20090281469 | COMPLIANCE STRAPPING - A compliance strapping includes a predetermined adjustability, tamper deterring and indicating strapping, adapted, in use, to form an encircling loop. The compliance strapping is passed around an object and for further security the strap can be threaded through lining material or through a wearable article or medical device. The free end of the elongate member is passed through the loop, which may be a D-loop sewn into the strapping, thus forming an encircling loop of strapping. The second end is brought around to close proximity with a region of the strapping which has been passed through the loop and the tamper indicating means fastened known as the self locking rivet to said region of the strapping. Thus the encircling loop cannot be broken because the region of the strapping with the self locking rivet fastened thereto cannot pass back through the D-loop. | 11-12-2009 |
20100234780 | ADJUSTABLE PELVIC COMPRESSION BELT AND METHODS FOR REDUCING THE WIDTH OF, AND/OR REALIGNING, A USER'S HIPS - An adjustable pelvic compression belt for the reducing the width of, and/or realigning, a user's hips that is particularly adapted for post-parturition use. The belt may include an inner belt to be wrapped around the user's hips and positioned below the iliac crest. The midpoint of an outer belt may be attached to the inner belt at or near the midpoint of the inner belt. The ends of the outer belt may be adjusted to cinch the inner belt around the hips of the user, thereby compressing the user's pelvic girdle. Thereafter, the outer belt may be incrementally adjusted to further compress the user's pelvic girdle resulting in a narrowing of the user's hips. The belt is preferably worn within two to three months post-parturition or during a period in which relaxin is being administered to the user, and has a strength and thickness that facilitates use under garments. | 09-16-2010 |
20100298747 | BODY-ADHESIVE KINESIOLOGY TAPE - One example embodiment includes body-adhesive kinesiology tape. The body-adhesive kinesiology tape includes a strip of kinesiology tape. The strip of kinesiology tape includes a first end and a second end where the second end is opposite the first end. The body-adhesive kinesiology tape also includes a longitudinal cut in the strip of kinesiology tape extending from the first end to a pre-determined distance from the second end and adhesive on a first surface of the strip of kinesiology tape. The adhesive is configured to adhere the strip of kinesiology tape to a human body. The body-adhesive kinesiology tape further includes a backing material on the first surface of the strip of kinesiology tape. The backing material is configured to cover the adhesive and protect the adhesive from drying until a user is ready to apply the strip of kinesiology tape to the human body. | 11-25-2010 |
20110275969 | PRE-CUT STRIPS OF KINESIOLOGY TAPE - One example embodiment includes a pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape includes a fabric. The fabric includes a weave of fibers, where the fibers include an elastic fiber covered by a covering material. The fabric also includes a first end and a second end, where the second end is opposite the first end. The fabric further includes one or more rounded corners. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape also includes a longitudinal cut in the fabric. The longitudinal cut passes through at least a portion of the fabric and extends from the first end to a pre-determined distance from the second end. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape also includes adhesive on a first surface of the fabric, where the adhesive is configured to adhere the fabric to a human body. | 11-10-2011 |
20120071802 | Systems, Devices, and Methods for Mechanically Reducing and Fixing Bone Fractures - A fracture reduction is mechanically achieved by supporting a body region having the bone fracture on a frame. A first reduction mechanism on the frame is operated to apply to the bone fracture a first predefined force reduction vector that returns the bone fracture to a corrective alignment in a first anatomic orientation, while also mechanically maintaining the corrective alignment in the first anatomic orientation. Independently, a second reduction mechanism on the frame is operated to apply a second predefined force reduction vector that returns the bone fracture to a corrective alignment in a second anatomic orientation different than the first anatomic orientation without altering the corrective alignment in the first anatomic orientation, while mechanically maintaining the corrective alignment in the second anatomic orientation. The fracture reduction is mechanically fixed by mechanically guiding the placement at least one bone fixing device into the reduced bone fracture. | 03-22-2012 |
20120232448 | NEW KINESIOLOGY TAPE - The invention relates to a dermal body-adhesive tape, comprising an elastic woven fabric and an adhesive coating layer applied thereon, characterized in that the adhesive coating layer is covered with a plurality of fascial bodies. | 09-13-2012 |
20130116608 | SHRINK-TUBE MEDICAL AND PROTECTIVE DEVICE - A therapeutic, supportive, or protective device is fabricated from a material capable of contracting in response to interacting with heat, cold, a chemical reagent, electromagnetic energy, or mechanical energy. The device is positioned over an anatomical joint or other body part and via a “shrink fit,” conforms to the part, providing a customizable fit. | 05-09-2013 |
20140257155 | Kinesiologic Tape - The present invention relates to a kinesiologic tape which is provided with at least one molded body, said molded body comprising metal, healing stones, wood, ceramics and/or combinations thereof. | 09-11-2014 |
20140343469 | Orthopedic Cast Cover - An orthopedic cast cover is provided. The present cast cover provides a removable, sleeve-like device that securely fits over an orthopedic cast to protect skin, clothing, furniture, and other articles from being damaged by the hard, abrasive surface of a plaster or fiberglass orthopedic cast. The present cast cover may further be padded to add an additional layer of protection to the cast cover. The distal end of the cast cover is adapted to fit over the user's hand protruding from the body of the cast and thereby firmly secure it in place. The present invention also has a removable flap or window portion that allows the cast being covered by the present invention to be accessed for activities such as cast signing. | 11-20-2014 |
20150088042 | Equine Leg Cast Rocker Attachment - A device or structure for fitting on the bottom of an equine leg cast to protect the cast from abrasion and wear, to aid in keeping the cast clean and, in one aspect, to provide a shaped molded rocker bottom that allows the leg cast hoof to rock forward or back, allowing the equine to find a naturally comfortable position and the method of applying the device to an equine leg cast. The device or structure consist, in general, of a solid member having a top face and a bottom face and having malleable straps attached to the solid member and extending from at least two sides of the solid member, which straps are made of material and sized to be capable of being bent or folded upward in a plane perpendicular to the top face of the solid member to attach to an equine leg cast. | 03-26-2015 |
20160051393 | KINESIOLOGY TAPE - One or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include kinesiology tape that may include a first layer of fabric with an adhesive on a first side of the first layer of fabric. The kinesiology tape may also include a second layer of fabric that may be coupled to the first layer of fabric. The first layer of fabric and the second layer of fabric may form a receiving portion. The kinesiology tape may also include a support disposed in the receiving portion. The present disclosure may also relate to associated methods. | 02-25-2016 |
20160185566 | Roll Material Dispenser and Method - Disclosed are a roll material dispenser and method of dispensing a roll material. The roll material dispenser comprises a container having a generally cylindrical body and cover and first and second slits disposed in the wall surface, and a roll of roll material disposed within the interior of the container. Roll material may be obtained by dispensing the roll material through a first slit, removing a portion of the material so dispensed, and tucking a lead end of the roll material into the second slit. | 06-30-2016 |
