An adjustable finger splint having a main body and slide. The slide configured to move relative to the main body and including a wedge to apply variable pressure to an injured finger to cause the injured finger to extend or straighten. The main body having a proximal interphalangeal platform to support the proximal interphalangeal joint, a metacarpophalangeal platform to support the palm and metacarpophalangeal joint, and a slide platform to support the slide.

The present invention relates to a medical fixation apparatus for a lesion. According to an embodiment, a medical cast comprises: an expansion band having a predetermined length; a pair of elastic fibers which are coupled to opposite widthwise edges of the expansion band, are coated with a water-curable synthetic resin, and can surround a body part; and a plurality of coupling units, which have a flat shape and, when the pair of elastic fibers surround a body part, are arranged at a predetermined interval along an edge at which the pair of elastic fibers face each other to connect the pair of elastic fibers.

A nasal splint and methods for using such splints are provided. The nasal splint may include an elongate generally planar member comprising first and second ends, and a first outer surface and an opposite second outer surface; a tubular airway extending along the first outer surface at least partially between the first and second ends, thereby defining a lumen having an opening adjacent the first end; and a structure on one of the elongate member and tubular airway adjacent the first end supporting a feature that is spaced apart from the first outer surface and configured to support a suture across the opening when the suture is directed through the elongate member adjacent the first end and the feature.

Disclosed herein is a digit protector device for a foot, toe, hand, and/or finger, which digit protector device, in one embodiment, can be inserted or embedded in the plaster cast for a hand or foot, wrapped into a hand or foot splint bandage, or inserted in an orthopaedic hand or foot brace, boot, or sandal.

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 system and method for donning and labeling a body cast provides a protective body cast that is labeled. The system and method provides a protective body cast that forms padded protection around the body of a bedridden patient; and especially around the hip, buttock, and lower extremity pressure points. The body cast is composed of a nanomaterial and serves as an envelope for an inner lining of a softer material such as a composite foam rubber. The body cast is sectioned into a multi-layered enclosing cloth support wrap that is fabricated from a nanomaterial, an inner surface having padding, and at least one auxiliary padding that detachably attaches to the body cast for additional padding. Labels detachably attach to the lower portion of the support wrap for indicating information pertinent to the patient. A caregiver accesses the label to read and mark directly on a bedridden patient.

A wrist guard includes: a compression part having elasticity and surrounding the periphery of the wrist; a band part disposed on the outer side of the compression part to surround and tighten the circumference of the compression part surrounding the wrist; and a reinforcing bar disposed between the band part and the compression part, located around the ligament covering the wrist tunnel, and extending toward the elbow.
