An orthopedic device, including an articulating frame; and, a plurality of straps. The articulating frame includes a thigh portion, a calf portion, and a center hinge. The thigh portion includes a semi-flexible curved thigh cuff having an upper end configured to wrap anterior to the leg and a lower end. The calf portion includes a semi-flexible curved calf cuff having a lower end configured to wrap posterior to the leg and an upper end. The center hinge assembly includes a center hinge element, a first Q-angle adjuster, and a second Q-angle adjuster. The first Q-angle adjuster is positioned between the center hinge element and the thigh portion and is configured to adjust a Q-angle of the thigh portion of the articulating frame. The second Q-angle adjuster is positioned between the center hinge element and the calf portion and is configured to adjust a Q-angle of the calf portion.

A sock having a femur section and a patella section. The patella section has an outer layer, an inner layer, and a slit on the outer layer. The sock has a compressed tibia section, and a compression strap positioned between the outer layer and the inner layer. The compression strap has a first end extending through the slit and a second end extending through the slit.

A modular orthopedic bracing system is provided. The orthopedic bracing system includes a walking boot configured to cover at least the plantar aspect of the user's foot, a support detachably connectable to the walking boot and configured to suspend the weight of the user and an ankle-foot orthosis (“AFO”) detachably connectable to the walking boot. Also disclosed is a method for supporting an injured lower extremity, which includes the steps of attaching a first support member to the patient's leg, providing a second support member for an area at or beneath the foot and posterior portion of the lower leg, providing a first upward force on the patient's leg with the first support member, providing a second upward force on the foot with the second support member. By adjusting the amounts of the first upward force and the second upward force, the foot and lower leg, supported by the AFO, may be fully suspended, partially suspended or rest completely on the foot bed of the walking boot.

A wound dressing garment is provided. The wound dressing garment includes a wearable garment including a portion having a hole configured to receive a wound dressing therein in combination with the wound dressing. The wound dressing includes a border connecting the wound dressing to the wearable garment where the border extends around the perimeter of the hole to locate the wound dressing therein. The wound dressing may include one or more additional layers including a hydrogel layer. A method for treating wound or preventing bed sores using the wound dressing garment is also provided.

A compression system for applying compression to a body part of a user comprising a sleeve for substantially covering a portion of the body part of a user. The sleeve has two lateral side edges. The sleeve comprises a first lateral side region, a central region and a second lateral side region in a transverse direction from the first lateral side edge to the second lateral side edge. At least the central region of the sleeve comprises a material having elasticity in the transverse direction and longitudinal direction of the sleeve, The compression system further comprises a releasable closure system. The closure system is configured and arranged relative to the sleeve, such that, in use, upon closure of the closure system the sleeve is restrained and tightened about the body part of the user.

An apparatus suspends a post-amputation residuum protection device for a below the knee amputation. The suspending apparatus comprises an elongated arcuate first shell defining an open interior channel. The first shell is adapted to receive at least a portion of the residuum and the residuum protection device into the interior channel. A flexible second shell includes a circumferential wedge extending radially inwardly from a portion of an inner surface. The second shell is configured to be received within the first shell and adapted to cover the residuum adjacent to the knee. The wedge is adapted to bear against the residuum above the medial femoral condyle such that the wedge is received in the supracondylar space for suspending the residuum protection device.

The orthopedic device includes an articulating frame including a thigh portion including a curved thigh cuff, a calf portion including a curved calf cuff, and a center hinge connecting the thigh portion and the calf portion. A strap includes a calf end segment securely attachable to the calf portion. A suspension segment is adjacent to the calf end segment. A thigh end segment is securely attachable to the thigh portion. A spiraling segment is adjacent to the thigh end segment. An intermediate segment formed of webbing material is between the suspension segment and the spiraling segment. The clip engages the intermediate segment. The clip is engageable with a clip receptacle positioned on the calf portion. During use, the suspension segment lays across the top part of the calf minimizing migration. The intermediate segment facilitates movement of the strap through the clip adjusting the spiraling segment and the suspension segment.

A compression system for applying compression to a body part of a user. The compression system has a sleeve for substantially covering a portion of the body part of a user. The sleeve has two lateral side edges. In the transverse direction from the first lateral side edge to the second lateral side edge the sleeve has a first lateral side region, a central region and a second lateral side region. At least the central region of the sleeve has a material with elasticity in the transverse direction and longitudinal direction of the sleeve. The compression system has a releasable closure system. Upon closure of the closure system the sleeve is restrained and tightened about the body part of the user.

An orthopedic device, includes a wrap; an articulating frame; and, a plurality of straps attached to the wrap. The articulating frame is housed within the wrap and includes a thigh portion, a calf portion, and a center hinge. The thigh portion includes a semi-flexible curved thigh cuff configured to wrap anterior to the leg. The calf portion includes a semi-flexible curved calf cuff configured to wrap posterior to the leg. The center hinge connects the thigh portion and the calf portion. The orthopedic device combines the attributes of the rigid style single upright brace with a soft wrap that enhances ease of use and compliance. The anterior curved thigh cuff and the posterior curved calf cuff provide enhanced stability as the wrap concomitantly provides comfort.
