Abstract:
A conformable pad (100) for use under an orthopedic brace includes an upper edge (101) having a straight dimension and a lower edge (108) having an uneven dimension with at least one wide section (101) and at least one narrow section (115). The pad (100) further includes a first edge (117) having a straight dimension and positioned adjacent to the at least one wide section (101) and a second edge (119) also having a straight dimension and positioned adjacent to the at least one narrow section (115) such that the first edge (117) is longer than the second edge (119). The invention is advantageous for use with orthopedic braces in order to prevent friction and irritation created by the brace against the user's skin.
