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 composite moldable splint and method for using the same is described. In some embodiments, the splint has at least a partially fluid-filled inner volume, which in some embodiments may include foam, rubber, water, or pelletized material, enclosed by a flexible liner, surrounded by a thermoplastic layer that is flexible and moldable when heated. The inner volume, which may include a thermoactive adhesive having differing viscosity characteristics at a plurality of temperatures, provides the ability to mold the cushion into a wide range of shapes and contours, such as when forming around a body part. The thermoplastic layer provides the ability of the cushion to be molded when heated, while the inner volume tends to maintain a shape, and allows the thermoplastic layer to stay in its formed shape as the cushion cools. The cushion may be used in a range of medical applications for stabilizing patients and body parts.

A multifunctional pill box carrying pouch is revealed. The pill box carrying pouch includes at least one pill box, at least one pouch, and at least two long ties. The pill box is a rigid rectangular box while the two long ties form a single longer tie. The respective long ties are detachably connected to the pouch by the two second connecting members. The pill box carrying pouch has a limb-carrying mode and a waist-carrying mode. Users can select the limb-carrying mode of the pill box carrying pouch when user's limb is injured and a support for the limb is required. By the two long ties arranged adjacent to each other and tightened around an arm or a leg of the human body, the pill box carrying pouch is closely attached to the wound on the limb for supporting wounded area or for hemostasis.

An orthopedic field splint and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the orthopedic field splint, a body has flexion and extension movement parallel to a longitudinal axis between a horizontal axial plane and a rolled sleeve. A coupling member is hingedly connected to the body in overlapping releasable engagement in a closed retracted position and extending beyond the body in an open extended position. A receiving pocket is connected to the body. The receiving pocket and the coupling member having mutually completing mating forms. Multiple sleeves extend longitudinally through the body and each of the sleeves is parallel to the longitudinal axis and configured to accept a rigid slat.

An articular support for supporting bones connected to one another by joints, includes at least one support splint, which is structured in at least two segments. The support splint has at least one guide per segment to receive a reinforcing element for longitudinal coupling of the at least two segments and coupling means for transverse coupling of this support splint to at least one additional neighboring support splint.

A foldable splint and method of use is provided. The foldable splint includes a main body divided into a plurality of panels and segments by a grid of living hinges. Each panel includes opposed first and second outer segments and a plurality of inner segments extending therebetween. By folding the main body along segment hinges, the splint is moved to a first rigid configuration for securing an appendage in a straight configuration. By further folding the splint at opposed pinch locations, the splint is moved to a second rigid configuration for securing an appendage in a bent configuration. By folding the splint along panel hinges, the splint is moved to a third rigid configuration for securing around an abdomen or pelvis of a user. When not in use, the splint can be moved back to the stowable configuration by folding the various panels over each other.

An inner-side pillar supporter according to the present invention includes a plate-shaped pillar including: a fixed portion coming into contact with an inner side of an ankle joint at the malleolus medialis from an inner side of a calcaneus, and an inversion preventing portion formed integrally with the fixed portion to extend over the malleolus medialis; and a fixing member press fixing the fixed portion of the pillar onto the inner side of the ankle joint at the malleolus medialis from the inner side of the calcaneus.

A reusable thermoplastic cast may include: a core material (10) having a net shape as a result of molding a synthetic resin elastomer into a net shape by of injection molding or press-working; and a structure (20), which consists of a polycaprolactone composite material and is molded to surround the outer circumferential surface of the core material (10) by insert injection. Example embodiments improve breathability by forming a cast in a net shape and provide a cast which is structurally sturdy and appropriate for mass production by molding the cast by, e.g., insert injection.

Customizable split kits are provided including a plurality of components that may be assembled into a waterproof and breathable wrist splint. The splint assembled from the kit can fit multiple size/shaped arms or other appendages, is moldable for custom positioning, protective, immobilizing, and locks-on for compliance.

A compact, lightweight, portable, foldable, multi-purpose, multi-functional, medical splint, primarily to use in emergency and/or remote situations to effectively provide quick, easy, and rigid immobilization to a person's limbs.
