Definitions

  • the invention relates to orthopedic articles with the capacity to generate heat by integrating heating elements powered by a battery.
  • the object of the invention consists in the use of electrothermal tissues made or integrated in an orthotic or orthopedic product with the aim of generating heat for therapeutic use.
  • Such products include upper limb orthoses, lower limb orthoses, trunk orthoses, orthopedic restraint systems,
  • the electrothermal heating system consists of a heated fabric based on Joule effect, connected to an electronic control system and powered by a battery or a transformer connected to the network.
  • the field of application of the present invention is the therapeutic one, for the local application of heat in muscular, bone lesions or other ailments produced in any part of the body.
  • the heated orthopedic article presents technical particularities that consist of the integration of heating elements in order to generate and apply heat in a localized manner in the area of application of the orthopedic article, combining the effect of the orthopedic element with Ia heat application
  • the heating elements to be used are based on the Joule effect, which is heated to the passage of electric current. Said heating elements are based on electrothermal fabrics and can create specific forms of heat application according to the part of the body to be applied. These heating elements are connected by means of electrical conductors to an electronic control unit that will manage the activation and therefore the heating of the heating fabric, obtaining the energy from an electrical power source.
  • the connection between the electrothermal part and the control electronics can be made by means of electrical conductors such as for example conductive wires, conductive tape or conductive cable.
  • Electrothermal tissues include any form of conductive tissue that is heated to the passage of current. These fabrics can incorporate conductive wires produced from monofilaments or fibers, these monofilament or fibers being conductive metallic or polymeric material. These electrothermal fabrics can also be based on metallic or polymeric conductive coatings or baths, as well as conductive inks printed or deposited on the tissue.
  • electrothermal fabrics developed from the embroidery or integration of wires or conductive cables in the form of a circuit on the base fabric.
  • These electrothermal tissues can be part of the entire orthopedic article or they can be integrated as patches or pads into the article together with other tissues or structures of the orthosis.
  • the control unit will include a power source, such as an electric power battery that will power the system.
  • Said battery may be of any format, capacity and intensity. Therefore, disposable batteries (batteries) and rechargeable batteries are included so that by connecting the system to the mains the batteries are recharged.
  • the invention also contemplates the possibility that the heated orthotic orthosis or product works directly connected to the network Electrical through a transformer.
  • the electronic control unit together with the battery may or may not be integrated into the orthopedic product itself or orthotics within a specially designed passenger compartment or pocket. Its removable configuration makes it easier to clean the orthopedic element more easily by washing without risk of damaging the electronics of the control unit.
  • the control unit of the orthotic or heated orthopedic product can have a selection system so that the user can turn on the article, as well as select the intensity of heat and even program its activation.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the article.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the article with the control unit and the power supply configured as an independent and removable element of a pocket.
  • the heated orthopedic article of the invention comprises an orthopedic element (1), in this case as a kneepad applicable on the knee of a person, said orthopedic element (1) being of elastic textile material for its adaptation, with a tubular configuration, and which has heating elements (2) by Joule effect, these heating elements (2) being connected by electrical conductors (3) to a control unit (4) with a power supply.
  • the heating elements (2) are made up of patches of electrothermal fabric formed by conductive fibers sewn on the textile material of the orthopedic element (1).
  • the power supply of the control unit (4) is configured by rechargeable batteries housed in the same box of the control unit (4), which, according to figure 1 it is attached to the orthopedic element (1).
  • FIG. 2 shows an alternative in which the control unit (4) and the power supply are external to the orthopedic element (1), and housed in a pocket (5) of said orthopedic element to allow its extraction.
  • the control unit (4) comprises controls of a system (6) for selecting the heat intensity and programming the activation.
