Abstract: A design of a medical clamp is provided that offers improved retention to and gripping of a patient's appendages through an open ended tubular design. The inside of the clamp has a taper approximating human dimensions. The interior has a reticulated surface for enhanced gripability. The exterior is ribbed for patient gripability and air circulation. A condom catheter retention ring is provided along the outer top periphery. The clamp is of a split design with matingly engageable hinge halves held together with a roll pin and forced into its tubular configuration by a spring that pushes against wing extensions projecting from each clamp half. A thumb screw spans the space between the two halves and allows adjustment of the spring pressure as well as defining the closed diameter of the clamp.

Abstract: A novel design of a medical clamp is provided that offers improved retention to and gripping of a patient's finger or penis through the use of an open ended tubular design. The inside of the clamp has a slight 1 to 5 degree taper from top to bottom approximating human dimensions. The interior also has a reticulated surface for enhanced gripability. The exterior is ribbed with through holes for patient gripability and air circulation to reduce under clamp moisture buildup. A condom catheter retention ring is provided along the outer top periphery. The clamp is of a split design and has mirror image halves with matingly engageable hinge halves held together with a stainless steel roll pin and forced into its tubular configuration by a spring that pushes against wing extensions projecting from each clamp half. A thumb screw spans the space between the two halves and allows adjustment of the spring pressure as well as defining the closed diameter of the clamp.

Abstract: A bunion reliever apparatus utilizes a rigid, concave, and tapered brace to place counter-pressure directly on the bunion. Pain relief is immediate as the big toe is urged back into its natural alignment. A stabilizing strap secures the brace along the side of the foot and a correction strap encircles and is tightened around the big toe. The correction strap forces the outside of the big toe to contact the rigid brace. Since the force securing the stabilizing strap to the foot exceeds the force exerted on the big toe by the correction strap, a counter-force is transferred directly onto the most exaggerated extension of the bunion by the rigid brace. For use in conjunction with the bunion reliever apparatus a set of exercises for relaxation, re-direction, and new tissue memory is provided.
