An artificial hand with multiple functions, no error operation and no complication is composed of such artificial units as finger bones, metacarpal bones, ulna, radius, muscle tendons, tendon sheaths, slide mechanism, muscles and skin. It can be connected to the crippled end of human radius by screw and its artificial muscle tendons can be linked with relative ones of human body by stitch.

An anti-adhesion biological membrane for muscle tendon and ligament is prepared from the muscle tendon of beef through removing impurities, washing, treating with acid, alkali and enzyme, cross-linking with chondroitin sulfate, and freeze drying. Its advantages are high structure stability, biocompatibility and degradability. It is applied by winding it on the clean muscle tendon or ligament after operation to form a false membrane.

A protective sports glove worn by athletes during training or for use in a combative event to protect against injury and increase performance (including but not limited to total force generation, grip strength, striking force and speed, muscular endurance, time to contraction, etc.). These gloves are engineered with a dorsal splint system and a cooperating adjustable dual strapping wrist tie system to secure the gloves to the contour of the hands, to ensure they remain tight and fixed, and to support the wrist from excessive bending. The dual strapping system with the dorsal splint system provides increased wrist/hand rigidity mirroring a tightness of hand wrap bandages for maximal bone and tendon support of the hands and wrists, and this novel tie system increases the transfer of force generation to the point of impact.

A tennis elbow pad assembly product for relieving the symptoms of lateral epicondylitis is disclosed. The tennis elbow pad assembly product includes an outer pouch formed of a moisture-impervious material. A pad is positioned in the pouch in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. The pad is adapted for being positioned against and molded onto a forearm in the region of the elbow for lying in closely-conforming relation against and applying radially-directed pressure to the common tendon attachment and grasping and supination muscles associated with the radial-humeral joint and the lateral epicondyle of a forearm and hardened into a rigid structure for therapeutic use. The pad includes an initially flexible substrate impregnated or coated with a reactive system. The system remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to moisture to form a rigid, self-supporting structure having a shape that conforms to the forearm to which the pad is molded during curing. The pad also includes a flexible outer layer enclosing the substrate and a support cooperating with the pad for maintaining the pad in its closely-conforming position against the forearm.

A calf muscle and tendon guard for wearing on a user's leg to cover and protect the user's calf muscles and achilles tendon against begin severed from contact with a blade of an ice skate includes a body which substantially surrounds the leg and ankle of a user and a flexible guard comprised of a cut resistant material substantially covering only the area of the calf muscle and the achilles tendon, said flexible guard substantially flexing with said body and conforming to the anatomy of the leg and ankle when worn.

The invention discloses a pair of muscle tendon introducing forceps. The muscle tendon introducing forceps comprise an occlusion part, a traction part and an operating part, wherein the occlusion partis used for accommodating and fixing a broken end of a muscle tendon, a first end of the traction part is connected onto the occlusion part, the traction part is used for dragging the occlusion partto move in the axial direction, the operating part is connected onto a second end of the traction part and used for controlling the occlusion part to accommodate the broken end of the muscle tendon and fixing the broken end of the muscle tendon, the occlusion part comprises a first forceps head fixedly connected with the traction part and a second forceps head which is rotationally connected ontothe first forceps head and/or the traction part, an accommodating cavity used for accommodating the broken end of the muscle tendon is defined by the first forceps head and the second forceps head, the occlusion end of the occlusion part is set as a round opening for annularly hooping the broken end of the muscle tendon during occlusion of the first forceps head and the second forceps head, and alasso mechanism for fixing the broken end of the muscle tendon by tightening when the broken end of the muscle tendon is accommodated is arranged in the accommodating cavity; and the operating part isconnected with the second forceps head and controls the second forceps head to rotate relative to the first forceps head to realize opening and closing control for occlusion of the occlusion part, and the operating part is connected with the lasso mechanism and controls the lasso mechanism to tighten or loosen the broken end of the muscle tendon.

A system of placeable and removable pressure nodules is provided having different types of size and configuration and having a density semi-soft, to rigid. The nodules are removably attachable and affixable into a back brace modified and adapted to implement SMRT. Precise, specialized, and individualized pressure is provided to the muscles, tendons, and connective tissues through the nodules in order to alleviate any need for manual massage. The user's own active motions (bending, twisting, walking) engages the muscles and massage the muscles with the pressure nodules.

A system and method of knee-ACL support breeches for supporting the knees against non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, without interfering in desired movement, by resisting anterior translation of the proximal end of the tibia, thereby reducing stress on the ACL and other knee components. A pair of calibrated-elastic bands are attached at one end to a belt about the waist and at the other end to a strap around each lower knee. The calibrated-elastic bands are incorporated into a pair of breeches or pants which hold the bands tightly against the buttocks and backs of the thighs. In use, when the knee is flexed, the resulting bulging of the hamstrings and other muscles, tendons, and ligaments place an added strain on the relevant calibrated-elastic band, thereby tightening the band and dampening and resisting anterior movement of the attached lower-knee strap, in turn dampening and resisting anterior movement of the proximal end of the tibia, thereby reducing strain on the ACL and other knee components. The knee-ACL support breeches also promote the holding of the knee in a rotationally neutral position, and larger knee-flexion-angle positions during deceleration, both of which positions reduce strain placed on the ACL.

The invention relates to a medical surgical instrument, in particular to a muscle tendon locating anastomat. The muscle tendon locating anastomat comprises a pair of locating pincers composed of a left clamping plate, a right clamping plate and a locating mechanism, a wire groove is formed in the lower end of the locating pincers, a through hole and a crack which are specially formed are formed in the wire groove, a suture wire is mounted on the wire groove in an 8-shaped penetrating and inserting mode according to a certain sequence. During use, broken ends of a muscle tendon are placed in the wire groove, ends of the suture wire are tightened to tighten the broken ends of the muscle tendon, then, tighten ed broken ends of the muscle tendon are in butt joint together through the locating pincers, and the ends of two suture wire are bound. The muscle tendon locating anastomat is simple to operate, easy to master, high in binding standardization degree, high in anastomosis quality and low in degree of dependence on individual experience of an operator; and and the broken ends of the muscle tendon are free from puncture injury, firm in binding and free from tearing the muscle tendon.
