A bandage intended for use on digits; i.e. fingers and toes, to cover injuries to the knuckle or pad area of the first joint on the hand or foot. The bandage is configured as a pad with an angled loop, the loop used as an anchor around the base of a digit in order to resist motions that might peel the bandage off the skin. The pad may contain medicines suitable for treating a wound or injury, may be radio opaque, may contain a reinforced surface to prevent compression or skin friction at the site, or other ancillary devices. The loop is deformable in length in order to fit different digits and wound locations.

A pad comprises a first cushion layer having an opening adapted to receive an active agent, a second outer layer having a border extending inwardly of the periphery, a third intermediate layer impermeable to the active agent is affixed to the inner surface of the second outer layer, and a selectively releasable adhesive material is disposed along the border for releasably securing the second outer layer to the first cushion layer such that the second outer layer and the third intermediate layer cover the opening in the first cushion layer for sealing the opening and to prevent diffusion of the active agent from the cushion layer. In an open position of the pad at least a portion of the second outer layer is spaced from the cushion layer such that the opening in the cushion layer is exposed to receive the active agent.

A foot prosthetic having a pressure relieving, weight distribution pad having a convex surface and a concave surface. The pad includes a central portion having a maximum thickness, the pad gradually tapering from the central portion to an outer peripheral edge thereof, the pad providing a cushioning for the foot. An adhesive layer is formed on the concave surface. During use, the concave surface is affixed to a selected portion of the user's foot thus conforming to the unique shape of the selected portion of the user's foot. The gradual tapering provides a smooth transition being formed between the pad and the user's foot at the outer peripheral edge.

A bandage intended for use on digits; i.e. fingers and toes, to cover injuries to knuckle or joint pad areas on the hand or foot. The bandage is configured as a pad with an angled loop, the loop meant to surround the base of a digit in order to resist motions that might peel the bandage off the skin. The pad may contain medicines suitable for treating a wound or injury, may be radio opaque, may contain a reinforced surface to prevent compression or skin friction at the site, or other ancillary devices. The loop is deformable in length in order to fit different digits and wound locations.

A blister protector cap incorporates features such as a hemispherical/paraboloid cap dome, which goes over a blister and attaches to the skin using an adhesive compound. The blister protector cap may have air vents located at any part of its surface for ventilation purposes and aiding the skin to heal the blister. The anterior side of the blister protector cap has a cavity in order to cover the blister and protect it from any sharp or rough objects. In an embodiment, some part of the dome is flexible. In such a configuration, an accordion-like wall structure or a corrugated wall structure can be integrated to allow for some flexibility. Furthermore, this flexible part of the dome can also have vent holes or be made of a porous material to allow air and moisture to pass through but block water molecules from passing through to the inside of dome.

A support for an appendage includes a flexible main body having a generally hollow, tapered, cylindrical shape defining a cavity that is configured to receive an appendage of a wearer. One or more apertures are formed in a wall of the main body to provide bendability to the main body and to allow the appendage to breathe when disposed in the main body. The support further includes a support member disposed adjacent a surface of the main body opposite the one or more apertures to provide rigidity to the main body.

A shear force negating plaster (10) in which the top layer of material consists of a Baltex spacer material (14), which because of its construction allows a degree of lateral movement so as to compliment the lateral movement of the two flexible planar circular plastic inserts (16, 20).

After a human body has formed one of numerous calluses or sores due to various conditions of the human condition the present invention offers a means to aid in pain relief and/or an aid in therapy for sores and skin conditions normally considered to be caused by pressure. The present invention seeks to provide a device designed explicitly to transfer weight or pressure from an area on the body that causes the excrescence to develop. The simplest form is designed for use with a condition known as Intractable Planter Keratosis or IPK. Whether the IPK callus is caused from locomotion, or other sores caused by continual or inordinate pressure, the present invention in its simplest form is a thin disc approximately but not limited to 1 in diameter and a thickness of approximately but not limited to 0.036 with a hollow protrusion of approximately but not limited to 0.036 that covers a sore completely but isolated the sore from any contact with the disc or the protrusion. The mechanical work that the present invention provides is the transferal of substantially all pressure away from the sore and to healthy flesh areas immediately around the sore.

A corn dressing for application to a corn. The dressing comprises an adhesive layer having a skin-facing surface and a non-skin-facing surface. The non-skin-facing surface is provided with a backing layer and the dressing comprises a central portion and a border portion surrounding the central portion and a central hole or depression. The central portion comprises a core surrounding the central hole or depression. The core is pressure resistant and is embedded in the adhesive layer.
