Abstract: An impact pad containing body cushioning device with the impact pad filled with a viscoelastic polymeric material which mimics the trabecular architecture of cancellous bone allowing the device to enhance this ability to cushion impact forces against various sensitive parts of the human body.

Abstract: A splint and a method for treating toe injuries. A sleeve is sized for splinting an injured toe; a strap on the sleeve extends from the sleeve, around an adjacent toe and back to the sleeve; and fastening arrangements associated with the sleeve and the strap for fastening both ends of the strap to the sleeve, whereby the strap securely holds the splinted toe to the adjacent toe. The adjacent anchoring toe is preferably disposed toward the middle of the body from the injured toe. The sleeve advantageously applies compression to the injured toe. Preferably, one end of the strap is permanently attached to a distal end of the sleeve and is extended around a distal portion of the adjacent anchoring toe. The fastening arrangements may comprise a hook-and-loop-type fastener.
