[0029] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the fixing part includes a breathable transverse belt 11, and the breathable separation pad 21 is detachably mounted on the breathable transverse belt 11, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the breathable separation pad 21. In this embodiment, the fixing part also includes a bottom plate 12, and the breathable transverse belt 11 is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 12; the material of the bottom plate 12 is shape memory alloy, and the bottom plate 12 has a U-shaped structure. When in use, the bottom plate 12 can be slightly bent and deformed according to the different junctions between the user's toes and forefoot. The breathable transverse belt 11 bends and deforms along with the bottom plate 12, making it fit the user's sole more closely, thereby improving the user's experience and comfort; at the same time, the use of the bottom plate 12 not only allows for slight deformation, but also does not affect the normal ventilation of the breathable transverse belt 11, thereby avoiding sweating and keeping the user's sole dry and breathable.

[0030] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, each breathable spacer 21 is integrally formed with a curved retaining block 22 on the top. During use, the curved retaining block 22 abuts against two adjacent toes of the user, securing the breathable spacer 21 between the user's toes and preventing it from falling. In this embodiment, both sides of the breathable spacer 21 are designed to fit the curvature of the side surfaces of the human toes, and the bottom contact surface of the curved retaining block 22 is designed to fit the curvature of the surface of the human toes, making it fit the user's toes more closely, improving the user experience and comfort.

[0031] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the breathable horizontal strip 11, breathable separator pad 21, and curved block 22 are all made of black polyurethane cotton. Polyurethane has excellent water absorption, breathability, softness, and durability in pressure ulcer treatment, and its black color helps reduce light irritation on the wound surface. Furthermore, the large mesh structure of the black cotton material allows it to more effectively absorb dandruff, keeping the area between the user's toes clean and hygienic. Furthermore, polyurethane is biocompatible and will not cause irritation or allergic reactions in patients.

[0032] During actual use, the breathable separation pad 21 can also be set as a wrapping bag, in which medicinal materials can be movably placed, and the medicine can be used to care for and treat the user's toe gaps, thereby making the user's toe gaps cleaner and healthier; at the same time, the medicinal materials can be replaced according to actual use to better meet the needs of the user.

[0033] Example 1:

During use, the breathable separator pad 21 is fixed to the slot 14 at the corresponding position on the breathable horizontal belt 11 using the fixing block 24 according to the user's actual needs, and is then ready for later use. At the same time, slight deformation of the breathable horizontal belt 11 due to the base plate 12 does not affect the adhesion of the breathable separator pad 21.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a limiting slider 23, which is fixedly connected to the breathable separation pad 21. The breathable horizontal belt 11 is provided with a slide groove 13 that matches the limiting slider 23. The limiting slider 23 slides into the slide groove 13, facilitating installation and removal of the breathable separation pad 21 and the breathable horizontal belt 11. During use, the limiting slider 23 on the breathable separation pad 21 is first slid into the slide groove 13 at the corresponding position to complete the connection between the breathable separation pad 21 and the breathable horizontal belt 11. Then, the bottom plate 12 is slightly bent and deformed according to the user's needs to make the breathable horizontal belt 11 fit the user's foot more closely.

[0039] The specific usage of this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] During use, a breathable separation pad 21 and a breathable transverse belt 11 are provided according to the user's needs. If the user is a patient with a single deformed toe, the breathable separation pad 21 can be separated from the breathable transverse belt 11 and used separately by the patient with a single deformed toe; if the user is a patient with polydactyly, a corresponding number of breathable separation pads 21 are selected according to the number of the user's toes, and are fixedly connected to the breathable transverse belt 11 and provided to the user.

[0041] After the breathable separation pad 21 is inserted into the toe gap of the user, the bottom plate 12 can be slightly adjusted according to the condition of the user's sole, so that the breathable horizontal belt 11 fits the user's sole better, thereby improving the user's experience and comfort.
