Abstract:
In order to avoid wrong site or wrong side surgery, it is customary and in some cases, mandated by law or policy, that a surgeon mark the anatomical site to be operated upon while the patient is awake and capable of concurring with the surgeon that the appropriate site has been identified. This article of manufacture provides a mechanism for performing this task easily and safely, by making a mark on the skin which will survive the surgical preparation, providing the surgeon with a visual confirmation of correct site surgery at the time of skin incision.
