Orthopedic back braces are intended to limit the motion of the spine in cases of fracture or in post-operative fusions. Limiting the motion of the spine enhances the healing process and minimizes the patient's discomfort.
Orthopedic cannulated screws are ideal for odontoid screw fixation and atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation. It is designed specifically to maintain a mechanical environment conducive to healing in weight earning applications.
An Orthopedic device is designed and configured to provide ambulatory traction to specific levels of the spine of a human wherein an inflatable bladder is affixed between a rigid base plate and an apertured template plate so as to extend outwardly therefrom to engage the back portion of a patient and provide predetermined specifically directed pressure to predetermined portions of the spine. The traction apparatus which includes the bladder, template plate and base plate are removably mounted to a belt having both a latex portion causing expandable support when placed in surrounding relation to the patient as well as brace strapping which is relatively unyieldable so as to maintain the expandable, inflatable bladder at a given position relative to a preselected portion of the spine.
Orthopedic forceps are used on patients with nasal bones that are broad and thickened by callus as a result of nasal fractures or distorted growth. These forceps can be used before lateral osteotomies. These are very sturdy cutting tools generally made of
