Bunion pain relief without surgery can be achieved by gently protecting the bunion with the Silipos Bunion Gel Sleeve. Anatomically designed to comfortably conform to the shape of the bunion. Mineral oil gel pad cushions, protects and reduces pressure on the affected area. These pads can also be used to protect the tissue after surgery. The sleeve cradles and protects painful, sensitive bunions, preventing irritation from abrasion and pressure and provides mild compression to reduce scar formation.
