ABSTRACT:
A toe splint and bunion correction device comprising: a substantially L-shaped splint member of a thermoplastic material which maintains rigidity at body temperature; and a velcro fastener for securing the splint member to the foot. The method for preparing and applying the toe splint and bunion correction device comprises the steps of: placing the thermoplastic splint member in a heating medium at a temperature sufficient to allow the splint member to become pliable; removing the splint member from the heating medium; molding the splint member into a configuration accommodating the foot and toe while the splint member is pliable; maintaining the splint member in the configuration accommodating the foot and toe until the temperature of the splint member cools to less than the temperature at which it became rigid; and, fastening the splint member to the foot with a velcro fastener.
