International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A hand brace having dorsal and palmer hand sections integral one with the other along a distal side of the brace, those sections being connected along a proximal side of the brace only by a web defining a finger hole through which all a user's fingers extend so that the web lies between a user's thumb and forefinger. A thumb strap integral with the palmer section connects with the dorsal section when the brace is being worn and is wrapable behind the user's thumb to provide adjustable compression over the hand's thenar eminence to aid in remediation of the DeQuerveins condition Dorsal and palmar wrist sections integral with the brace's respective dorsal and palmar hand sections, are integral one with the other along the brace's distal side. A wrist strap integral with the dorsal wrist section is of a length so that the wrist strap overlies the palmar side of a user's wrist but so that it does not extend substantially onto the dorsal side of a user's wrist. Preferably the wrist strap is of a width sufficient to connect with the brace's palmar hand section, the wrist strap thereby cooperating with and overlying the palmar side of a user's wrist and a portion of the palmar side of a user's hand to aid in limiting hand extension and flexion, as well as hand ulnar and radial deviation, to control or reduce cumulative trauma to the wrist from carpal tunnel syndrome.

Abstract:

A urinal bottle having a unique head that includes a deformable bellows which defines the mouth. The head also includes two finger stalls located on its rear face that cooperate with the bottle's handle. In use, and in response to manual pressure drawing the head section against a female user's vaginal area when the bottle is positioned between the user's legs, the bellows aids in positioning the mouth against and around the vaginal area for minimizing leakage when the user urinates into the bottle as she lies in a prone position. The finger stalls cooperate with the bottle's handle, one of the female user's hands holding the bottle by the handle and the other of the user's hands making use of the finger stalls, in order to draw the bottle's head against her vaginal area.
