Provided is a self-fitting and automatically adjustable clasp band/strap which is usable in medical immobilization (e.g., casts, splints, braces) and multiple other fixation devices. The clasp band/strap may have a shape memory material and clasp members attached to two ends of the clasp band/strap. Upon stimulation by a trigger source, the shape memory material deforms which brings the two end portions closer to each other, causing the two clasp members to attach to each other to form a closure. Additionally, the clasp band/strap may include a motor, a control unit, and sensors to enable a motor actuated fine tensioning. Finally, the clasp band/strap may have an adhesive backing or any other kind of annealing or connective backing, such as a Velcro strap with an adhesive backing, for attaching to a splint or other object.

A garment adjustment system includes a first connective element removably fastened to a garment by at least a first fastener affixed to the garment in a first location. A second connective element is removably fastened to the garment by at least a second fastener affixed to the garment in a second location. A linking component is linked to the first connective element and the second connective element such that adjustment of the linking component changes a distance between the first location and the second location of the garment.

A piece of sculpting clothing capable of quick assembly, disassembly and replacement of clothing pieces includes clothing pieces and first, second tightening clothing pieces, where the two sides of each clothing piece are respectively configured with longitudinally arranged first, second fasteners, allowing the clothing pieces pieced together. The first, second tightening clothing pieces are also respectively configured with longitudinally arranged first, second fasteners engaging with the first, second fasteners of clothing pieces, forming a complete piece of sculpting clothing. The clothing pieces enable the quick assembly of a piece of sculpting clothing that conforms to the shape and size of a wearer, thereby substantially reducing customization cost and labor. The first, second fasteners also jointly form a rib structure providing a longitudinal support to the wearer's torso. The present invention therefore completely eliminates the shortcoming of traditional sculpting clothing that must be additionally installed with metal supporting bars.

The present invention relates to an abdominal and lumbar supporting device in the form of corset which is worn during different stages of pregnancy and different stages of postpartum and worn during medical condition which extend the size of the lower abdomen. The device allows a user to continuously wear something that is both comfortable and discrete.
