Articulating External Fixation Device
US Patent:
5391167, Feb 21, 1995
Filed:
Sep 1, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/938621
Inventors:
Henry Pong - West Palm Beach FL
Thomas J. McCauley - West Palm Beach FL
Thomas J. McCauley - West Palm Beach FL
Assignee:
Ortho-Motion, Inc. - Coral Springs FL
International Classification:
A61B 1760
US Classification:
606 57
Abstract:
An external fixation device that allows passive or active flexion/extension range of motion of the proximal interphalangeal joint. The fixation device assures maintenance of congruent proximal interphalangeal joint throughout the flexion/extension arc. The device attaches to orthopedically placed pins in the proximal phalanx and middle phalanx. Components placed between the pins include an adjustable hinge support that is centered over the axis of the joint for articulation of a hinge member. The hinge member allows distraction and/or compression along a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the hinge member. In addition, the device provides for dorsal/volar adjustability by use of alignment pins and an adjustment bolt placed perpendicular to the distraction/compression mechanism. The result is a fully adjustable external fixation device that allows 110 degrees of passive and active motion further allowing for the transient realignment of the subluxed joint providing joint congruency.
Repellant Tubular Cast For Immobiling A Body Part
US Patent:
5833637, Nov 10, 1998
Filed:
Nov 27, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/757433
Inventors:
Henry Pong - West Palm Beach FL
Assignee:
Biofab, Inc. - West Palm Beach FL
International Classification:
A61F 500
US Classification:
602 5
Abstract:
A cast is disclosed comprising a membrane, padding and immobilizing material. The membrane repels water but allows oxygen and vapor to pass outwardly from the skin. The padding is disposed between the membrane and immobilizing material. The membrane prevents the wet padding from direct contact with the wearer's skin.
