A connector assembly having a pin and a housing. The pin having an insulator layer or material separating two adjacent electrical contacts. The electrical contacts can each include a contact band and a tab extending from the contact band. An electrical contact can be established with a spring contact and the contact band can at least partially surrounds the insulator around the lengthwise axis of the pin. Two electrical contacts can be positioned in an axial or longitudinal offset configuration.

Connectors and related methods

A coil spring for use in a cavity, such as in a groove of a pin, a housing, or both. The cavity can also be part of a seal assembly. The coil spring can have a longitudinal component positioned within the plurality of interconnected coils that runs along the spring coil axis in order to increase rigidity of the coil spring. The longitudinal component applies a load against the coil spring and/or provides restriction against the coil spring taking a shape or size different than that of the coil spring retaining groove.

A coupling device for an orthopedic brace includes an anchoring member for securing to a frame and protruding therefrom, and a subshell arranged to connect to the frame by the anchoring member. The subshell has a locking element for selectively positioning the subshell on the frame at a plurality of locations. The subshell may include an end portion or contoured edge extending beyond a portion of the frame so as to flex relative to the frame.

Configurable subshell components in orthopedic devices

A hinge for an orthopedic device includes an upper hinge component having a bottom peripheral surface defined by a first geometrical configuration, and a lower hinge component having a top peripheral surface defined by a second geometrical configuration. An outer plate pivotally connects at first location points to the upper and lower hinge components, and a rear component pivotally connects at second location points to the upper and lower hinge components. The hinge has a rotation stop defining a third geometrical configuration defining a top portion corresponding in shape to at least a portion of the bottom peripheral surface and is arranged to directly abut the portion of the bottom peripheral surface. The rotation stop also defines a bottom portion corresponding in shape to at least a portion of the top peripheral surface and is arranged to directly abut the portion of the top peripheral surface.

Hinge for orthopedic devices

A leg support is adapted to be secured to a leg. The leg support includes an elongate and continuous strut having first and second rigid or semi-rigid segments, and a flexible middle segment located therebetween. The strut is arranged for securing to a posterior side of a leg and is centrally located along a medial-lateral plane of a leg. A resilient device is secured to the strut against a first surface thereof and extends across a length of the middle strut segment whereby the resilient device is configured to assist and resist certain movements of a leg. A coupling arrangement is arranged to be secured to footwear.
