Provided is an elastic band for correcting a joint deformity and enhancing a joint function, the elastic band including: a first band to be attached to an outer part of a joint of a finger or toe and to the back of a hand or the top of a foot, and having a strip shape; a second band to be attached to an inner part of a last joint of the finger or toe while surrounding the inner part, and having a width increasing towards an end to surround side parts of the finger or toe together; and a connecting portion disposed between the first band and the second band to integrally connect the first band and the second band, and having a width gradually decreasing and then increasing from the first band towards the second band, and a mounting device of the elastic band.

Adhesive fascial tape having a composite material of natural fibers, such as cotton, artificial fibers, such as nylon, polyester and elastomer or a combination thereof forming plied or cabled filament yarns forming an openwork structure with a plain, twill or satin weave of at least 3 and up to 10 is provided, which may be broken or crossed both in weft and in warp, and where the weft yarns of the structure have a density of 1-35 picks/cm and the warp threads 1-40 ends/cm. Attached to the said tape is a lower layer of synthetic acrylic resin adhesive having spaces or lines without adhesive, creating a symmetric repetitive sinuous pattern with an angle of 45 with respect to the weft.

Techniques for implementing a support garment with at least one support assembly to provide lateral support to a body part, such as the male genitalia. The techniques may be used to provide immobility of the male genitalia following surgical or therapeutic procedures. A support garment for providing support to a male genitalia includes a lower torso portion including an interior surface and an exterior surface. The lower torso portion further includes a groin portion and at least one support assembly extending alongside at least a portion of a male genital region.

A breast support has a support body with an upper support portion and a sternum portion, as well as a pair of breast supports. The upper support portion is connected above the sternum portion, and the breast supports are connected to the sides of the sternum portion. An adhesive layer on a rear side of the support body allows the support body to be affixed to a user's chest. The upper support portion has two lateral support portions, each with a plurality of ridges for enhanced support.

Aspects of the present invention pertain to men's apparel, and specifically, men's undergarments. Aspects of the present invention pertain to an adjustable supporter.

A heating tape system includes an adhesive tape and a power supply. The adhesive tape is made of an anisotropically stretchable fabric material with a pressure sensitive adhesive fixed on one side of the fabric material, and a heating element coupled to the fabric material. A first load contact and a second load contact, both electrically coupled to the heating element and accessible from the opposite side of the fabric material, are also included on the adhesive tape. The power supply includes a source of electrical energy with a first source contact electrically coupled to one terminal of the source of electrical energy and adapted to be electrically coupled to the first load contact, and a second source contact electrically coupled to a second terminal of the source of electrical energy and adapted to be electrically coupled to the second load contact.

Is a taping method that follows a specific set of rules based on anatomical and physiological patterns in humans. This taping method causes a change in skeletal muscle tone in the human body, when tape is directly applied to the skin of the human body over targeted tendons and surrounding structures going over joints. This taping method will inhibit the muscle tone in the antagonist muscle of the opposing side of the joint where the tape is applied, while simultaneously eliciting the agonist of the muscle that are attached by the tendon of the joint where the tape is applied.
