ABSTRACT:
A medicating device for human nails and adjacent tissue which, in the preferred embodiment, includes a transparent viscoelastic gel pad having one or more pharmacologically-active substances incorporated therein; a sheet of transparent, impermeable, and elastic material providing an occlusive layer adjacent to the upper surface of the viscoelastic gel pad; an elastic retaining ring perimetrically surrounding the viscoelastic gel pad to prevent migration due to shoe pressure; and a porous meshwork attached to the elastic retaining ring so as to additionally anchor the gel pad from migration. The porous meshwork member may be located at the surface of the viscoelastic gel pad opposite the occlusive covering sheet, or may run through the viscoelastic gel pad in its anchoring function. The viscoelastic gel pad, occlusive covering sheet, and elastic retaining ring with porous meshwork may be secured to the digit of the wearer by a transparent digit-engaging elastic tubular sheath, or by an adhesive tape bandage with a visual access opening.
