摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a Velcro(RTM: Hook and loop fastener) type fixation unit (3) e.g. button, fixed on an inner face of a flap (1) and a Velcro(RTM: Hook and loop fastener) type complementary fixation unit (4) e.g. buttonhole, fixed on an outer face of a flap (2) of a medical device. A magnet (5) is fixed at an end of the flap (1), and a metallic element (6) is fixed to the flap (2). The magnet and the element cooperate together to maintain a free end of one flap against the other flap when the medical device is closed, irrespective of locking adjustment of the medical device. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for closing a medical device e.g. abdominal belt or orthosis (all claimed) such as knee support and anklet, which supports or protects a human body part. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The fixation units permit to adjust the locking of the medical device in a simple manner. The arrangement of the magnet and the metallic element improves the aesthetic appearance of the closing device. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective schematic view of flaps of a belt carrying a closing device. 1, 2 : Flaps 3 : Fixation unit 4 : Complementary fixation unit 5 : Magnet 6 : Metallic element.
