Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthotics, specifically to a hallux valgus corrector. Background Technology
[0002] A hallux valgus orthosis is a device used to correct hallux valgus, a common foot deformity caused by genetic factors and prolonged wearing of ill-fitting shoes. Besides affecting appearance, it can cause pain and walking difficulties. The orthosis is specifically designed to work, often made of soft and elastic materials that closely conform to the foot's contours, providing appropriate pressure and support for the toes. During daily use, it gradually adjusts the position of the toes, correcting bone alignment and reducing pressure on the joints caused by hallux valgus. Hallux valgus orthoses offer significant advantages; this non-invasive correction method avoids the risks and pain of surgery and is suitable for patients with varying degrees of hallux valgus, especially those with milder symptoms in the early stages.
[0003] During the process of correcting toes using a bunion corrector, the toes that need to be corrected will rub against the adjacent toes due to the toe straps. Although most toe straps are made of cotton, prolonged contact can still lead to injury. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a hallux valgus corrector, including a corrector body, a control knob installed inside the corrector body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the surface of the corrector body, a fixing post fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate, a sleeve sleeved inside the fixing post, a corrector plate fixedly connected to the surface of the sleeve, a side ear fixedly connected to the surface of the corrector plate, a toe strap sleeved inside the side ear, an elastic band fixedly connected to the bottom of the toe strap, a finger sleeve fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic band, a Velcro piercing surface fixedly connected to the surface of the toe strap, and a Velcro adhesive surface fixedly connected to the surface of the toe strap.
[0005] The above technical solution involves setting a finger sleeve, placing the big toe between the orthosis plate and the toe strap, so that the orthosis plate contacts the side of the toe. Then, pulling the toe strap brings the hook and loop fastener into contact with the hook and loop adhesive surface, thus fixing the toe in place. After fixing, the finger sleeve is used to pull the elastic band to slip the finger sleeve onto the surface of the toe fixed by the orthosis plate, thus protecting the toe that needs to be corrected and the nearby toe, and preventing abrasions on the surface of the nearby toe during the correction process.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above solution, two side ears are provided, and the two side ears are evenly distributed on both ends of the surface with the top center of the correction plate symmetrically arranged.
[0007] With the above technical solution, there are two side ears, which are symmetrically and evenly distributed on both ends of the surface with the top center of the correction plate. This symmetrical distribution helps to make the fixation of the toe straps more balanced, thereby providing more stable tension when correcting bunions and ensuring the uniformity of the correction effect.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the elastic band is positioned at one end near the hook and loop fastener.
[0009] With the above technical solution, the elastic band is positioned at the end near the hook and loop fastener. This layout allows the elastic band to work in conjunction with the hook and loop fastener when using the toe strap, making it easy to adjust the tightness of the toe strap according to the user's foot shape and correction needs, thereby improving the comfort and effectiveness of the correction.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the hook and loop fastener and the hook and loop adhesive surface are located on the same plane as the toe strap.
[0011] With the above technical solution, the hook and loop fasteners are located on the same plane as the toe strap, which makes the toe strap fit better when fixed and less likely to loosen or lift up, thus ensuring the fixation effect of the toe strap on the big toe during the correction process.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, an ankle fixation plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the orthotic body, an ankle strap is fixedly connected to the surface of the ankle fixation plate, a limit hole is opened on the surface of the ankle fixation plate, and protective cotton is fixedly connected to the surface of the ankle fixation plate.
[0013] The above technical solution involves setting an ankle fixation plate, which contacts the side of the foot, and then fixing the ankle fixation plate with an ankle strap. This ensures that the position of the orthosis is limited during use, thus guaranteeing overall stability.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, two limiting holes are provided, and the two limiting holes are evenly distributed on the surface with respect to the top center of the ankle fixing plate.
[0015] With the above technical solution, the two limiting holes are symmetrically and evenly distributed on the surface with respect to the top center of the ankle fixation plate. This symmetrical distribution makes the fixation of the ankle strap more balanced, which can better adapt to users with different ankle sizes and improve the stability of the orthosis for ankle fixation.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, one end of the ankle strap passes through the limiting hole, and the protective cotton is located between the ankle strap and the ankle fixation plate.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This invention uses a finger sleeve to place the big toe between the correction plate and the toe strap, allowing the correction plate to contact the side of the toe. Then, the toe strap is pulled to bring the hook and loop fastener into contact with the adhesive side, thus fixing the toe in place. Once fixed, the finger sleeve is used to pull the elastic band to slip the finger sleeve onto the surface of the toe fixed by the correction plate, protecting the toe that needs correction and the adjacent toe, and preventing abrasions on the surface of the adjacent toe during the toe correction process.
[0019] This invention features an ankle fixation plate that contacts the side of the foot and is secured by an ankle strap, ensuring that the position of the orthosis is limited during use and guaranteeing overall stability. Attached Figure Description
