A padding and medicating device for corns, hammertoes, bunions, blisters, and the like comprising a noncompressible, thermoplastic, oleaginous, viscoelastic gel directly impregnated onto a carrier structure of elastic fabric. The ultrasoft gel is retained on and compressed against the body part being treated by the elastic tension of the fabric which causes the noncompressible gel to expand radially outward, flow over the lesion, and conform to the shape of the lesion in a manner which dissipates externally-applied pressure equally throughout the fabric-gel-tissue system. The invention also internally absorbs frictional or horizontal shearing forces, delivers a therapeutically significant dose of a lubricating, soothing, and emolifying oil such as Mineral Oil U.S.P., and is further capable of delivering a pharmacologically active substance to the foot lesion.
