Description
PROTECTIVE DEVICE AND PROTECTIVE DEVICE KIT
The invention relates to a protective device.
The invention further relates to a protective kit.
Typical problems relating with known protective devices are that they usually do not protect the object to be pro- tected, i.e. a part of the body, in a versatile manner.
For instance, they may leave the object exposed to the el- ements, especially to moisture and water. On the other hand, known protective devices may not serve optimally with drugs, skin care products etc. applied on the object.
Viewed from a first aspect, there can be provided a pro- tective device, comprising - a support plate, - a piece of fabric, wherein - the support plate is malleable into a protective shape, the support plate having a supporting surface to be ar- ranged towards an object to be supported and an opposite distal surface, wherein - the supporting surface of the support plate is adhered to a receiving zone of the piece of fabric, such that
N 25 - the distal surface of the support plate constitutes a
N part of the distal surface of the device, and
S - the piece of fabric is larger than the support plate,
S providing thus an attachment zone for fastening the pro- = tective device, wherein * 30 - the protective device comprises a waterproof layer for s providing a moisture barrier to the object to be support- = ed.
N
Thereby a protective device that is quick and easy to use, protects the object and the device itself against getting wet and protects also drugs, skin care products etc. may be achieved.
Viewed from a further aspect, there can be provided a pro- tective kit, comprising the protective device as defined above, and - an instruction document including instructions for - shaping of the support plate into the protective shape, - fastening the supporting surface of the support plate to piece of fabric, - arranging the supporting surface on its supporting posi- tion on the object, and -— winding the piece of fabric around the object.
Thereby a protective kit that is quick and easy to use, protects the object against getting wet and protects also drugs, skin care products etc. may be achieved.
The arrangement and the kit are characterised by what is stated in the independent claims. Some other embodiments are characterised by what is stated in the other claims.
Inventive embodiments are also disclosed in the specifica- tion and drawings of this patent application. The in- ventive content of the patent application may also be de-
N fined in other ways than defined in the following claims. > The inventive content may also be formed of several sepa-
P rate inventions, especially if the invention is examined
N 30 in the light of expressed or implicit sub-tasks or in view
E of obtained benefits or benefit groups. Some of the defi-
LO nitions contained in the following claims may then be un- = necessary in view of the separate inventive ideas. Fea-
N tures of the different embodiments of the invention may,
N 35 within the scope of the basic inventive idea, be applied to other embodiments in combination or instead thereof.
In one embodiment, the support plate is made of a composi- tion comprising thermoplastic polymer and wood particles in form of granules, plates and/or fibers.
An advantage 1s that the material is easy to work with and has a relatively light weight while maintaining the neces- sary support, e.g. an orthopaedic support. A further ad- vantage is that the material may provide a high breath- ability that promotes healing of wounds and reduces irri- tation of skin under the support plate. A still further advantage is that the material may be reheated and re- shaped, and thus wastage of the material may be reduced.
In one embodiment, the piece of fabric is made of material comprising thermoplastics, preferably of 100 % polyester.
An advantage is that a light, breathable and non-wetting piece of fabric may be achieved.
In one embodiment, the piece of fabric has a self- attaching surface structure having ability to fasten with itself as such.

> In one embodiment, the self-attaching surface structure of
P the piece of fabric comprises a fibre loop bundle fabric.
N 30
E An advantage is that an elastic and soft self-attaching 0 surface structure may be achieved.
Lo
N In one embodiment, the piece of fabric has ability to fas-
N 35 ten with itself in a normal temperature, such as in tem- perature of 20 °C -— 25 °C.
An advantage is that the protective device is easy to use at normal room temperatures without need for heating the fabric.
In one embodiment, the protective device comprises an ex- posing element arranged for exposing a premature removal of the protective device.
An advantage is that a wrong use of the device taking place either intentionally or unintentionally may be easi- ly observed.
In one embodiment, the protective device comprises a fur- ther material layer, such as a layer of fabric, fastened to the receiving zone of the piece of fabric, either on same side with or opposite side thereof in relation to the support plate.
An advantage is that a padding between the support plate and the object to be supported may be added, and thus chafing of skin under the support plate lessened. In em- bodiments where the support plate is heated in a raised temperature and the shaped against the object, an addi- tional heat insulation may be created between the heated _ support plate and tissue of the object.
S
> In one embodiment, the waterproof layer is arranged in the
P piece of fabric.
N 30
E An advantage is that waterproofness may be provided in a 0 simple and easy way.
Lo
N In one embodiment, the waterproof layer is an additional
N 35 material layer attached on the surface of the piece of fabric.
An advantage is that a layered structure may provide an optimal functionality and waterproofness. 5 In one embodiment, the piece of fabric is waterproof as such.
An advantage is that a simple structure of the piece of fabric may be provided.
In one embodiment, the waterproof layer is arranged in a tubular structure separate from the support plate and the piece of fabric, said tubular structure having dimensions to be arrangeable around the object to be supported and the support plate and the piece of fabric arranged on said object, and at least one of the tubular structure, the support plate and the piece of fabric is provided with a restraining element for adding friction of the support plate and/or the piece of fabric against the tubular structure for restraining their mutual movement.
An advantage is that it is possible to introduce the wa- terproof layer on demand and omit when the waterproof lay- er is not needed, and that the tubular structure also pro- tects the support plate and the piece of fabric against _ wearing and contamination.
S
> In one embodiment, the tubular structure has an open end <? and a closed end.
N 30
E An advantage is that the closed end may provide further
LO protection and keep the tubular structure in a correct po- = sition in relation to the support plate and the piece of
N fabric.
N 35
In one embodiment, the tubular structure comprises a tightening structure for tightening the tubular structure.
An advantage is that keeping the tubular structure in a correct position in relation to the support plate and the piece of fabric may be assisted and waterproofness may be increased.
In one embodiment, the support plate and the piece of fab- ric of the kit are specifically shaped and sized for sup- porting an indication selected from the following indica- tions or body part: humerus, wrist, thumb, elbow, knee, ankle, metatarsal fracture, metacarpal fracture, finger, phalanx, forearm, upper arm, neck, spine.
An advantage is that an optimal support of the object may be created quickly, since the operator needs not to cut the support plate and the piece of fabric into the re- quired shape.

In this disclosure, the term "protective device” covers devices used in protection of human and/or animal body parts. According to an aspect, the protective device may be a device used in orthopaedic surgery for e.g. preven-
N tion and treatment of disorders of the bones, joints, lig-
N aments, tendons and muscles. According to another aspect,
S the protective device may be a protective equipment, e.g.
N a brace and/or a support used in e.g. sports for providing = 30 protection, compression, support and/or joint stability. so According to a still another aspect, the protective device
N may be an equipment used in skin care and/or wound care 5 applications for protecting skin or wound.
N
The protective device may provide physical support, pro- tection against external loads or the elements; it also may protect drugs, skin care products etc. applied on the object.
The protective device 100 comprises a support plate 1 and a piece of fabric 2. The support plate 1 can be shaped in a three-dimensional shape that gives a desired orthopaedi- cal support to an object to be supported. The “object” may be any part of the body of a human being or an animal.
The support plate 1 has two surfaces or sides: a support- ing surface 3 to be arranged towards the object to be sup- ported and an opposite distal surface 4.
In one embodiment, the piece of fabric 2 has a self- attaching surface structure 5. This has an ability to fas- ten with itself as such.
In one embodiment, all the surface area of the piece of fabric contains the self-attaching surface structure 5.
In one embodiment, there are some area(s) or section(s) in the piece of fabric 2 that do not have the self-attaching surface structure 5, or in other words: only part of the surfaces of the piece of fabric 2 comprises the self- attaching surface structure 5.
N In one embodiment, the whole piece of fabric 2 is without > the self-attaching surface structure 5. Then, the protec- <Q tive device 100 is secured on the object by e.g. using ad-
J 30 ditional attachment substances or means, such as an adhe-
E sive, tape or staples, and/or by tying/knotting the piece 0 of fabric.
Lo
N The protective device 100 is constructed by attaching the
N 35 supporting surface 3 of the support plate to a receiving zone 6 of the piece of fabric.
In one embodiment, the support plate 1 is attached by us- ing an additional attachment substance, such as adhesive, and/or an additional attachment means, such as staples.
In one embodiment, the support plate 1 is attached to the piece of fabric 2 without any additional attachment sub- stance or additional attachment means. For instance, mate- rial of the support plate 1 may turn into a tacky state when warmed up and attach to the piece of fabric 2.
The receiving zone 6 is a part of the piece of fabric 2 in which the support plate 1 should be attached for realizing a useful or optimal protective device 100. The receiving zone 6 may comprise the self-attaching surface structure 5, but it is not necessary.
The protective device comprises a waterproof layer 16 that provides a moisture barrier to the object to be supported.
