Patent number: 11826273Abstract: The invention comprises an elastomeric athletic or orthopedic brace, support for a joint complex and is a network of interlinking elastomeric bands that extend radially from a hub member to support a joint in tension but provide for controlled hinging about an axis defined through the hub member. In particular, the brace is provided for an ankle.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: RUBBER CITY BRACING COMPANY LLCInventors: Dustin Ducharme, Annunziato Amendola, Bryan Den Hartog, David B.

Patent number: 11690747Abstract: A rear-entry ankle brace includes an elastomeric component defining an inside elbow channel configured to span an ankle joint. A channel opening extends the length of the elastomeric component for direct insertion on top of a leg. One or more leg straps are used to adjustably tension first and second rear edges of the channel opening toward one another and secure the brace to the lower leg. Two foot straps are used to adjustably tension first and second bottom edges of the channel opening toward one another and secure the brace to the mid-foot. The foot straps overlap on the bottom to define a plantar surface of the brace and cross over each other on the topside of the elastomeric component and are secured to a leg strap. A pair of stabilizing stirrups optionally are included on the inside surfaces of the elastomeric component and receive the malleoli.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: RUBBER CITY BRACING COMPANY LLCInventors: Annunziato Amendola, Anthony Perera, Bryan Den Hartog, David B. Kay, Nicholas Gomez, Ian D. Kovacevich, Nouphone J. Bansasine

Publication number: 20230172645Abstract: An orthopedic implant is specifically configured for use in osteotomies, in which part of the implant extends into an intramedullary portion of a first bone segment and a plate portion is external to the cortical surface of an adjacent bone segment to fix the segments to allow them to fuse. The body of the implant has a first end and a second end where the end which is inserted into the bone has a chamfer and a through hole having a hole axis optionally at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the implant, and which can receive a screw, peg or pin. The second end of the implant includes a plate portion with at least two offset screws.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: WRIGHT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: David B.
