Anatomical brace with rapid-release securement members

摘要

An exteriorly positionable anatomical brace for protecting a uniting pivoting joint disposed between a first limb structure and a second limb structure of a living being. The brace includes a first cuff partially encompassable about the first limb structure and a second cuff partially encompassable about the second limb structure with each cuff being a generally U-shape structure with two lateral arms. A respective quick-release cuff retainer secures each cuff on each limb, and includes opposing first and second limb wraps for positioning around the limb. At least one limb wrap has a proximal portion provided with at least one externally accessible releasable connector for attaching the limb wrap to the respective lateral arm, while both limb wraps have distal portions interfacedly connected with each other with a tightenable interfacing retainer member. A pivotable brace joint member connects the first and second cuffs and is situated adjacent the pivoting joint to be stabilized.
