An orthopedic device has an elongate, tubular body defining a patella opening located generally at a center portion of the tubular body. A patella buttress including a buttress pocket is located on the tubular body and about the patella opening. The buttress pocket has various stretchability characteristics relative to the tubular body. A buttress element is associated with the buttress pocket.

Orthopedic device

An orthopedic device has at least one flexible or rigid frame member contoured to generally correspond to an anatomical limb. The device also includes a tightening system having a dial tensioning device and at least one cable and/or strap connected to the dial tensioning device. The dial tensioning device has a rotary ratchet permitting incremental adjustment of the cable and/or strap. Adjustment of the dial tensioner in a first direction secures the frame member to the limb.

Orthopedic devices utilizing rotary tensioning

An illumination apparatus is described that includes a set of illumination components. The illumination apparatus also includes a housing structure having an overall width and an overall length. The housing structure includes a cavity to house the set of illumination components, which is defined by, at least, a first lateral wall of the housing structure and a second lateral wall of the housing structure that each extends along the overall length, and a base of the housing structure. The housing structure includes a set of openings on the base, where each opening extends from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall.

Illumination apparatus

An orthopedic device includes a posterior shell with ankle and foot receiving portions. The foot receiving portion defines a plantar shell portion and side shell portions extending along first and second sides of the plantar shell portion and forming an open-ended toe portion. A toe protector portion is removably attached to the posterior shell at the open-ended toe portion and arranged to protect the toes of the user. The toe protector portion extends between the side shell portions and longitudinally along a length of the side shell portions. At least one inflatable bladder is disposed in at least the ankle receiving portions and at least one pump assembly is in fluid communication with the at least one inflatable bladder.

Circumferential walker

An orthopedic device in the form of a circumferential walker includes a first member (posterior shell) and a second member (dorsal shell) corresponding to the first member. An outsole or plantar shell portion is attached to, or formed on or with the posterior shell. A hinge mechanism is provided between the posterior and dorsal shells to allow the dorsal shell to be swung away from the posterior shell in order to accommodate an anatomical limb therein. Inflatable bladders having perspiration wicking channels and/or openings are provided within a liner for insertion between the posterior and dorsal shells. Quick-connecting buckle and retaining assemblies can be provided to allow a user to quickly don and doff the orthopedic device.

An orthopedic device includes a posterior shell with ankle and foot receiving portions, and first and second wing portions forming an opening over a dorsal aspect of the posterior shell. A dorsal shell is contoured to substantially correspond to the opening of the posterior shell. The dorsal shell includes a proximal member and a distal member hingedly connected to the proximal member via a hinge mechanism. A pump assembly receiving opening is defined in the proximal member of the dorsal shell and a raised portion extends longitudinally along an exterior surface of the dorsal shell. A plurality of clearance holes are defined in the first and second wing portions. An inflatable bladder is disposed at least in the ankle receiving portion of the posterior shell. A pump assembly is inserted through the pump assembly receiving opening and is in fluid communication with the inflatable bladder.

An orthopedic device has a main body panel including a longitudinal length with a curved cross-section, and opposed lateral and medial sides. A posterior panel is secured to the lateral and medial sides of the main body panel, and is sized longitudinally shorter than the main body panel in a non-stretched condition. The posterior panel is secured to the main body panel in a pretensioned condition and spans the longitudinal length of the main body panel along the lateral and medial sides thereof.

An orthopedic device in the form of a circumferential walker includes a first member (posterior shell) and a second member (dorsal shell) corresponding to the first member. An outsole or plantar shell portion is attached to, or formed on or with the posterior shell. An expansion joint is positioned in the posterior shell or dorsal shell to expand to accommodate larger sized lower legs. The dorsal and posterior shells may include flexible or resilient edge portions to reduce pressure points and to further accommodate users having larger sized lower legs. The dorsal shell also includes a flexible or resilient connecting portion to accommodate users having larger ankles and feet and to reduce or eliminate the formation of a pressure point along the dorsal shell. Quick-connecting buckle assemblies can be provided to allow a user to quickly don and doff the orthopedic device.
