What is rib fixation strap
Jul 25,2023


Valgus ribs are common in daily life. Rib eversion refers to the lower edge of the ribs extending beyond the outer edge of the body. Rib eversion is caused by the two ribs below the sternum not being connected to the sternum, and is particularly noticeable during large abdominal movements such as inhalation or exhalation. Rib valgus is mostly caused by calcium deficiency in childhood, and can also be seen in Rickets. When calcium deficiency occurs, it can lead to incomplete mineralization of calcium in the rib area, which can easily lead to a series of pathological changes such as rib beading, rib valgus, thoracic deformities, and chicken breasts. So to correct rib valgus, the key is to supplement calcium early and eat high calcium foods to prevent abnormal bone metabolism. Rib fixation straps are suitable for the fixation of chest rib injuries such as rib injuries and fractures, chest soft tissue strains, contusions, and fracture healing. They are made of composite fabric or leather and elastic bands, with good breathability and strong applicability. According to the human body design, there are adhesive buttons on the edges, which can be adjusted according to the size of the chest circumference to fix the chest ribs. Rib band is the most commonly used physical therapy method for rib injuries. Patients using rib straps need to attach the rib strap tightly to the armpit and chest wall of the injured area according to their own situation, and then tighten and wrap it around the chest. During this process, the patient should be asked if there are any symptoms such as chest tightness, and the tightness should be adjusted. Finally, the waist belt on the back of the rib strap should be tightened to prevent slipping and other situations.

The correct use of rib straps mainly depends on the patient's physical condition, by fixing the rib strap at the location of rib injury. During the use of rib straps, patients need to pay attention to the tightness and duration of use, and consult a doctor to understand the specific situation. During use, it is important to pay attention to the tightness of the rib fixation strap to avoid over tightening, which may cause the fracture to be misaligned again. Over loosening may affect the effectiveness of the rib fixation strap. At the same time, it is important to note that the wearing time is generally 4-6 weeks. If the effect is poor, it is recommended to treat it through other methods to avoid inducing other diseases.

  • What is spinal corrector？

  • A: Spinal orthosis is a medical device used to correct spinal deformities such as scoliosis, and is commonly used to treat conditions such as scoliosis, spina bifida, and congenital spinal deformities. Spinal correctors are a physical treatment method that can slowly restore limbs to their normal state and improve the unattractive condition caused by spinal deformities during wearing. Spinal deformities or scoliosis can both cause unsightly appearance, leading to hunching and abnormal posture, which directly affects height growth and development. The use of correctors can achieve auxiliary improvement effects. If teenagers have poor daily posture and frequently bend and hunch, it may cause spinal deformation and affect height development. During adolescence, spinal braces can have appropriate effects and adjustments on bones and muscles, promoting normal bone growth and helping this population achieve better height development. If the patient has severe spinal deformities or degenerative diseases, surgical treatment should be considered. Due to severe scoliosis or severe osteoporosis leading to vertebral compression fractures, the use of spinal braces cannot effectively correct spinal morphology and may even increase the risk of spinal cord compression. When choosing to use spinal braces, it is important to ensure that they are suitable for the patient's condition and worn correctly under the guidance of a professional physician. In addition, regular follow-up to monitor the efficacy and side effects is also necessary. Xiamen Huakang Orthopedic CO LTD is a professional manufacturer of orthopedic braces and supports in China .

  • Orthopedic braces for Children

  • A: At present, the market for rehabilitation and orthopedic fixed devices in China is developing rapidly. With the aging population and the increasing number of chronic disease patients, the demand for rehabilitation and orthopedic equipment is constantly increasing. Meanwhile, the advancement of medical technology and the improvement of medical security systems have also brought enormous market potential to the rehabilitation assistive device industry.  Children's orthopedic braces, including children's foot rest, foot correction strap, foot orthosis, children's knee fixator, children's neck rest, children's arm sling, etc. Today we will mainly talk about children's foot fixators, which are suitable for fixing ankle fractures, tibiofibular fractures, and pain caused by ankle and foot strain. This type of brace is used for preventing foot sagging and Achilles tendon contracture in patients with Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, pain caused by ankle and foot strain, and bedridden patients. This brace is suitable for the fixation and treatment of ankle fractures, tibiofibular fractures, and ankle ligament injuries. It is particularly suitable for patients with stable ankle fractures that do not require surgery, or for early weight-bearing in patients with limited ankle movement after surgery. The rocking chair shaped toe and heel design reduces the movement of foot joints and increases the driving force during walking with the anti bending sole. After internal fixation with steel plates and other stable surgical treatments for ankle and calf fractures, this product can be used as an auxiliary external fixation.

  • What is Hip orthotic fixator

  • A: Hip orthotic fixator is a medical device that can be worn externally. The purpose of its design is to stabilize, control, or correct affected body parts. Orthopedic fixators are decided by doctors after diagnosis, and doctors usually consult with prosthetic professionals to choose the appropriate instrument. They will choose the type of hip orthotic fixator based on your diagnosis and actual symptoms. The hip abduction orthopedic fixator has an abduction pad that can restrict certain modes of movement and increase stability when walking, standing, or sitting. If the hip orthopedic fixator cannot solve your stability problem, you may need to wear a hip knee orthopedic fixator or a hip knee ankle foot orthopedic fixator (HKAFO). Hip protectors have lower limitations than hip orthotic fixators. They are made of high elasticity or semi elasticity materials. But they still have a stabilizing effect because they compress the hip joint and slightly restrict it. Hip protectors are commonly used to reduce joint pressure, which can alleviate existing discomfort and serve as a preventive measure. Hip orthotic fixators are mainly used to treat acute pain or discomfort, or to treat hip dislocation. Hip abduction orthodontic fixators are commonly used for infantile cerebral palsy (ICP). This disease can affect the nervous and muscular systems of the body, often accompanied by spasmodic contractions, causing the patient to cross their legs ("scissor gait"). The abduction pad in the hip orthopedic fixator can prevent the user from crossing the knee joint and provide stability to the patient during standing and sitting, while also stabilizing the gait pattern. Hip orthotic fixators are also beneficial for patients who use wheelchairs temporarily or for a long time. The integrated pad can expand the seating contact surface without the need for a separate abductor. Special orthopedic fixators and protectors can help infants with hip dysplasia, acetabular malformations, or developmental disorders. And these diseases mainly occur because the baby lacks space in the uterus or is in an unsuitable position. However, developmental dysplasia of the hip joint can be treated. Hip orthotic fixators can align joints in their normal positions, allowing them to develop and mature normally.

  • Ankle external fixation braces for foot injury or sprain

  • A: Ankle sprain is the most common sports injury disease, and many types of injuries can occur after sprain, including ligament injury or rupture, fracture and dislocation, joint cartilage injury, tendon injury or rupture, etc. If there is minor ligament damage, conservative ankle external fixation  braces or plaster support can be used for treatment. Ankle joint fixation braces can inhibit tendon injuries and promote the recovery of fracture injuries. Ankle joint rehabilitation splints usually have a local fixation effect, which can reduce the pressure on ligaments and promote the recovery of ligament injuries. At the same time, it can promote the growth of injured bones, prevent dislocation of fractures, and thus shorten the recovery time of fractures. The function of ankle foot supports and braces includes stabilizing the ankle joint, controlling the range of motion, and reducing pain, swelling, etc. 1. Stable ankle joint Compression Wraptor Ankle braces provide additional stability by wrapping and compressing the ankle joint, reducing the risk of ankle sprains and lateral ligament injuries. 2. Control the range of motion Ankle braces can limit the range of motion of the ankle joint, preventing excessive forward and backward swinging and lateral rotation. 3. Reduce pain and swelling Ankle braces, through appropriate compression and local pressure dispersion, help alleviate pain and swelling in the ankle joint. In summary, the main function of ankle fracture braces is to provide appropriate fixation and immobilization treatment for the damaged ankle joint, in order to avoid adverse consequences such as displacement of the fracture end. Wearing foot braces for protection can reduce swelling of the affected limb, prevent secondary injuries caused by movement, and promote wound recovery. In clinical applications, braces are generally used in ankle fractures where there is no displacement or the fracture segment is relatively stable. Ankle Fixed braking treatment can also be performed in the early stage after surgical treatment. When wearing braces, attention should be paid to the tightness to avoid being too tight or too loose. At the same time, during fixation, the affected limb should be kept at an appropriate height to promote blood circulation and lymphatic return. Patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner, receive targeted treatment and treatment, and wear braces according to medical advice. If itching occurs during use, it is necessary to observe for sterile inflammation.More infomation about orthopedic braces, you can enter https://www.huakangortho.com/.
