Therapeutic elastic band (flossing) with Velcro fastener for the treatment of movement disorders and pain

Abstract

Flossing band for therapeutic use, comprising an elastic, elongated band made of flexible material that wraps around body parts, characterized in that the band is equipped at one end with a hook and loop fastener, which consists of a hook strip at the outermost end on the body-facing side and several loop strip elements on the body-facing side approximately 60-40 cm before the end of the band, thereby enabling an adjustable and secure fixation of the band.

Description

[0001] This utility model relates to a therapeutic flossing band with a hook-and-loop fastener, specifically designed for use in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. It is an elastic, flexible band used for targeted pressure and compression therapy on various parts of the body. This band is used to promote blood circulation, improve mobility, and relieve muscle tension. Technical features:

[0002] The flossing band with Velcro fastener includes the following features: 1. Elastic Material: The band is made of a stretchy, durable material that wraps tightly around various parts of the body and applies even compression. The material is skin-friendly, water-repellent, and easily disinfected, making it ideal for professional, therapeutic use. 2. Integrated hook-and-loop fastener for secure fixation: The band is equipped with a hook-and-loop fastener at one end, ensuring a secure and reliable fixation. The innovative hook-and-loop system features several loop elements attached to the side of the band facing away from the body, approximately 40-60 cm from the end. At the very end of the flossing band, the hook side of the fastener is mounted on the side facing the body and extends 5 cm beyond the elastic band. This facilitates removal of the application, as the protruding hook portion can be easily grasped and detached. 3. Reliable attachment and easy handling: Unlike previous flossing bands, where the end of the band had to be tucked under a previous wrap to secure the application, the firmly attached hook-and-loop fastener prevents the band from slipping or coming loose during use. The hook-and-loop system allows for adaptable fixation to different body areas and ensures that the band does not unintentionally detach, even during movement or stretching. Innovative advantage:

[0003] The key advantage over conventional flossing bands lies in the integrated hook-and-loop fastener with adjustable loop and hook sections, allowing for flexible, secure, and individualized fixation. Depending on the wrapping and body part, the hook section can attach to different points on the loop section, simplifying handling and significantly reducing the risk of the band slipping out. The hook-and-loop fastener at the end of the band extends 5 cm beyond the elastic, enabling easy removal of the application. This securely attached fastener ensures reliable fixation and improves the band's reusability and safety in everyday therapeutic practice.

[0004] Thanks to its simple and secure fastening, the flossing band with hook-and-loop fastener is now risk-free and user-friendly, and can be easily used by professional therapists, athletes, and private individuals at home. It enables precise and secure compression even without prior knowledge, significantly expanding its flexibility and range of applications. Scope:

[0005] The flossing band with Velcro closure is suitable for use in physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and sports. It supports users and therapists in applying targeted pressure to muscles and joints, improving the efficiency of therapy. At the same time, it offers a user-friendly solution for athletes and private individuals who want to benefit from the advantages of flossing even without professional assistance.
