Abstract

An orthopedic brace is adaptable for either left or right sided use. The brace includes a softgood 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] Many orthopedic supports and orthotics have been designed to provide medical support or fixation for the patient's limbs or limbs. Such supports and aligners range from simple elastic or textile bandages and aligners to complex mechanical devices. It includes hand and wrist orthoses used to support the thumb or other fingers, for example, usually including elastic or textile members, which can be wrapped around the patient's hand, wrist or other fingers. By adding rigid or semi-rigid support members, braces, splints, etc., these orthoses can be used as supplements for one or more specific medical purposes. Background technique [0002] It is generally necessary to apply orthopedic appliances to the specific position or orientation of the limb or limb to obtain a good fit. For example, a wrist orthosis that includes a palm brace (intent to support the hand in an "upright" position) must be placed such that the palm brace is positioned at the wrist joint and ...
