Pressure absorbing skin patch and method of manufacturing same

A patch comprising:

• at least one pressure-absorbing member, said pressure absorbing member formed of a continuous piece of resilient material and having:
• a first surface,
• a plurality of projections extending from said first surface,
• a plurality of channels crossing one another at a plurality of intersections,
• an outer bounding wall having an inner side surface facing the plurality of projections, said inner side surface and the plurality of projections define a plurality of outermost channels therebetween,
• wherein an outermost surface of said plurality of projections and of said outer bounding wall lies along a projections plane of said pressure-absorbing member, said plurality of projections being deformable when subjected to pressure applied to the patch, so as to absorb at least some of the applied pressure;
• and a resilient sealing material layer disposed along the projections plane and connected to the plurality of projections and/or the outer bounding wall so as to enclose the plurality of channels and form enclosed channels therebetween.
