Orthopedic device (Orthosis)

Orthopedic device (Orthosis) is an individually manufactured surgical device that provides fixation of an unstable joint or joints. An example of such a device is a spinal corset. LACRIMAL APPARATUS - formations that produce and remove fluid from the eye (see figure). The lacrimal gland (lacrimal gland) secretes tears. The tear washes the anterior part of the eyeball, flows into the lacrimal lake located in the medial corner of the eye, and through the lacrimal openings (puncta) - small holes located in the inner corner of the eye - is drained into two lacrimal canaliculi (lacrimal canaliculi), which flow into the lacrimal sac (lacrimal sac), which passes into the nasolacrimal duct, from where tears enter the nasal cavity.

An orthopedic device is an individually manufactured surgical device that provides fixation of an unstable joint or joints. An example of such a device is a spinal corset.

The orthopedic device is used for immobilization and unloading of the affected joint or part of the spine, correction of deformities and contractures, as well as for the prevention of complications in various diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Orthoses are made individually based on an impression of the patient’s body and are selected taking into account the location and nature of the pathological process.

Orthopedic devices can be rigid or semi-rigid, removable or non-removable. They are made from modern polymer and composite materials, providing strength, lightness and comfort when wearing the orthosis. The widespread use of orthopedic devices makes it possible to effectively treat diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system and restore the functions of affected organs.
