A lining (16) is provided for being positioned between the frame (12) and the leg when in use to cushion and protect the leg against direct contact with the frame (12). A spine (18) is provided for being positioned on the frame (12) substantially along an elongate axis of the frame (12) from above to below the knee and formed in an angle for maintaining the frame (12) in a predetermined rigid medical treatment extension position on the leg.

Abstract: Pad, in particular for a back bandage with an anterior side facing the body and a posterior side facing away from the body, with the anterior side of the pad being provided with at least one dam-shaped, linear elevation, which is oriented substantially parallel to the sagittal axis, and with both ends of the dam-shaped elevation comprising at least one raised friction point.

Abstract: The specification and drawings describe and show an embodiment of the present invention in the form of a joint brace comprising:

Abstract: A bandage 1 for the ankle joint, with a lower-leg part 20 and with a foot part 10 with two straps 11, 12, the lower-leg part 20 having at least one strap 21, 22, the foot part 10 having a first strap 11 on the medial side and a second strap 12 on the lateral side, the lower-leg part 20 and the foot part 10 being connected to one another in such a way that, when the bandage 1 is applied to the foot, the heel area is left open, and, with the bandage 1 applied, the lower-leg part 20 wraps round the posterior face of the lower leg in the distal lower-leg area and can be closed, particularly on the anterior face, and the foot part 10 lies under the sole and wraps round the foot with the medial strap 11 and the lateral strap 12, said straps 11, 12 starting from the plantar area, overlapping across the back of the foot and extending medially and laterally to the distal area of the lower leg.

Abstract: Wrist bandage 1 with a first angled strip 10 which consists of two branches 101, 102 which run together at an acute angle and whose inner edges 131, 132 are connected to one another at least in sections, and with a second elongate strip 40 which is attached to the second branch 102 of the angled strip 10. In the transition area between the branches 101, 102, a substantially round incision 30 is made which starts in the first branch 101 and extends into the second branch 102 and, when the bandage 1 is applied, serves to receive the thumb, and which, in the distal forearm area, at the transition to the carpal area, wraps round the carpal area in a circle.

Abstract: A clavicle bandage having two adjustable-length strips made from non-extensible material, wherein the free ends of the strips form loops about a ring and wherein the other ends of the strips fasten to the ring by a material pocket and are fixed at an angle relative to one another by the material pocket. The ring has a flat, elliptical cross-section and freely rotates within the material pocket. The strips are fixed at an angle from sixth to eighty degrees.

Abstract: Self-adhesive shaped body which is adapted to the anatomy, has a proprioceptive effect and is intended for medical purposes, having a bond strength of from 1 N/cm to 25 N/cm, an extensibility of more than 10%, a thickness of more than 0.5 mm and a resilience of more than 50% for a tensile stress of 5 N/cm2.
