatment of finger tendovaginitis includes a tape component formed in a band shape of prescribed length and width, an elastically deformable pad provided at a prescribed position along a longitudinal axis of the tape component, and an adhesive part provided on the tape component so as to join the two layers of the tape component to each other when the tape component is wrapped around a intended finger. Owing to a first guideline provided along the longitudinal axis of the tape component offset from the lateral midpoint of the tape component by a prescribed distance, the patient can wear the finger brace at the appropriate position on the affected part.
Hand immobilizer
A hand immobilizer which has a body in the general shape of the hand, including a portion shaped like the metacarpus and wrist of the hand and distally extending portions or digits shaped like the fingers of the hand. At least some of the digits of the hand immobilizer comprise first and second laterally spaced tines or prongs.
Finger tendon sheath brace capable of adjusting fixing pressure and kit thereof
Provided is a finger tendon sheath brace capable of adjusting fixing pressure, including a brace fixing plate, a compression screw, a compression plate, an adjustable pressure push rod and a spring. The brace fixing plate is configured as a fixing structure for accommodating a finger to extend in the finger tendon sheath brace, and is provided with a threaded opening in a center of the brace fixing plate in a vertical direction perpendicular to the finger. The compression screw is embedded in the threaded opening of the brace fixing plate through threads to make an end of the compression screw slightly higher than the brace fixing plate and a head end of the compression screw pass through the brace fixing plate and enter a cavity for accommodating the finger. The compression plate is connected with a head end of an adjustable pressure push rod inner sleeve.
ORTHOSIS DEVICES AND METHODS RELATING TO THE SAME
Orthosis devices and methods for stabilizing a limb of an individual comprising a first member having a first inner surface that is configured to receive a first portion of a limb; a second member having a second inner surface that is configured to receive a second portion of the limb; and a coupler arrangement that couples the first member to the second member such that the orthosis device is transitionable between an open position and a closed position.
Hand immobilizer system
A hand immobilizer system which has a body in the general shape of the hand, including a portion shaped like the metacarpus of the hand and laterally outwardly extending portions or digits shaped like the fingers of the hand. The hand immobilizer further comprises a pliable piece of material, e.g., aluminum which is either formed or can be formed so as to at least partially encircle the finger of the patient and the digit of the hand immobilizer on which the finger rests.
