An orthodigital device is made from a moldable silicone compound which allows the quick fabrication of interdigital wedges, separators, dorsal toe protectors, and orthodigital splints. These devices can be mixed, shaped, and set in less than 5 min, and they are washable, nontoxic, nonirritating to skin.

The material is smooth, soft, and easily kneadable, which—after adding the catalyst hardening paste/curing agent—achieves a putty-like consistency. After 4–5 min, the device will harden into its permanent form and can then be applied to the athlete’s foot, and simple modifications can be made by cutting or grinding.

Orthodigital devices provide a customizable fit and allow portability (they can be made in an office-setting, in the athletic training room, or even on the sideline). Orthodigital devices provide superior durability versus athletic taping, and they are reusable, washable, and can be removed and reapplied.
