Description
The Qadam Thin Dress Gel Bunion Relief is a thin, anatomically correct gel pad that cushions the bunion joint and is designed to provide relief from shoe pressure. It is available uncovered, soft directly against the skin, or with a smooth odour-resistant fabric cover suitable for dress footwear.
The pad is made from mineral-oil-infused polymer gel, which releases medical-grade mineral oil to help soften and moisturise skin. The covered version has smooth, flexible fabric on the inner and outer surfaces.
The same pad can also be used on the hand as a CMC/MP joint protector: it cushions the metacarpal heads on the palm and back of the hand, may be used to cushion the base of the thumb or reduce tenderness over palmar incisions when grasping firm objects, and its low profile fits under splints or braces.
