Abstract
Provided is a self-fitting and automatically adjustable clasp band/strap which is usable in medical immobilization (e.g., casts, splints, braces) and multiple other fixation devices. The clasp band/strap may have a shape memory material and clasp members attached to two ends of the clasp band/strap. Upon stimulation by a trigger source, the shape memory material deforms which brings the two end portions closer to each other, causing the two clasp members to attach to each other to form a closure. Additionally, the clasp band/strap may include a motor, a control unit, and sensors to enable a motor actuated fine tensioning. Finally, the clasp band/strap may have an adhesive backing or any other kind of annealing or connective backing, such as a Velcro strap with an adhesive backing, for attaching to a splint or other object.
