Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0121119A1] The invention relates to a foot-shaped sock or stocking for therapeutic use, made of thin, flexible and preferably also elastic material. To the inner surface of the toe cavities of said foot-shaped sock or stocking are fastened a number of elastomeric, pad-like inserts that relieve pressure on the inner side of the toe. The elastomeric insert according to the invention are suitably made of a soft, almost viscous plastic, for instance of a known silicone-based gel type, said inserts being fastened on the inner side of the bandage by thermal welding, sewing, adhesion or in another suitable way. The sock or stocking itself is made of nylon or an equivalent thin and elastic textile, preferably of a type which has an appropriate permeability to vapour, and which occupies as little space and causes as little inconvenience as possible, so that the bandage can be worn under ordinary footwear.
