Benefits of technology

The present invention is a bunion correction footwear device that provides convenience for users to treat or relieve pain or discomfort caused by bunions. The device includes a primary bladder that is defined by a primary bladder member and has a primary cavity between them. The primary bladder is connected to a primary pump through primary tubing, and the primary pump has a primary actuator that can provide air to the primary cavity when engaged. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a comfortable and convenient solution for users who are looking to treat or manage bunions.

Problems solved by technology

This condition may be caused by an individual wearing tight shoes or traumatic situations that otherwise create foot stress.
Even a mild case of bunions may result in a significant amount of pain for the patient.
Pain medications are generally not intended for long-term use and the padding and inserts used to address the bunions may not be comfortable for the patient.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Reference is made herein to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to depict like or similar elements of the bunion correction footwear device. The figures are intended for representative purposes only and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.

[0013]Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a top down view of an embodiment of the bunion correction footwear device. The footwear correction device 10 comprises a primary bladder 11. The primary bladder 11 is defined by at least one primary bladder member. The primary bladder member, or primary bladder members, define a primary cavity between themselves. The primary bladder 11 is made of a non-porous, air-tight material, such that air may be secured in the primary bladder 11.

[0014]The primary bladder 11 is in operable connection with a primary pump 12. The primary bladder 11 is connected to the primary pump 12 via a primary tubing 13. As such, air can pass from the primary pum...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 942,509 filed on Dec. 2, 2019. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a bunion correction footwear device. More specifically, the present invention provides an implementable footwear device and system for assisting in the treatment and relief of the pain associated with bunions.[0003]Bunions are a deformity of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint that manifests as a bony projection that extends, or juts, laterally from a patient's foot from the big toe. These types of projections cause the big toe to be oriented such that it points towards the other toes. This condition may be caused by an individual wearing tight shoes or traumatic situations that otherwise create foot stress. Additionally, arthritis or other pre...
