Abstract: A gel construct includes a viscoelastic gel pad with migratory oils or also synthetic or triglyceride fluids, emollients, waxes, vitamins, humectants, pharmaceutical actives, and other hair or skin conditioning or treatment agents. The gel construct also includes a body, hair or skin-side layer on one major side surface of the gel pad which is permeable to the migratory agents of the gel. The gel construct optionally includes a barrier layer on the opposite major side surface of the gel pad to prevent the migratory agents of the gel from penetrating that layer. The gel construct may find use as, for example, an insole.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to gelatinous elastomer compositions that are useful for topical application of biologically active agents. In certain embodiments, the invention is directed to a gelatinous elastomer composition comprising about 1.0% to 50.0% block copolymer, about 0% to 98% mineral and/or synthetic oil, and about 0.0% to 98% triglyceride oil, about 0-15.0% free fatty acids, about 0-30% of a tack modification agent, about 0-20.0% of a biologically active agent and, optionally a phytosterol, ceramide and/or bisabolol. The gelatinous elastomer compositions are useful for applying a biologically active agent to a mammal. In certain embodiments, the gelatinous elastomer composition is formed into a molded article.

Abstract: A process for forming a cushion layer of a preselected thickness on an inside of a prosthetic liner body is provided and includes the steps of introducing the liner body into a mold cavity; disposing a sufficient amount of cushioning material into the inside of the liner and directing a mandrel into the inside of the liner body. The driving action of the mandrel causes the cushioning material to be dispersed between the mandrel and the liner body, thereby forming the cushioning layer of preselected thickness.
