Description

This utility model relates to the field of preventive medicine, more precisely, is intended to protect against the spread of spores of the fungus of the feet and nails. This product also provides protection against the smell of sweat.

It is known that foot fungus is a very common disease that is transmitted from person to person. You can get infected both through direct contact, and through infected objects. Mushrooms reproduce by spores. They can last extremely long on any clothing, shoes, furniture, floor coverings, etc. including during treatment. Thus, during treatment, the infection remains on the inner surface of the shoes, hosiery, etc., causing re-infection. And if a person does not have the habit of washing his feet daily or suffers from excessive sweating of the feet, then the likelihood of re-infection with the fungus increases significantly. Most often, the fungus begins to develop precisely on the legs, since they are more in contact with dirty surfaces. It should also be mentioned that usually treatment is long and tiring, and, in addition, often inconclusive because of the ability of the fungus to get used to the medicines used and, accordingly, not to respond to them.

Current recommendations to prevent the spread of fungal spores are compliance with personal protective measures. Of course, anyone should change socks daily, have their own shoes, slippers, and personal hygiene items. Feet should be dry, as the mushrooms that grow on our skin like moisture. Individual shoes and socks must undergo tough special, sometimes high-temperature processing or just throw away. All this is quite laborious, requires a certain self-discipline from a person and a significant investment of time and money.

The objective of this utility model is to eliminate these shortcomings and create a shortened sock, which is commonly called the footprint, which allows you to effectively protect the external environment from the effects of fungal diseases spores.

The problem is solved at the expense of a protective subsea, the material of which is impregnated with bentonite clay. Bentonite is known for its high ability to absorb various substances and involves the absorption of moisture secreted by the foot with spores of the fungus.

The accompanying drawings show the follower according to the present model, where

The footprint is made of soft natural or synthetic fabric or other material in the form of a shortened sock and repeats the shape of the foot. The fabric is completely saturated with bentonite clay inside and out. The footprint is put on a bare foot and a regular sock is put on top of it. In the process of wearing, the foot sweats, and bentonite actively absorbs the generated moisture containing fungal spores. Thus, the sorbing effect of bentonite clogs up the spores of the fungus, not passing them to the patient’s shoes and protecting them from infection during the operation time, or into the external environment, and at the same time allows the skin to breathe. In addition, moisture absorption eliminates the unpleasant odor of sweat. After one-time use, the footprint is discarded (disposed of as household waste), and feet are washed with water. You can leave it on the leg for an undetermined reasonable amount of time while the absorbent capacity of bentonite is maintained. In the acute stage of the disease, it is recommended to put on an underseaker twice a day: from morning to evening and from evening to morning, in particular, to prevent infection of bed linen. The use of the footprint is supposed until the fungus of the feet and nails is completely cured by special means.

The proposed sock-foot is not a medicine and does not cure the fungus, but facilitates hygiene in the treatment of fungal diseases of the foot and prevents the threat of repeated permanent infection during treatment.
