A thermoplastic cast according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a structure having a mesh form and a thermoplastic property, an outer cover provided on an outer surface of the structure, a buffer pad provided on an outer surface of the outer cover and having elasticity, and a finishing material provided on an outer surface of the buffer pad and configured to come into contact with a user's body. Melting points of the outer cover, the buffer pad, and the finishing material are higher than that of the structure. The finishing material has a porosity different from that of the buffer pad.

The present disclosure relates to a leg protector. The leg protector according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a protection part formed to surround at least a portion of a user's leg; a bottom plate part formed integrally with the protection part and configured to support a user's foot; and a midsole provided below the bottom plate part, wherein at least one hole is formed in the bottom plate part, a protrusion portion is formed in the midsole at a position corresponding to the at least one hole, and the protrusion portion of the midsole is configured to be inserted into the at least one hole of the bottom plate part so that the bottom plate part and the midsole are coupled to each other.

Proposed is an improved cast used for covering an affected area of a patient having a fracture or dislocation or diabetic patient to keep the continuity of the affected area and the unaffected area, and to protect the affected area from external shock.

A formable cast (100) or brace is provided herein which comprises a padding (101), an outer shell (103) spaced apart from the padding, and a ridge (109) disposed along the perimeter of the shell. The ridge, shell and padding define an interior space (115), with a curable polymeric material disposed in the interior space. The curable polymeric material undergoes a phase transition, upon curing, from a liquid or gel phase to a substantially rigid solid phase. The cast or brace (100) may be readily customized to the patient by fitting the cast to the patient's body, positioning the cast in the desired orientation, and curing the curable polymeric material through exposure to actinic radiation or by other suitable means.

A disposable Cast and Intravenous (IV) Medical Shower System for protecting casted and/or IV therapy injected appendages from moisture while a patient is showering or bathing. A plurality of embodiments are disclosed, including a variety of sizes and colors for a variety of users for a variety of applications to accommodate a variety of limbs and afflictions such as wounds with or without a bandages, IV or drain lines, and fixed casts. One embodiment of the system is characterized by flexible stretch vinyl in a tubular shape with only one opening, which creates a water tight seal between the appendage and the system. Additionally, the midsection torso embodiment has an optional pocket on the inside surface (facing the skin) that is used for housing a medical device such as an insulin pump or pocket health monitor. Finally, the process for making and using the system is described in full detail.

A portable thermoshapable fabric composite heating device kit mainly comprises a portable heating device and a thermoshapable fabric composite; wherein the portable heating device includes a first box body and a second box body disposed above or inside the first box body. A heating space formed between the bottoms of the two box body bodies is used to accommodate a heating pack. The thermoshapable fabric composite can be accommodated within a receiving space of the second box body. After water is added into the first box body to flood the heating pack, and a lid is placed to cover the top, the heat-generating material in the heating pack contacts the water to generate water vapor during an exothermic reaction. The water vapor enters the receiving space, in which the thermoshapable fabric composite is stored, through the multiple pores at the bottom of the second box body. The generated thermal energy will heat the thermoshapable fabric composite without the need for open flame or electricity. That is, the thermoshapable fabric composite can be heated and softened, so that the thermoshapable fabric composite can be used in the field without reliance on external elements, such as conventional heating or electricity, in order to achieve the purpose of providing first aid such as bandaging and fixation, and to prevent secondary injuries.

The application discloses a conformable support structure for use in fiber composite precursor; a resin impregnated conformable fiber composite precursor, which may surround the support structure, for being manually manipulated and plastically deformed into a desired shape before being cured into a final product having the desired shape; the corresponding final product, which may be an orthosis or other product; and methods of making the final product or orthosis. The support structure is typically plastically deformable by hand to form the desired shape, may be substantially planar and may have various voids to promote controlled plastic deformation of the frame in one or more desired directions. The core may comprise a wire or tube and may include packing or filler material. The precursor includes a fiber layer impregnated with a thermoset resin and includes a compressor around the fiber layer. The fiber layer is supported internally or externally by the conformable support member. The precursor may be custom fitted to match the shape of an object and then thermally cured into a strong rigid product. The cured precursor can then be used to make a custom finished product.

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.
