Disclosed herein are insoles useful for treating skin injuries on a foot, for instance ulcers. The insoles are customizable for each patient's foot and can include various portions of differing softness, depending on the needs of the patient. For instance, it can be beneficial for certain sections of the foot to contact a firmer material, whereas other sections contact a softer material. Some, or all, of the materials can include one or more biofidelic skin simulant materials. Thus, various implementations include one or more regions that can include the same or different materials. For example, a custom insole can include a heel support region, a midfoot support region, and a forefoot support region, and the support regions can be subdivided into medial and lateral support regions or toe regions. One or more regions may have a custom isolation segment to prevent the progression of ulcers and/or expedite wound healing.

An elongate strap support system for anatomical support, pain reduction, or therapeutic treatment includes a package containing a first elongate strap support and at least one additional elongate strap support. In one example, the first elongate strap support includes a woven fabric support layer including synthetic fibers. The woven fabric is shaped so as to form an elongated strap with rounded portions. The woven fabric is substantially resistant to stretching in one direction under such test conditions as those specified in ASTM D3759. The first elongate strap support additionally includes an adhesive layer on the support layer for adhesive attachment of the woven fabric support layer to an outer skin surface of a body and a removable cover layer on the adhesive layer.

A skin fissure mitigation device includes a base and a sidewall coupled to the base in a concave arrangement to define a cavity structured to receive a heel of a foot of a user. The device includes an adhesive on a surface of the base or sidewall or both facing the heel of the foot of the user to adhere the device to the foot of the user. At least one of the base and the sidewall include an elastic material structured to apply tension to a bottom surface of the foot of the user to close skin fissures on the bottom surface of the foot of the user. The base and sidewall may also include tabs for increasing the tension in the device.

An improved therapeutic adhesive patch for application to the heel is described for treating or preventing heel disorders or conditions, such as cracked heel.

A heel care device, having a cup section shaped to fit over and cover a portion of a subjects foot and a strap section configured to retain the cup section in place on the subjects foot. The strap section is made of a flexible, elastic material and the cup section is more rigid than the strap section.

A device for protecting a plantar pad of a foot, including: a pad including a viscoelastic material, configured to be held on the skin of the plantar region, and to cover all the metatarsal heads and metatarsophalangeal joints of the foot, and an elastic strap attached to lateral edges of the pad, and including a transverse and a longitudinal portion forming a brace configured to pass between a big toe and an adjacent toe, the longitudinal portion having a distal edge fixed to a distal edge of the pad, the transverse portion having a distal edge delimiting, with the pad and a lateral edge of the longitudinal portion, an aperture for the passage of the second to fifth toes, the distal edge of the transverse portion and the lateral edge having, in a unstretched flat state, rectilinear portions forming between them an angle between 75 and 100°.

A device protects the plantar padding of a foot, wherein: a cushion including a viscoelastic material, configured to be held against the skin of the plantar region, and covering all of the metatarsal heads and the metatarsophalangeal joints of the foot, and an elastic band attached to the cushion along two opposing transverse edges, and by a tab configured to pass between the big toe and the adjacent toe of the foot, the band having a width configured to entirely cover side bulges formed by the metatarsophalangeal joints of the small and big toes, wherein a portion of the band configured for contacting the top of the foot includes tacky elements on both sides thereof, thereby preventing the protective device from sliding on the skin when it is placed on the foot and inside a sock surrounding the foot.

A foot wrap (10) has a generally non-stretchable, flexible binding (11), a generally stretchable panel (12) coupled to the binding, an expandable, rotatable bladder (14), and a support pad (16) coupled to the binding opposite the bladder (14). The binding has a central portion (19) straddled by a first wing (21), a second wing (22), and an elastic heel band (23). The bladder measures approximately 3 inches by 3 inches and is designed to increase in height approximately 1½ to 1¾ inches with its inflation.

A wound dressing garment is provided. The wound dressing garment includes a wearable garment including a portion having a hole configured to receive a wound dressing therein in combination with the wound dressing. The wound dressing includes a border connecting the wound dressing to the wearable garment where the border extends around the perimeter of the hole to locate the wound dressing therein. The wound dressing may include one or more additional layers including a hydrogel layer. A method for treating wound or preventing bed sores using the wound dressing garment is also provided.
