Thrive Orthopedics has added the Equinus BraceTM to its portfolio, for which it has been granted exclusive distribution, manufacturing, and patent rights, along with the exclusive lifetime license of all associated intellectual property, from IQ Med LLC, the product’s holding company. The brace was invented by Patrick A. DeHeer, DPM, to address the simple problem of night splints and other stretching devices not extending above the knee to engage the gastrocnemius muscle. The tightness of this muscle is associated with many foot and ankle pathologies. To stretch the gastrocnemius muscle, the knee must be locked into full extension. The product will also be available through Thrive’s international portfolio as associated regulatory requirements are met.
