Abstract
A system, method and device for the symptomatic relief for soft corns by injecting a medical grade molding substance between the toes between which a corn is located, forming a molded-in-place, custom-shaped high definition mold, unique to the individual's physical conformation and which reduces friction and eliminates pressure points on the corn.
Claims40
A method for the symptomatic relief or pain caused by a corn on the human toe, comprising the steps of:
- a. inserting a spacer between a toe having a corn and a neighboring toe so as to create a space between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe;
- b. injecting a moldable and curable molding material in the space between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe and allowing the molding material to cure to form a molded device;
- and
- c. leaving the molded device in place between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe whereby the molded device protects the corn by in part transferring pressure around the corn to neighboring healthy tissue.
A method for the symptomatic relief or pain caused by a corn on the human toe, comprising the steps of:
- a. inserting a spacer between a toe having a corn and a neighboring toe so as to create a space between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe;
- b. providing a dam underneath the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe, which dam extends from proximal to where the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe connect to a foot, underneath the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe and the space therebetween, and upwards about the tips of the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe, thereby creating a three-dimensional volume between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe bounded by the dam, the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe;
- c. injecting a moldable and curable molding material in the space between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe and allowing the molding material to cure to form a molded device;
- and
- d. leaving the molded device in place between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe whereby the molded device protects the corn by in part transferring pressure around the corn to neighboring healthy tissue.
A system for the symptomatic relief or pain caused by a corn on the human toe, comprising:
- a. providing means for creating a molded device between a toe having a corn and a neighboring toe;
- b. creating the molded device as a custom-made and shaped component for protecting the corn;
- and
- c. inserting the molded device between the toe having the corn and the neighboring toe so as to cover the corn, whereby the molded device protects the corn by in part transferring pressure around the corn to neighboring healthy tissue
A device for the symptomatic relief or pain caused by a corn on the human toe comprising a molded in place component for placement in the space between a toe having a corn and a neighboring toe.
