Patent number: 12059365Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described for providing a brace having an inflation control. The control directs fluid flow from an inflation component to one or more inflatable cells of the brace. The inflatable cells are independently inflated and deflated by the inflation component through the control. The control allows a user to create a fluid path between the inflation component and one of the inflatable cells by positioning the control in an orientation corresponding to the desired inflatable cells. Each inflatable cell is independently inflated and deflated in various orientations of the control.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: DJO, LLCInventors: Benjamin Batterson, Manikandan Sasidharan, Robert Ketelhohn, Carl T Whitaker

Publication number: 20240173159Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described for providing a fluid control means for an inflation system. The control directs fluid flow from an inlet to one or more outlets of the control. The outlets are independently connected in fluid communication with the inlet by through the control. The control allows a user to create a fluid path between the inlet and a selected outlet by positioning the control in an orientation corresponding to the desired outlet. Each outlet is independently connected in fluid communication with the inlet in various orientations of the control.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Batterson, Manikandan Sasidharan, Robert Ketelhohn

Publication number: 20240148533Abstract: Described herein are systems and devices for providing an orthopedic walking brace having a housing and a sole with a curved distal surface. The housing is configured to encompass and immobilize a patient's ankle against flexion. The distal surface of the sole has a posterior region, a mid region, and an anterior region. The posterior region is configured to lie under a heel portion of the patient's foot and has a first anterior-posterior (AP) curvature that increases from a posterior side of the posterior region toward a middle portion of the posterior region and decreases from the middle portion of the posterior region toward the mid region. The mid region is configured to lie under a center portion of the patient's foot. The anterior region is configured to lie under an anterior metatarsal and toe portion of the patient's foot and has a second AP curvature.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Batterson, Manikandan Sasidharan, Christopher P Loughnane, Derek Hugger, Lee Panecki, Chris Aiston
