The splint kit provides a sealed splint, bandaging, and a water source for setting the splint. Different kits may be needed depending upon the size of the user to which the splint will be applied. The kits may also vary according to the body part to be set. The size of each splint is based upon the size of the user and the size of the body part(s) to be splinted to eliminate the need for the user to size the splint. The splint is self-contained in its own packaging to maintain the integrity of the splint. The fiberglass/hardening material is encased by a foam material and/or felt to further simplify the process of applying and setting the splint.

An improved orthosis apparatus for being selectively formed and applied and removed having offset zipper closures on two shell members for improved hinging and opening and access for initial application and forming when malleable and for removing and reinstalling when hardened.

The present invention relates to a skin protection device comprising: a flexible cover having a first end and a second end. The cover comprises two sides extending between said first and second ends. The sides comprise seal sections capable of mutual engagement to form a seal. Each seal section includes a surface that is longitudinally serrated or undulating, wherein serration or undulation is provided on both sides of the section, a first female serrated or undulating side and a second male serrated or undulating side which when placed together form a mating pair and the seal. Each seal section is an extrusion as one part with a flat base and a plurality of serrations or undulations, folded and secured around the sides of the cover so that the flat base is in contact with both surfaces of the cover.

The present invention relates to a medical cast having a dual structure. The present invention provides the medical cast comprising: a skin protector coming into contact with the affected area of a patient, woven by mixing and using at least two kinds of functional fibers in order to increase adhesive strength with the skin, and manufactured such that diamond-shaped mesh holes are formed in the shape of a meshed net; an inner supporting cast formed to cover the outer side of the skin protector and comprising an inside supporting cast for absorbing sweat or body waste between the casts, an inner ventilating channel for covering the outer surface of the inside supporting cast and improving air permeability, an adhesion enhancing part for increasing the elasticity of the cast, and an inner rigidity reinforcing part for providing primary rigidity for the medical cast; and an outer supporting cast formed to cover the outer side of the inner supporting cast, impregnated with a hardening solution having hydraulic properties, and comprising an outer ventilating channel formed along the circumference thereof, an adhesion enhancing part connected with the outer ventilating channel so as to provide predetermined elastic force, a cutter part provided on one surface of the outer side thereof for guiding the progressing direction of a cutter blade, and outer rigidity reinforcing parts formed on both sides of the cutter part so as to provide secondary rigidity for the medical cast.

The system invention describes a support and improved method of application and removal. The support, comprised of a network of flexible, non-porous, multi-lumen tubing interlaces at a plurality of junctions to form a lattice structure. Apertures designed to accommodate boney prominences also permit air or water to reach the skin underneath and encourage rapid fluid flow internally through the lattice. A hydrophobic, thermal-resistant, flowable padding layer is injected within a secondary lumen to the lattice structure, spanning its complete surface area. As a result, the breathability of the support is not affected by this padding layer because it mirrors the apertures of the lattice. At least one liquid is injected into the structure and configured to transform into a solid when acted on by an external mechanical stimulus.

A pair of eye goggles is provided. The pair of eye goggles includes a nosepiece fittable over a portion of a wearer's face, the nosepiece comprising one or more strands, at least a portion of the nosepiece comprising a phase change material, wherein a shape of the nosepiece changes upon an application of an energy to the phase changing portion to conform to the face; and a pair of eyepieces connected to the nosepiece.

Orthopedic splinting materials and methods for stabilizing an injured limb or extremity of a human or animal are disclosed. The methods include applying a foam to the limb or extremity and allowing the foam to set to sufficient rigidity. A kit for stabilizing an injured limb or extremity includes a dispenser for a foamable composition. A spine board and method of making the spine board are disclosed. In situ preparation and application of a compression bandage are disclosed.

The present invention is a weather-resistant cover for a walking brace, cast, and/or orthotic device used on a human leg and foot. This innovative cover includes a sturdy, slip-resistant outer sole for safe mobility. The majority of the protective cover is comprised of a flexible, resilient, and weather-resistant material. In contrast, patches of flexible, thin fabric are present over the regulatory buttons of the walking brace, cast, and/or orthotic device. These patches allow for the fitting of the walking brace, cast, or orthotic device to be adjusted while the cover is in use. A drawstring is present at the top of the cover to ensure the cover is completely weather-resistant. This cover also includes a longitudinal fastener at the rear of the cover to allow the wearer to easily place their leg/foot in the device. This fastener, when closed, secures the wearer's appendage in the cover.

An orthopedic splint system comprising self curing splinting system that is applied to an injured limb without use of water. The splint material is contained in tear resistant outer pouch and an inner protective sleeve where a water-laden gel is contained in a pouch situated in direct contact with the splint material. Said liquid pouch will be torn when a longitudinal tab, which is an integral part of the pouch, is pulled out releasing the water-laden gel which will come in contact with the splint system causing it to cure.
