Publication number: 20240000595Abstract: A polycentric hinge for an orthopedic device includes first and second hinge arms, and two cover plates, rather than numerous individual parts and fasteners. The first and second cover plates define a plurality of bearings and a plurality of recesses for receiving the bearings, whereby the hinge arms are mounted about the bearings and are pivotable relative to one another while encased by the first and second cover plates. Additional bearing surfaces are provided for securing snap-fitted rotation stops without a tool or fasteners. The components of the hinge are formed from injection molded materials such as plastics.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Halldor ALBERTSSON, David SANDAHL, Valgeir PETURSSON

Publication number: 20230058917Abstract: A prosthetic attachment system and corresponding lock assembly are provided for connecting a distal end of a prosthetic liner to a distal end of a prosthetic socket, by combining vacuum suspension and mechanical suspension. An attachment pin extends from a distal end of the prosthetic liner. A connector assembly secures to a distal end of the prosthetic socket and is adapted for receiving and locking to the attachment pin. A lanyard assembly has a first end secured to the connector assembly and a second end extending outwardly from the distal end of the prosthetic socket and adapted to secure to an exterior surface of the prosthetic socket by an external securing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Hafsteinn JONASSON, Sigurdur HANNESSON, Oskar Thor LARUSSON, Margret Sol RAGNARSDOTTIR, Halldor ALBERTSSON

Patent number: 11547589Abstract: An orthopedic device comprising a first shell, a second shell, and a hinge connecting to the first and second shells. A first strap having a first end slidably connects to the first shell and a second end removably anchors to the second shell. An overlay extends over a portion of the first shell and forms a clearance with the first shell into which the first end of the first strap extends. Portions of the overlay secure to the first shell outside of the clearance.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: OSSUR ICELAND EHFInventors: Valgeir Petursson, Hronn Kristinsdottir, Stefan Orn Stefansson, Sindri Pall Sigurdsson, Halldor Albertsson

Patent number: 10292454Abstract: An orthopedic device includes a lateral wedge positionable under a foot of a user. The lateral wedge has posterior and anterior ends, and upper and lower surfaces. First and second sides extend between the upper and lower surfaces. A thickness is defined between the upper and lower surfaces that tapers from the first side toward the second side such that the lateral wedge provides a lift under the foot to unload pressure from an affected compartment of the knee by supporting a one side of the foot in an elevated position relative to the other. At least one trim line extends in a direction between the posterior and anterior ends. The lateral wedge is trimmable along the at least one trim line to vary or control the amount of lift provided by varying the thickness of the lateral wedge along the first side relative to the second side.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Ossur Iceland, ehfInventors: Bjorn Omarsson, Halldor Albertsson, Thorleifur Stefansson, Larus Gunnsteinsson, Arni Thor Ingimundarson
