Abstract: A body pad for application to the skin for treating an ailment. The pad includes a pad body, a recess in the pad body extending from the outer surface of the pad body toward the inner surface a distance which is less than an overall thickness of the body, and a thin, flexible wall at a bottom of the recess. The wall is adapted to deform outwardly into the recess to provide a cavity between the pad body and the skin for holding a volume of medication which has been pre-applied to the skin. Other pad features are disclosed.
Abstract: A system for holding one or more implements. The system includes a wall-mounted rail having a channel-track extending lengthwise of the rail, and an implement holder having a track-engaging element slidable in the channel-track to a selected position on the rail. Fastener holes are spaced at intervals along the bottom wall of the channel-track for receiving one or more rail fasteners to mount the rail. One implement holder comprises a jar assembly which includes a jar for storing items and a bracket mountable on the rail for holding the jar. Other implement holders may also be used, including an implement holder with a snap-lock fastener for releasable snap-fastening interconnection with the rail. A support places the holder at a different position relative to the rail. A wall mounted bracket may be used for supporting the holder.
Abstract: Footwear including an insole formed for relieving pressure on a common digital nerve of a foot. The insole has heel, mid and forefoot sections. The forefoot section of the insole is formed with a pad having a neuroma pad section which underlies the third and fourth metatarsal heads of the foot, so that when a bottom of the foot is placed on the insole, the neuroma pad section applies an upward force to the bottom of the foot sufficient to spread the third and fourth metatarsal heads away from one another and thereby relieve pressure on the third common digital nerve to reduce the risk of neuroma. In other embodiments, the pad is formed as a separate pad for placement in footwear. An insole designed for use with thonged footwear is also disclosed.
