Abstract: A fraction splint for providing treatment to a broken or damaged lower extremity which includes a segmented-pole, an ankle assembly having a pad, strap, and retaining assembly, wherein the ankle assembly is retained inwardly of the foot, a groin assembly having a pad, strap, and tensioning assembly extending away from the ankle assembly, and a plurality of cravat straps. The ankle assembly has a curved back plate with upper and lower recesses to permit space for ankle prominences and a double-socket and closed-ended retaining cap for receiving a folded or non-folded end of the segmented-pole. The tensioning assembly includes a back plate, an open-ended intermediary socket, an adjustment assembly, and a retaining cap having a closed-ended socket for receiving the opposite end of the pole. The adjustment assembly is used to move the upper retaining cap towards or away from the back plate to apply traction to the attached leg.

Abstract: A wheeled attachment for a litter for transportation of a litter via a single operator. The wheeled attachment generally includes a traverse frame extending across one end of the litter, first and second receiver tubes pivotally connected to opposing ends of the frame, the first and second receiver tubes pivoting between a first position against the frame and a second position perpendicular with the frame to receive the handle ends of the litter, and including first and second wheels pivotally connected to opposing ends of the frame and coupled to the receiver tubes to also pivot between the first and second pivotal positions parallel to and perpendicular with the frame. The receiver tubes also include an opening and coupler assembly for fixing the handles within the respective coupler. The frame further preferably extends above the netting of the litter to provide a foot stop for the patient upon the litter.

Abstract: A spine immobilizer with removable straps for efficiently providing removable straps upon a spine immobilizer for cleaning, maintenance, replacement, or inspection purposes. The spine immobilizer generally includes an immobilizer panel comprised of a semi-rigid structure, wherein the immobilizer panel has a central support, first wings laterally extending from a first end of the central support, and second wings laterally extending from a second end of the central support, a plurality of connectors extending from a back side of the immobilization panel along the first wings and the second wings, and a plurality of strap assemblies removably connected to the plurality of connectors. The plurality of strap assemblies are adapted to removably connect to a correlating strap assembly via a buckle-connector structure and join the first wings and join the second wings of the immobilization panel about a patient.

Abstract: A traction splint device for providing aid to a person suffering from a broken or fractured lower extremity. The device generally includes a collapsible shaft adapted to be positioned alongside a leg of a patient, a first support connected to a first end of the shaft, and a second support connected to a second end of the shaft. The first support is adapted to be positioned forwardly of a lower end of the leg and includes a center brace having a notch. A plurality of stabilizing straps traverse the shaft and are adapted to constrain the leg. At least one of the straps is adapted to wrap around the notch of the center brace to secure a lower end of the leg and at least one of the straps is adapted to extend through an opening of the second support to secure an upper end of the leg.

Abstract: A human transporting system for efficiently removing an injured person out of water. The human transporting system generally includes a handle, a pair of straps attached to the handle, a pair of sliding loops attached to the straps forming looped portions for receiving the wrists of an injured human, and a pair of biasing members attached between the handle and the sliding loops. The looped portions receive the wrists of the injured human and the user pulls the injured human from the water by pulling upon the handle which tightens the looped portions upon the wrists. Once the injured human is pulled out of the water, the handle is lowered thereby allowing the biasing members to loosen the looped portions about the wrists.

Abstract: A wheeled attachment system for efficiently attaching to a spine board to allow the spine board to be easily maneuvered over various surfaces (e.g. flat surfaces, stairs, etc.). The wheeled attachment system generally includes a front support, a pair of wheel assemblies extending from opposing sides of the front support, a pair of side supports extending from the front support adjacent the pair of wheel assemblies and at least one strap extending from the pair of side supports. The side supports and the front support define a cavity adapted to receive an end of a spine board, wherein the strap is adapted to secure the pair of wheel assemblies about the spine board. A pair of extension members interconnect the pair of wheel assemblies with the front support so that a center rotational axis of the pair of wheel assemblies is vertically offset with the front support.

Abstract: A wheeled attachment system for efficiently attaching to a spine board to allow the spine board to be easily maneuvered over various surfaces (e.g. flat surfaces, stairs, etc.). The wheeled attachment system generally includes a support structure including a shaft, a plurality of wheels and at least one support, wherein at least three of the plurality of wheels are rotatably attached at each opposing end of the shaft and wherein the plurality of wheels form a tri-wheeled structure upon each of the opposing ends of the shaft. The support extends outwardly from the shaft between the opposing ends of the shaft, wherein the support stabilizes the support structure upon an object positioned adjacent the support structure. An attachment structure extends from the support structure, wherein the attachment structure removably secures the attachment structure and the support structure to the object.

Abstract: A wheeled attachment system for efficiently attaching to a spine board to allow the spine board to be easily maneuvered over various surfaces (e.g. flat surfaces, stairs, etc.). The wheeled attachment system generally includes an end support, a pair of wheel assemblies extending from opposing sides of the end support, a pair of side supports extending from the end support adjacent the pair of wheel assemblies and at least one strap extending from the pair of side supports. The side supports and the end support define a cavity adapted to receive an end of a spine board, wherein the strap is adapted to secure the pair of wheel assemblies about the spine board.

Abstract: A medical arm securing device for temporarily securing the arms of an immobile person in an accessible position. The medical arm securing device includes a main member, and a first slot and a second slot extending into the main member. The slots receive the wrists of an immobile patient and prevent the arms from falling to the sides. A securing slot extends into a bottom portion of the main member for attaching to a strap. A plurality of notches preferably extend into the front and rear ends of the main member for selectively receiving a band member.
