Problems solved by technology

Additionally, typical orthotics lack the flexibility to accommodate different straps, nor do they extend from the main body to allow for the fixation of a variety of different accessories
[0008] In addition to the disadvantage that known orthotics are limited to use with either the left or right hand, many known orthotics are limited in their ability to accommodate only certain sized accessories

Abstract

An orthopedic brace is adaptable for either left or right sided use. The brace includes a soft good pad having a distal edge a proximal edge opposite the distal edge, a dorsal edge, and a radial edge opposite the dorsal edge. A strap retainer is disposed on the radial edge, and a strap pod is removably attachable to the pad in a left or right sided closure position. The strap pod cooperates with the strap retainer to secure the pad closed about a left limb, when the strap pod is attached in the left sided closure position, or about a right limb, when the strap pod is attached in the right sided closure position. A distal retention strap extends from the pad proximate to the distal and radial edges, and a reversible fastening member is coupled to the distal retention strap.

Description

technical field [0001] A number of orthopedic supports and orthotics have been devised to provide medical support or immobilization of a patient's limb or extremities. Such supports and braces range from simple elastic or textile bandages and braces to complex mechanical devices. Hand and wrist orthoses that include support for the thumb or other fingers, for example, typically include elastic or textile members that wrap around the patient's hand, wrist or other fingers. These orthotics may be supplemented for one or more specific medical purposes by adding rigid or semi-rigid support members, braces, splints, and the like. Background technique [0002] Orthopedic aligners generally need to be applied to a limb or limb at a specific location or orientation to obtain a good fit. For example, a wrist brace that includes a palm rest (intended to support the hand in an "upright" position) must be placed so that the palm rest wrist and the palm side of the hand are Part of th...
