  • Orthopedic device for distributing pressure
    Patent number: 7146753
    Abstract: The present invention alleviates pain and discomfort from a limb of a patient by redistributing pressure on the limb. The present invention involves an orthopedic device for redistribution of pressure exerted on a limb of a patient. The device comprises a pressure-absorbing member and a breakable container disposed in the pressure absorbing member. The pressure absorbing member is contoured to cooperate with the shape of the limb. The pressure absorbing member has a pressure receiving cavity formed therein. The breakable container is disposed in the pressure receiving cavity and includes a reactant molding material. The breakable container has a predetermined elastic threshold to allow the breakable container to break at a high pressure area and to allow the reactant molding material to disperse from the high pressure area upon pressure exertion on the breakable container by the limb.
