Description

Technical Field

[0001] This work is about a wrist brace, specifically a wrist brace with pressure pads. Prior Technology

[0002] The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), composed of fibrous tissue and cartilage, is an important structure of the wrist. It supports the joint between the radius and ulna of the arm, increasing wrist stability. Specifically, the TFCC maintains wrist joint stability during wrist rotation. In addition, the TFCC also transmits and cushions pressure on the wrist.

[0003] Repeatedly lifting heavy objects, rotating the wrist, or supporting the body with the wrist can lead to overuse of the wrist, easily causing damage to the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) due to repeated adhesion or excessive traction. When TFCC injury occurs, in addition to physical therapy, it is also necessary to reduce the load on the wrist and allow it to rest appropriately. Therefore, patients can wear a wrist brace, which can limit the range of motion of the wrist and provide wrist support.

[0004] The ulnar side of the wrist is a biomechanically and kinetically vulnerable area, yet it lacks muscular support. Therefore, ulnar side pain is more common in wrist problems. However, most wrist braces on the market restrict the upward and downward bending of the wrist, failing to improve ulnar side stability or provide additional support. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes a wrist brace that is worn on the wrist and applies pressure to the ulnar side of the wrist.

[0006] The wristband proposed in this work has the following features: A subject, which has: The first end is one end of the main body; A second end, which is the other end of the main body and is relative to the first end; Two perforations are formed at the second end; Two straps are formed at the first end of the main body; A pressure pad is detachably disposed on the body and located between the first end and the second end; A first fixing member is disposed between the main body and the pressure pad; the pressure pad is detachably disposed on the main body through the first fixing member; When the wristband is worn on the wrist, the main body and the two straps are used to wrap around the wrist. The two straps are respectively threaded through the two holes, and the pressure pad is positioned corresponding to the ulnar side of the wrist.

[0007] The advantage of this design lies in its removable pressure pads. When worn, these pads apply pressure to the ulnar side of the wrist, improving stability and providing additional support. Furthermore, users can replace the pressure pads with different levels of hardness depending on the extent of wrist injury or recovery, allowing the wrist brace to provide support as needed.

[0008] As described above, the wristband has a cushioning portion disposed between the first end and the second end of the main body, and located on opposite sides of the main body along with the pressure pad; when the wristband is worn on the wrist, the cushioning portion faces the wrist.

[0009] As described above, in the wristband, the width of the buffer portion near the first end of the main body is smaller than the width of the buffer portion near the second end of the main body.

[0010] As in the wristband mentioned above, the cushioning part has a porous structure.

[0011] As described above, the wristband has two second fasteners, which are respectively disposed on the two straps; when the wristband is worn on the wrist, the second fasteners are used to prevent the two straps from coming off the two holes.

[0012] As in the wristband mentioned above, the second fastener is Velcro.

[0013] As in the wristband mentioned above, the first fastener is Velcro.

[0014] As mentioned above, the wristband includes: The two straps include a first strap and a second strap, which are disposed adjacent to each other. The two perforations include a first perforation and a second perforation, which are disposed adjacent to each other. When the wristband is worn on the wrist, the first strap and the first perforation are close to the fingertips, the second strap and the second perforation are close to the arm, and the first strap is threaded through the first perforation, the second strap is threaded through the second perforation, and the first strap is parallel to the second strap.

[0015] As mentioned above, the wristband includes: The two straps include a first strap and a second strap, which are disposed adjacent to each other. The two perforations include a first perforation and a second perforation, which are disposed adjacent to each other. When the wristband is worn on the wrist, the first strap and the first perforation are close to the fingertips, the second strap and the second perforation are close to the arm, and the first strap is threaded through the second perforation, the second strap is threaded through the first perforation, and the first strap and the second strap overlap.

Figure 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the use of the cross-binding method in this creation. Implementation

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This invention proposes a wrist brace for wearing on a wrist and applying pressure to the ulnar side of the wrist. The ulnar side of the wrist is the side of the wrist closest to the little finger. The wrist brace has a main body 10, a cushioning part 20, a pressure pad 30, a first fixing member 40, two straps 50, and two second fixing members 60.

[0018] The main body 10 has a first end 11, a second end 12, and two through holes 13. The first end 11 and the second end 12 are opposite ends of the main body 10. The through holes 13 are formed on the second end 12 and are spaced apart from each other. A buffer portion 20 is disposed between the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the main body 10, and the buffer portion 20 has a porous structure to achieve a breathable effect. The width of the buffer portion 20 near the first end 11 is smaller than the width of the buffer portion 20 near the second end 12. When the wristband is worn on the wrist, the portion of the buffer portion 20 near the first end 11 is close to the back of the hand, and the portion of the buffer portion 20 near the second end 12 is close to the palm. A first fixing member 40 is disposed between the main body 10 and the pressure pad 30, and the pressure pad 30 is detachably disposed on the main body 10 through the first fixing member 40. In the first embodiment, the pressure pad 30 and the buffer portion 20 are located on opposite sides of the main body and are corresponding to each other in position. Specifically, the cushioning portion 20 is located on the side of the main body closer to the wrist, and the pressure pad 30 is located on the side of the main body farther from the wrist. In other embodiments, the wristband may not have the cushioning portion 20, and the side of the main body 10 closest to the wrist directly contacts the skin of the wrist. In this embodiment, the first fastener 40 is Velcro, but it is not limited to this.

[0019] A strap 50 is formed at the first end 11 of the main body 10, and a second fastener 60 is respectively disposed on the two straps 50. When the wrist brace is worn on the wrist, the main body 10 and the straps 50 are used to wrap around the wrist, and the two straps 50 are respectively passed through the two perforations 13, with the pressure pad 30 positioned corresponding to the ulnar side of the wrist. In other words, through the main body 10 and the straps 50 wrapping around the wrist, the pressure pad 30 can apply pressure to the ulnar side of the wrist. When the wrist brace is worn on the wrist, the second fastener 60 is used to prevent the straps 50 from coming off the perforations 13. In this embodiment, the second fastener 60 is Velcro, but it is not limited to this.

[0020] The two straps 50 include a first strap 51 and a second strap 52, which are arranged adjacent to each other. The two perforations 13 include a first perforation 131 and a second perforation 132, which are arranged adjacent to each other. When the wristband is worn on the wrist, the first strap 51 and the first perforation 131 are close to the fingertips, and the second strap 52 and the second perforation 132 are close to the arm.

[0021] The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that the pressure pad 30 is detachably disposed on the buffer portion 20 on the main body 10. Specifically, the pressure pad 30 can be directly disposed on the buffer portion 20 through the first fastener 40, and the buffer portion 20 is located between the main body 10 and the pressure pad 30.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 2, 5, and 6. When the wristband is worn on the wrist, the strap 50 can be tied in two ways: parallel and cross-strap. As shown in Figure 3, when the strap 50 is tied in parallel, the first strap 51 is threaded through the first perforation 131, and the second strap 52 is threaded through the second perforation 132, so that the first strap 51 is parallel to the second strap 52. As shown in Figure 4, when the strap 50 is tied in cross-strap, the first strap 51 is threaded through the second perforation 132, and the second strap 52 is threaded through the first perforation 131, so that the first strap 51 and the second strap 52 overlap. The overlapping position of the first strap 51 and the second strap 52 corresponds to the pressure pad 30, thereby assisting the pressure pad 30 in applying pressure to the ulnar side of the wrist.

[0023] The advantage of this invention lies in the removable pressure pad 30. When the wristband is worn, the pressure pad 30 applies pressure to the ulnar side of the wrist, thereby improving the stability of the ulnar side and providing additional support. Furthermore, the user can replace the pressure pad 30 with one of different hardness depending on the degree of wrist injury or recovery, allowing the wristband to provide wrist support according to actual needs.
