ABSTRACT:
A support and immobilizing device for a damaged toe includes a pad having a front edge from which a curved support member projects. The suppport member overlies the damaged toe and is taped to it so that the toe will be supported and immobilized. The device of the present invention can be made for specific toes of the foot and the device will be of specific configurations for the big toe, the little toe, the fourth toe and the second and third toes. Thus, a total of four devices will be made and used for the five toes of each foot; however, the basic construction of the device will always remain the same, such basic construction being the combination of the pad and support member on the top of the foot and toe, respectively.
