A tissue-protective device (16, 18, 20, 60, 66, 76, 86, 96, 110, 130) and a method for protecting tissue against abrasion by attaching a pair of mutually overlying membranous layers (26, 28, 122, 124) to an area of a tissue surface such as a person's skin with only the peripheries of the layers interconnected with each other, so that the layers can easily slip along each other. An absorbent pad (88, 98) may be placed between one of the layers and the tissue, and may be impregnated with medication to be delivered to the tissue being protected. A quantity of a lubricant can be contained between the layers. The device is thin, to avoid causing pressure when it is used in restricted spaces, as within one's shoe. The device can also be implanted internally as where tendons move along an implanted plate.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de protection de tissus (16, 18, 20, 60, 66, 76, 86, 96, 110, 130) et un procédé de protection de tissus contre l'abrasion, consistant à attacher une paire de couches membranaires se chevauchant l'une l'autre (26, 28, 122, 124) sur une zone d'une surface tissulaire, telle que la peau d'une personne, au moyen seulement de la périphérie des couches reliées entre elles, de façon que ces couches puissent glisser facilement le long l'une de l'autre. On a placé un coussinet absorbant (88, 98) entre une des couches et le tissu, et on l'a imprégné d'un médicament à administrer au tissu ainsi protégé. Les couches peuvent contenir entre elles plusieurs lubrifiants. Ce dispositif est mince, afin d'éviter de provoquer une pression lorsqu'on l'utilise dans des espaces restreints, comme dans une chaussure. On peut également implanter ce dispositif de manière interne, comme à l'endroit où les tendons se déplacent le long d'une plaque implantée.
