Abstract

Device for preventing ligament traumas of the metacarpo-phalangeal articulation of the thumb and for allowing an early resumption of sports or manual activity. It consists of a strip of thermoformable trans-polyisoprene which surrounds and secures the metacarpo-phalangeal articulation of the thumb (1), (2). Once stiffened, the orthesis is fastened to the hand by means of an adhesive elastic retention bandage. The device according to the invention is intended for the articular traumas associated with sports or manual activities which are subject to this type of trauma.

Description

La présente invention concerne une orthèse thermoformable pour l'articulation métacarpophaiangienne du-- pouce, réalisable par l'utilisateur et permettant la pratique sportive ou une activité manuelle. The present invention relates to a thermoformable orthosis for the metacarpophaiangeal joint of the thumb, which can be produced by the user and which allows sports or manual activity.

L'articulation métacarpophalangienne du pouce est une articulation fréquemment exposée au traumatisme, entraînant alors une gêne fonctionnelle plus ou moins importante pouvant, gêner, limiter, voir empêcher une pratique sportive qui demanderait dextérité et force avec un appareil. Exemple : ballon, raquette. The metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb is a joint frequently exposed to trauma, resulting in more or less significant functional discomfort which can, hinder, limit, or even prevent a sport which would require dexterity and strength with a device. Example: ball, racket.

Ce système, selon l'invention, permet à la fois une prévention des traumatismes ligamentaires de l'articulation métacarp ophalangienne du pouce, et une reprise précoce indolore par une contention semirigide. This system, according to the invention, allows both a prevention of ligament trauma to the metacarp ophalangeal joint of the thumb, and an early painless recovery by a semirigid compression.

Le matériau utilisé est une feuille de transpolyisopréne dont la forme est initialement un parallélépipède et dont les dimensions standard sont
L : 15 cm, 1 : 4 cm, épaisseur : 1,6 à 1,8 mm.The material used is a transpolyisoprene sheet whose shape is initially a parallelepiped and whose standard dimensions are
L: 15 cm, 1: 4 cm, thickness: 1.6 to 1.8 mm.

Le transpolyisopréne est un matériau anallergisant qui devient facilement maléable à une température de 550CI La plaquette est facilement portée à cette température par immersion dans liteau trés chaude ou par. exposition à l'air chaud ( sèche cheveux ) ou tout autre rayonnement infrarouge ( four ou lampe ). Transpolyisoprene is an hypoallergenic material which becomes easily malleable at a temperature of 550CI. The wafer is easily brought to this temperature by immersion in a very hot strip or by. exposure to hot air (hair dryer) or any other infrared radiation (oven or lamp).

La plaquette va entourer l'articulation métacarp ophalangienne en débordant largement sur le ler Métacarpien et la 1ère phalange, et venir s'appliquer sur la région carpométacarpienne de la face postérieure ou dorsale de la main. The plate will surround the metacarp ophalangeal joint, extending widely over the 1st Metacarpal and the 1st phalanx, and come to apply on the carpometacarpal region of the posterior or dorsal side of the hand.

Les dessins illustrent l'invention:
La figure 1 représente la main en position idéale de pose de l'orthèse
Les figures 2, 3 et 4 montrent le déroulement de la pose
Une fois l'orthèse appliquée, placer la main sous l'eau froide pour rigidifier ltorthèse. The drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows the hand in the ideal position for fitting the orthosis
Figures 2, 3 and 4 show the installation sequence
Once the orthosis is applied, place your hand under cold water to stiffen the orthosis.

Ce produit obtenu est mobile et réutilisable. Il pourra être posé et déposé très rapidement ; il sera solidarisé à la main par'une bande de contention élastique collante. This product obtained is mobile and reusable. It can be installed and deposited very quickly; it will be joined by hand by a sticky elastic compression band.

Ce dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à protéger l'articulation métacarpophalangienne du pouce des traumatismes occasionnés par la pratique de sports de balle ou autres activités manuelles.  This device according to the invention is particularly intended to protect the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb from trauma caused by the practice of ball sports or other manual activities.
