Publication number: 20240108489Abstract: A sleeve has a tubular body formed from an elasticized textile and has first and second ends. The first end defines a locking cuff having a tacky band extending about an exterior surface of the sleeve; a non-tacky band located adjacent to and extending distally from the tacky band; and a receiving band located adjacent to and extending distally from the non-tacky band. The textile body further defines a central portion adjacent to and extending distally from the receiving band to the second end. The central portion includes an anatomical band arranged to contour to the anatomy of a user having at least one different elastic property different from an elastic property of the central portion outside of the anatomical band.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Sindri Pall SIGURDSSON, Hronn KRISTINSDOTTIR, Christophe VALOIS

Patent number: 11571319Abstract: An orthopedic device is arranged as a lightweight ankle-foot orthosis providing dynamic support for drop foot or related disorders requiring dorsiflexion. The orthopedic device includes a main support adapted to secure about a lower leg, a strap assembly having a first portion coupling to the main support, and a second portion arranged to be drawn therefrom, and an anchor for receiving and attaching to the second portion of the strap assembly. The location of the anchor along a foot component enables increased medial-lateral control, and the arrangement of the strap assembly permits dorsiflexion during swing phase of a user's gait.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: OSSUR ICELAND HFInventors: Bjorn Omarsson, Hronn Kristinsdottir, Liza Boon, Marcel Jansen

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

Publication number: 20220133520Abstract: An orthopedic device is provided for treating complications of the hip and has means for trochanter compression, pelvis support, lumbar compression, variously directed straps, and thigh support. The trochanter compression and an internal/external rotation strap provide pain relief through compression and skin protection, unloading of joints through compression and sealing, and unloading by load transfer. Means for adjustably dosing of straps enables pain management and ease of use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Arni Thor INGIMUNDARSON, Thorvaldur INGVARSSON, Nina BAKKEN, Valgeir PETURSSON, Helga Run PALSDOTTIR, Thorleifur STEFANSSON, Hronn KRISTINSDOTTIR, Stefan Orn STEFANSSON, Henry HSU
