| 128880000 | Thumb/finger (e.g., anti-thumb sucking, etc.) | 6 |
| 20080236600 | Nail biting deterrent device and method - A partial mouthpiece is made of soft, flexible dental material and is manufactured to conform to the shape and size of a user's lower front biting teeth. The preferred mouthpiece would cover the four lower incisors and two canine teeth, but an acceptable alternative would also cover the lower left and right first molars as well. The mouthpiece is thin and made to conform to the arcuate shape and size of a user's own teeth. The mouthpiece has a thickness of approximately 0.037 inches. The thin structure of the mouthpiece prevents the user from biting his nails, but does not inhibit speech, is hardly noticeable when in use and is aesthetically pleasing. To use the device, the nail biter creates a list of events that have a tendency to trigger nail biting. The mouthpiece is inserted onto the subject's lower front biting teeth whenever the urge to bite fingernails arises. The partial mouthpiece prohibits the subject from biting his nails and the habit is eventually broken. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090056727 | THUMB- AND FINGER-SUCKING INHIBITION GARMENT AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A garment for inhibiting thumb and finger sucking includes pajamas having sleeves that cover the hands with a puppet having a likeness of a creature. The child is told a story that has the creature as a character therein. The child is encouraged to participate in the story-telling with the use of the puppet, with the child acting out the part played by the creature in the story. Such an activity engages a child by being part of the action of the story and distracts the child from thumb and or finger sucking. The child is encouraged to wear the garment during the night so that the puppet/creature remains at the end of the sleeves in covering relation to the hands during the night, thereby deterring and inhibiting the child from thumb and or finger sucking. Another element can include positive reinforcement in the form of a reward system. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20110120479 | Blood-draw finger restraint - An apparatus for drawing blood from a finger includes a flexible band, at least a portion of which is adapted to surround a portion of a finger. A remaining portion of the apparatus is disposed under at least one joint of the finger. The apparatus provides sufficient strength along its longitudinal length to restrict a child or other person from excessively bending the joint when the finger restraint is in position. After a puncture is provided near the tip of the finger, the apparatus is then squeezed to help force an additional quantity of blood to flow out through the puncture. After the blood sample is taken, the apparatus continues to “restrain” the finger until a required bandage is applied. A few of the many possible modifications are also shown. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20120211011 | Surgical Irrigation and Retraction Platform - The invention relates to a universal design for an irrigation and retraction platform for use in operating on an extremity of a patient. The platform includes a chamber provided for the efficient collection and disposal of fluids to reduce the possibility of contaminating the surgical team and the operating room, and a support platform for positioning the extremity during surgery. The invention also includes an enclosure and other accessories for use with the platform. | 08-23-2012 |
| 20130327344 | Apparatus With Retainer For Treating Thumb Or Finger Sucking - An apparatus is provided for discouraging a user from sucking on their thumb. The apparatus of one example includes a hollow vacuum-breaking device, a pair of straps extending from the vacuum-breaking device, and a retainer. The vacuum-breaking device is sized to permit insertion of the user's digit into the vacuum-breaking device so that its base is nearer to the base of the thumb, with its air passages preventing the user from establishing a sucking vacuum when the respective digit including the vacuum-breaking device is inserted into the user's mouth. The pair of straps defines a pair of holes, and the retainer is configured to extend through overlapping holes of the straps to thereby secure the straps together. The retainer defines an aperture for receiving a wristband securable to the user's wrist to secure the straps to the user's wrist, with the vacuum-breaking device thereby being securable to the user's hand. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140034067 | Tube To Prevent Thumb Sucking - The present invention is an apparatus to prevent thumb sucking for attachment to a user's arm having an elongated tubular sleeve of a soft pliable material with a closed end and an open end, and a soft pliable material liner within the outer elongated tubular sleeve. The user will have the tubular sleeve placed over the hand and forearm of the user, so that the user will not be able to thumb suck since the tubular sleeve prevents the user from having access to the user's thumb. The tublular sleeve having one or more icons thereon to encourage the user to be receptive to the placement of the tubular sleeve on the user. | 02-06-2014 |
