Anatomically engineered configured article

摘要

An engineered designed article providing multi-directional support. Portions of three or more overlapping, circular-like bodies are integrated on a flexible planar membrane into products, such as bandages, headgear, tool handles, lumbar pillows, backpacks, cervical supports, and back supports, to offer a multi-directional, (360° quadrant) support or pressure-concentrating area, to enhance specific support at the medial, lateral, inferior and/or superior part of a body part. The article can be made of material that is waterproof, acts as a shock absorber, and provides multi-directional support. Medicaments can be infused into the pressure-concentrating area of the support or into the membrane itself. An aperture for accepting IV needles is also provided.

1. In an engineered designed article for pressure support that is anatomically configured to fit, support and protect a body part, the improvement comprising: portions of at least three integrated, combined elements shaped as portions of circles to form positive or negative pressure-concentrating means on at least one predetermined area of said body part, said portions of at least three integrated, combined elements shaped as portions of circles providing enhanced 360° quadrant to support at least one location; and a plurality of caps or holes extending through a central portion of said pressure-concentrating means for permitting intravenous tubing, medicaments and release of exudates therethrough.
