X-Ray Identification Marker
US Patent:
5193106, Mar 9, 1993
Filed:
Aug 28, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/573897
Inventors:
Danforth DeSena - Cape Elizabeth ME
International Classification:
H05G 128
US Classification:
378163
Abstract:
A device for marking cutaneous landmarks as a means of identifying under x-radiography pathological deep structures of the small bones of the foot that comprises affixing a radiopaque material to an adhesive tape and placing the radiopaque material over a cutaneous landmark on a patient's foot and then x-raying the highlighted area. The radiopaque material is formed into any one of a variety of shapes, such as a circle, triangle or square, so as to provide a marker that completely encompasses the cutaneous landmark. A series of such markers is affixed to a roll of tape with an adhesive backing, or provided in pre-cut form, for ease of dispensation and attachment to the patient's foot.
Apparatus And Process For Making A Mold Of The Foot, Ankle, And Lower Leg
US Patent:
5578260, Nov 26, 1996
Filed:
Oct 6, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/319151
Inventors:
Danforth DeSena - Cape Elizabeth ME
International Classification:
B29C 3340
US Classification:
264223
Abstract:
A system and method for making an impression of a foot, an ankle, and a lower leg to be used in the fabrication of custom-made shoes. The system has a molding component made of a compressible foam or a combination of compressible foams made into prefabricated pieces, and a protective component made of plastic, cardboard, or other disposable material enclosing the molding component. The protective component may be securely affixed to the molding component and is designed to be used for mailing or storing the foot-ankle-lower leg impression.
X-Ray Labeling Tape
US Patent:
6198807, Mar 6, 2001
Filed:
Jun 11, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/330861
Inventors:
Danforth DeSena - Cape Elizabeth ME
International Classification:
H05G 128
US Classification:
378165
Abstract:
A marking tape for transferring information written thereon to a film when the film is exposed to x-rays. The tape is a laminate of an upper film, a radiopaque emulsion, and a lower film. The top surface of the upper film is partially coated with a writable ink, and the ink coating positioned directly over the radiopaque emulsion. Pressure exerted by the user while writing on the ink surface causes the underlying emulsion to part. When the marking tape is affixed to a film cassette, x-rays penetrate the marking tape in those areas where the emulsion has been parted, the underlying film is exposed, and the information entered on the marking tape is thereby transferred to the film. The marking tape can be made in different sizes and radiopacities that can be distinguished by color-coding the writable surface.
Surgical Sock
US Patent:
2002011, Aug 22, 2002
Filed:
Feb 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/785326
Inventors:
Danforth DeSena - Cape Elizabeth ME, US
International Classification:
A61F013/00
US Classification:
602/061000, 602/060000
Abstract:
A surgical sock for covering a bandaged foot. The sock includes a forefoot region, a foot region, and an ankle region. The forefoot region, the foot region, or a combination of the two has a dimension greater than that of the ankle region in order to accommodate a bandaged foot without undue constriction or excessive wrinkling. The ankle region may have greater elasticity than the other regions so that it expands enough to accept the bandaged foot while retaining enough grasping strength to keep it in place about the ankle. The sock is fabricated with a hydrophobic fiber, a bacteriostatic fabric, or both to aid in moisture wicking, to minimize the chance of post-operative infection, and to minimize overheating.
