  • Patent number: 5343882
    Abstract: A kit includes a carrying case that has a powder absorbing mat fixed to an inner surface thereof. A plurality of foot-care accessories are also stored in the kit. The foot-care accessories include a flexible bag that is formed of material that will store medicated powder yet will dispense that powder on contact with a user's foot. The flexible bag is interdigitated between the user's toes and is attached to the foot. A user places his or her foot on either the mat or the flexible bag, scrapes or brushes the foot, and dusts the medicated powder onto the foot. Any powder that falls off is stored in the bag or the mat for application to the bottom of the user's foot. The bag is then applied to the foot if desired.
