ABSTRACT:
A clavicle orthotic device has two bands (8, 8') of essentially non-elastic material adjustable in length. The bands (8, 8') are permanently attached at their respective first ends (3, 3') to a common support element (2) and can be detachably fastened to the support element at their respective second ends (4, 4'). For increasing wearing comfort through the greatest freedom of movement possible with simultaneous introduction of sufficient traction to the fractured clavicle, the support element (2) is constructed as an oblong plate element, at whose upper region the first ends (3, 3') are installed, and at whose lower region the second ends (4, 4') of the bands can be mounted by means of two buckles (5, 5'), whereby both buckles are positioned on the support element (2) as to be pivotable about a rotation point (6).
