CLOSURE DEVICES AND METHODS FOR BIVALVED CASTS

摘要

A device for adjusting a fit of a brace about a limb includes a tension member and a tightening mechanism. The tightening mechanism is operably coupled with the tension member so that the tension member forms a loop. The loop is positionable about the brace to circumferentially surround an outer surface of the brace. The tightening mechanism is operable to decrease a diameter of the loop so that, after the loop is positioned about over the brace, the tension member constricts about the outer surface of the brace to tighten the brace about the limb.
