Reversible toe manipulation device
View Patent ↗A reversible toe manipulation device comprising a separator for inserting between two toes of the human foot, the separator including a duality of shaped openings, each shaped opening adapted for receiving at least one toe and the shaped openings being from 0.25 to 2.0″ in depth, at least one of the shaped openings fully attaching around one or more toes so that the separator is attached to the feet and toes, the separator further comprising an adjustable stretch width section that can be altered using a removable stretch width section to the width desired by the wearer, said adjustable stretch width section interposed between the shaped openings, the separator spreading the toes between 0.25 to 2.0″ in width, such that when the toes are inserted into the shaped openings the toes are contactless.
1. A pliable toe manipulation device for at least two toes of the human foot, each foot having a hallux comprising:
a parabolic shaped member, the member having a closed first end and an open second end;
a shaped opening proximate to the first end, the shaped opening capable of receiving the hallux, wherein the shaped opening forms a ring around the hallux;
a removable ring adapted to conform to an inner circumference of the shaped opening, wherein the removable ring reduces a diameter of the shaped opening;
wherein the open end is capable of receiving a second toe most proximate to the hallux;
wherein the toe manipulation device is reversible such that the shaped opening is adapted to receive the second and a third toe most proximate to the hallux, and the open end is adapted to receive the hallux.
2. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 1 wherein the open second end is a half circular opening.
3. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 1 wherein a removable stretch cut is located between the shaped opening and the open end.
4. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 1 wherein the parabolic shaped member and the removable ring are fabricated from material that is safe to be worn against human skin.
5. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 1 wherein parabolic shaped member and the removable ring are fabricated from foam.
6. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 5 wherein said foam is selected from a group comprising polystyrene, polyurethane, extruded polyurethane, and copolymers.
7. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 5 wherein said foam is hydrophilic polyurethane.
8. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 5 wherein said foam is a non-irritant to the skin.
9. The pliable toe manipulation device of claim 1 wherein the removable stretch cut is formed in a removable stretch width section.
10. The pliable toe manipulation device of claim 1 , wherein the shaped opening is approximately 0.25 to 2.0″ in depth; the adjustable stretched width section is approximately 0.25 to 2.0″ in depth; and the half circle indentation is approximately 0.25 to 2.0″ in depth.
11. The pliable toe manipulation device as described in claim 1 wherein the shaped opening is capable of receiving the second and third toe and the open end is capable of receiving a fourth toe.
