Dispositivo de protección de la parte distal del primer dedo del pieProtective device for the distal part of the first toe

Sector de la técnicaTechnical sector

La presente invención pertenece al campo de la medicina, y más en concreto al de la ortopedia.The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and more specifically to that of orthopedics.

El objeto de la presente invención es un elemento superior incluido en un anillo o dedil elástico cuya finalidad es la de evitar el roce dorsal y final del primer dedo del pie contra el zapato.The object of the present invention is an upper element included in an elastic ring or finger whose purpose is to avoid the dorsal and final friction of the first toe against the shoe.

El presente modelo de utilidad se refiere a un anillo fisiológico/ anatómico, que contiene un elemento de prevención de presión o roce colocado dorsalmente sobre el dedo, a nivel de la primera falange o entre primera y segunda falange del primer dedo del pie.The present utility model refers to a physiological / anatomical ring, which contains a pressure or friction prevention element placed dorsally on the finger, at the level of the first phalanx or between the first and second phalanx of the first toe.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Es sabido que la deformidad del primer dedo (HAV), vulgarmente llamada Juanete, se forma por la tendencia hacia el exterior del primer dedo con la posibilidad de que éste acabe elevándose al mismo tiempo que se lateraliza, lo que ocasiona que el primer dedo del pie quede más alto respecto a los demás y por consiguiente sea el primer dedo el que roce con la pala o parte superior del calzado. A su vez, el Juanete hace que el espacio natural entre el primer y segundo dedo del pie también disminuya. Existen, a su vez, alteraciones de la marcha que cursan en muchas ocasiones con una elevación del primer dedo al caminar, este gesto puede estar agravado si hay presencia de juanetes, lo que provoca un roce suave pero constante a nivel de la uña o zona distal del dedo, sobre todo si el usuario lleva calzado de pala baja.It is known that the deformity of the first toe (HAV), commonly called Bunion, is formed by the outward tendency of the first toe with the possibility that it ends up rising at the same time as it is lateralized, which causes the first toe of the foot is higher than the others and therefore it is the first toe that rubs against the upper or upper part of the shoe. In turn, the Bunion reduces the natural space between the first and second toes as well. There are, in turn, gait alterations that occur on many occasions with an elevation of the first toe when walking, this gesture may be aggravated if there is the presence of bunions, which causes a soft but constant friction at the level of the nail or area distal toe, especially if the user is wearing low-top shoes.

Actualmente existen en el mercado anillos simples, elásticos, de silicona, de gel o foam, los cuales, no solventan este problema en concreto, ya que no presentan este elemento.Currently there are simple, elastic, silicone, gel or foam rings on the market, which do not solve this problem in particular, since they do not have this element.

Explicación de la invenciónExplanation of the invention

El anillo objeto de esta Invención evita el roce de la parte distal del dedo (de la uña) y en cierto grado, el desvío indebido de dicho dedo hacia arriba, al colocarse el dedo más estirado con este dispositivo, ya que la pieza incluida en el anillo entre la 1a y 2a falange del dedo fuerza al dedo a mejorar su apoyo plantar. El elemento superior incluido dentro de dicho anillo es una pieza de material amortiguante, que no origina ninguna molestia al usuario, sino todo lo contrario.The ring object of this invention avoids the friction of the distal part of the finger (of the nail) and to a certain degree, the undue deviation of said finger upwards, when the finger is placed more stretched with this device, since the piece included in the ring between the 1st and 2nd phalanx of the finger forces the finger to improve its plantar support. The upper element included within said ring is a piece of cushioning material, which does not cause any discomfort to the user, quite the opposite.

El pie, en su última fase de apoyo, despega fundamentalmente del suelo por el primer dedo, por lo que este dispositivo a su vez favorece un apoyo más correcto y a la vez la del conjunto del pie. Así pues, el dispositivo disminuirá consecuentemente las durezas o callosidades propias del dedo gordo tanto plantar como dorsalmente, sobre todo cuando exista una desviación dorsal del primer dedo debido a la deformidad causada por el Juanete.The foot, in its last phase of support, is fundamentally lifted off the ground by the first toe, so this device in turn favors a more correct support and at the same time that of the foot as a whole. Thus, the device will consequently reduce the hardness or calluses of the big toe both plantarly and dorsally, especially when there is a dorsal deviation of the first toe due to the deformity caused by the Bunion.

Este anillo ofrece la ventaja de facilitar la normalización del aspecto de la uña así como de su crecimiento y de su curación tras traumatismos, tenga el usuario juanete o no, ya que este dispositivo evitará la presión o roce del calzado en la zona distal afectada. Este anillo actúa a modo de elemento de descarga de presión, colocándose anteriormente a la uña del primer dedo y evitando así la presión directa contra ésta.This ring offers the advantage of facilitating the normalization of the appearance of the nail as well as its growth and its healing after trauma, whether the user has a bunion or not, since this device will prevent pressure or rubbing of the footwear in the affected distal area. This ring acts to mode of pressure relief element, being placed before the nail of the first finger and thus avoiding direct pressure against it.

Los beneficios que comporta este dispositivo en forma de anillo son que ayuda a la no progresión del Hallux Abductus Valgus y dorsiflexión del dedo asociada, aumenta la superficie de apoyo del primer dedo, evita la callosidad asociada a su vez en la zona plantar/ pulpejo del primer dedo y evita la alteración ungueal traumática por el calzado. Favorece el alineamiento y el confort al caminar y no resulta molesto debido a que añade un elemento al espacio natural en el dedo que resulta, en muchas ocasiones, de su elevación dorsal y distal patológica.The benefits of this ring-shaped device are that it helps the non-progression of the Hallux Abductus Valgus and associated dorsiflexion of the finger, increases the support surface of the first toe, avoids the callus associated in turn in the plantar / ball of first finger and avoid traumatic nail alteration by footwear. It favors alignment and comfort when walking and is not annoying due to the fact that it adds an element to the natural space in the finger that results, in many cases, from its pathological dorsal and distal elevation.

Realización preferente de la invenciónPreferred embodiment of the invention

Según la invención, tenemos un anillo fisiológico constituido por un material tipo elástico, como tejido elástico o polímero de gel, con un elemento superior de material EVA, goma, silicona, gel o PU, con una consistencia/ dureza media cuya parte superior abarca gran parte del primer dedo hasta casi la uña, para evitar la presión o roce de la parte distal del dedo o uña contra el calzado. La almohadilla superior tendrá una longitud aproximada de 3 cm y una altura aproximada de 1cm. Tales materiales constituyentes del anillo también pueden ser de polímero de gel, silicona, goma esponjosa, poliuretano, foam o memory foam, espuma de nylon o viscoelástica, gel mousee o cualquier material similar adecuado. El elemento superior irá incluido dentro de este anillo o inclusive superpuesto.According to the invention, we have a physiological ring made of an elastic type material, such as elastic fabric or gel polymer, with an upper element of EVA, rubber, silicone, gel or PU material, with a medium consistency / hardness whose upper part covers a large part of the first toe almost to the nail, to avoid pressure or rubbing of the distal part of the finger or nail against the shoe. The top pad will be about 3cm long and about 1cm high. Such ring constituent materials can also be gel polymer, silicone, sponge rubber, polyurethane, foam or memory foam, nylon or memory foam, mouse gel, or any similar suitable material. The upper element will be included within this ring or even superimposed.

Este dispositivo podría contener otra pieza estrecha separadora entre primer y segundo dedo dentro de la misma unidad del anillo, para evitar cualquier tipo de lesión dérmica que pueda producirse a partir del roce constante de estos dedos, como puedan ser callos o heridas, constituido de material blando anteriormente citado a modo de separador digital o dispositivo separador.This device could contain another narrow separating piece between the first and second fingers within the same unit of the ring, to avoid any type of dermal injury that may occur from the constant rubbing of these fingers, such as calluses or wounds, made of material aforementioned soft tissue as a digital separator or separator device.

Así pues, queda protegida la parte distal del dedo/ uña y con posibilidad de quedar separado el primer dedo del segundo y, correctamente sujeto por un anillo adaptable o dedil.Thus, the distal part of the finger / nail is protected and the first finger can be separated from the second and correctly held by an adaptable ring or fingernail.

Así mismo, cabe la posibilidad de su realización en forma de dedil para evitar un desplazamiento posterior del anillo al calzarse.Likewise, it is possible to make it in the form of a finger to avoid a subsequent displacement of the ring when putting on.

Finalmente, sólo queda consignar que en la presente invención caben cuantas variantes de realización sean factibles sin alterar su espíritu, pudiéndose fabricar en toda clase de materiales y medidas apropiadas sin limitación e inclusive para el resto de los dedos del pie, de forma individual o conjunta. Finally, it only remains to state that in the present invention there can be as many variants of embodiment that are feasible without altering its spirit, being able to be manufactured in all kinds of materials and appropriate measures without limitation and even for the rest of the toes, individually or jointly. .
