Abstract: A cooking device for cooking both a stick-mounted food item and a fluid batter. The cooking device including a pair of opposed cooking plates that receive the food item and batter in a reservoir. The reservoir includes raised and recessed surfaces that imprint a recognizable design, shape, or indicia on the outer surface of the cooked batter. The cooking plates are rotatable together about a central axis to allow the batter to flow around the food item as the batter and food item cook.

Abstract: A medical diabetes treatment boot can be equipped with a cushion placed inside the boot against an upper rear portion of the boot, to promote flotation support for the wearer's ankle when the cushion includes a soft midsection panel adapted to engage the ankle rear surface; a deformable fluid-containing pouch is removably disposed in a hollow interior space within the panel to provide ankle support. The pouch can be removed through a rear access opening that is normally closed by a zipper closure.

Abstract: A medical boot for protecting a user's foot has a bottom covering formed of a continuous loop material. A detachable, flexible external trilaminate sole has an upper layer of a continuous fabric loop material engageable with the bottom of the boot, a bottom layer of a ground-engaging material, and an intermediate layer of a resilient foam.

Abstract: A protective boot for patients with arterial disease has an insole formed with a heat activated material to from a permanent impression of the bottom of the patient's foot.

Abstract: A medical boot comprising a relatively soft boot component having a foot portion and a leg portion, and a relatively hard plastic splint formed with a foot portion and a leg portion. The foot portion of the splint is mounted inside the boot and the leg portion of the splint is outside the rear surface of the boot. Releasable fastening means connect the splint to the rear surface of the boot.

Abstract: A medical boot includes a two piece boot body consisting of a lower flexible panel forming the sole portion of the boot body, and an annular flexible upper body joined to the peripheral edge of the lower panel so as to form a soft flexible protective wall around the toe and heel areas of the wearer's foot. Each panel includes a resilient foam core, an inner fabric covering on one face of the foam core, and an outer fabric covering on the other face of the foam core. The inner fabric covering has a relatively soft short nap surface having wicking properties for capturing perspiration that may accumulate on the wearer's foot. The outer fabric covering is a fibrous fastener material containing repeating contiguous miniature loops capable of interlocking connection with fastener patches carried by two strap formed integrally with the upper panel, such that the straps are enabled to hold the boot on the wearer's foot.

Abstract: A protective medical boot for treating or avoiding decubitus ulcers has an outer leg covering formed with a pair of cover panels having their seams hot-stamped together to provide a soft edge. An orthotic splint has a leg portion that is supported adjacent the back of the patient's leg, and a foot portion that supports the sole of the patient's foot. A heel device connects the leg portion to the foot portion at a selected angle with respect to the leg portion. A pneumatically-operated bladder is disposed between the foot portion and the patient's foot to provide a very fine adjustment of the angle of the patient's foot to his leg to assist in preventing or treating contracture of the patient's foot.

Abstract: A soft medical boot having an articulated splint bar for adjusting the angle of the foot of a patient disposed in a supine position.

Abstract: A protective boot for patients with arterial disease. The boot includes a separate fluid-containing cushion which can be attached in a variety of positions on or in the boot to provide support for the patient's foot and leg when bed-ridden.

Abstract: A medical boot apparatus for use during treatment and healing of a vascular or other foot disorder. The apparatus includes a main body portion having an upper front opening and open toe portion, and a sole portion formed with a forward rim for protecting the toes. A raised heel cord portion is formed along an inner rear surface of the main body portion so as to support the back of a bedridden patient's leg such that the heel is elevated with no pressure exerted thereagainst. At least one fluid cushioning member is provided at the raised heel cord portion so as to cushion the back leg portion of the patient. The boot includes particular features designed to protect the foot under both bedridden and ambulatory conditions, and affords protection from trauma, abrasions, decubitus ulcer formation, moisture accumulation, external pressures, heat loss, etc.
