Abstract
An anchoring system for supporting an arm in a cast including Velcro™ formations on an elongated strap that depends around the neck of the wearer, the formations adjustably interact to support the arm at the appropriate level. Other components having Velcro™ formations can interact with the strap. The strap has releasable buckles or snaps along its length.
Claims19
An anchoring system for supporting a cast about an arm relative to the human torso comprising:
- an elongated strap material having first hook formations located along the length of the strap, the elongated strap depending around one or both of the shoulders or the neck of a wearer;
- and
- one or more second hook formations for mating with the first hook formations on the strap and being connectable in a releasable manner with the first hook formations, the second hook formations being located around the arm of the wearer thereby to support the arm at the appropriate level relative to the torso of the wearer.
An anchoring system for supporting an arm relative to the human torso comprising:
- an elongated strap material having one or more first hook formations for depending around one or both of the shoulders or the neck of a wearer;
- one or more second hook formations for mating with the first hook formations to secure the strap about the shoulders or the neck of the wearer, hook formations being located around the arm of the wearer to be
- connected with the strap thereby to support the arm at the appropriate level relative to the torso of the wearer;
- and
- wherein the hook formations include a set of Velcro™ hook formations, on the strap for securing the arm at an adjustable level.
An anchoring system for supporting a cast about an arm relative to the human torso comprising:
- an elongated strap material for depending around one or both of the shoulders or the neck of a wearer, the strap having opposite surfaces;
- Velcro™ formations along one or both of the opposite surfaces, the formations not being around the portion of the strap about the neck or shoulders;
- and
- an end of the strap being located about a cast and being connected with the Velcro™ hook formations thereby to secure the cast, and the location of the Velcro™ formation connection being variably determined along the length of the strap such that the location of support of the arm relative to the torso is variable.
An anchoring system for supporting a cast about an arm relative to the human torso comprising:
- an elongated strap material for depending around one or both of the shoulders or the neck of a wearer, the strap having opposite surfaces;
- one or more releasable buckle formations to separate or connect portions of the strap to form the elongated length for securing around the neck or shoulders;
- Velcro™ formations along the front surface of the strap;
- a separate band having Velcro™ hook or loop formations for connection with the Velcro™ hook or loop formations on the front surface;
- and
- the separate band of Velcro™ hook or loop formations forming a closable cuff about the cast, and the location of the Velcro™ formations extending for a predetermined length along the front surface of the strap such that the location of cuff support with inter-engaging Velcro™ hook or loop formations is variably locatable with the front surface and the arm is thereby is variably locatable relative to the torso.
