Abstract: A garment for a weak or paralyzed patient has handholds to assist a caregiver in moving or positioning the patient. The garment may have a double tail that is passed through the crotch of the patient and fastened on the front of the garment. The tail has left and right portions that pass on opposite sides of the patient's genitals to prevent discomfort caused by compression of the genitals. In another embodiment of the invention, short trousers have a cutout in the crotch area to prevent discomfort to a male patient. The garment includes handholds on an upper front portion of the garment so the patient can be pulled forward to position pillows behind the patient. One construction of the handholds includes dowels forming rigid members to facilitate gripping by a caregiver.

Abstract: A dressing for a penis includes a sleeve bandage portion with outwardly extending securement straps. Fastening material can be affixed to the distal ends of the securement straps. The sleeve bandage portion can be configured to be placed on the circumcised penis so as to sheath the penis. After the sleeve bandage is placed on the penis, the dressing can be secured in place by diametrically wrapping the securement straps around the sleeve bandage by engaging the fastening material on the securement straps to the surface of the sleeve bandage. The bandage can be packaged in a hygienically sealed foil package openable at a top edge which allows the bandage to be removed with a minimal amount of handling. Topical antibiotics and anesthetics, as well as petroleum jelly, can be incorporated into the sleeve bandage.

Abstract: A garment with handholds and a design and structure adapting it to be worn by an invalid person to facilitate necessary moving of the wearer by caregivers with minimal discomfort and risk of injury to both.

Abstract: Apparatus, kit and method for painting a marbleized pattern on an essentially flat interior surface using paints with a plurality of colors. Before beginning the process, if necessary, the surface is cleaned and prepared. This can include applying masking tape around the periphery of the area to be painted. Splotches of paint of one color are then applied to a portion of the total area to be painted using a stiff bristled brush. Splotches of other paint colors are then applied interspersed with the previous colors. The brush is then used to preliminarily blend the various splotches of paint. A special blending tool faced with wool is used to complete blending the paint. The wool face is moistened before use, and blending is completed by patting the paint with the wool face of the tool while changing the angles and locations of the tool between each contact. Accent veining lines can be added to the blended paint surface using a feather dipped into a paint of a different color than the blended surface.
