  • Patent number: 10555827
    Abstract: An orthosis device having a substantially rigid thermo-formable substrate having a substrate profile defined by a substrate top edge, an opposite substrate bottom edge, and opposite substrate side edges interconnecting the substrate top and bottom edges, the substrate profile being substantially symmetrical about a centerline thereof, whereby the device becomes moldable when activated by a forming temperature above ambient, and the symmetry of the substrate enables the device to be used in both left hand and right hand applications.

  • Patent number: 8853603
    Abstract: A packaged product, such as a thermo-formable splinting or bracing product adapted to be heated by microwave energy, which packaged product comprises a water laden absorbent material (5), optionally sealed in a first water-impervious container (6), wherein said absorbent material (5) is adapted to permit microwave energy to enter and heat the water held in the absorbent material (5), the first container (6) being microwave transparent and the product to be heated and the absorbent material are disposed adjacent each other but are separated by a water-impervious barrier.

  • Patent number: 8821423
    Abstract: 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.
