Abstract
A joint dislocation reduction device includes an elongated flexible ribbon-like band extending along a central axis from a proximal end to a tapered distal end. A distal end coupling element is disposed at the distal end. A proximal end coupling element is disposed at the proximal end. A cord extends from the tapered distal end to a needle. In a form, the band includes a flexible metallic ribbon disposed within a surrounding flexible, insulating coating element, wherein the band includes one or more resilient shape-memory regions between the proximal and distal ends. With the band under applied axial tension, the proximal end and distal end coupling elements are adapted to form a coupling assembly coupling the proximal and distal ends, forming a closed loop around a clavicle and a coracoid process with a single 180° twist, whereby the band rests flush against the clavicle and the coracoid process.
