Abstract: A fastener adapter and fastener strap combination includes a first strap member having first and second ends, an outer surface and an inner surface with hook material; and a second strap member having first and second opposing surfaces of hook material. The second strap member is attached to the inner surface intermediately between the first and second ends of the first strap member. The first surface of the second member and a portion of the inner surface of the first member define a first all-hook opening. The second surface of the second member and a portion of the inner surface of the first member define a second all-hook surface. The combination also includes a continuous fastener strap having first and second end portions, the first end portion frictionally attached to the first all-hook opening and the second end portion frictionally attached to the second all-hook surface.

Abstract: A fastener adapter for connecting fastener straps. The fastener adapter includes an outer member, and an inner member attached at an angle to the outer member such that the outer and inner members cooperate to form first and second pockets. At least one of the first and second pockets defines one of an all-hook and an all-loop pocket.

Abstract: A brace for a patient appendage. The brace can include a first member and a second member. The first member is positioned proximate a first side of the patient appendage and includes a main body portion extending in a longitudinal direction. The first member additionally includes a circumferentially extending portion at least partially extending about the patient appendage. The second member is positioned proximate a second side of the patient appendage and includes a first end having an outer convexly curved portion.

Abstract: A brace to be worn over the wrist for preventing and reducing pain and discomfort associated with the ulnar styloid of the wrist. The brace includes a band circumferentially fitted around the wrist. The band has an opening positioned to circumferentially surround the ulnar styloid. A pressure ring is attached to the opening, so that when the band is fittingly secured around the wrist with the ulnar styloid protruding through the opening, the pressure ring exerts controlled pressure to tissues associated with the ulnar styloid.
