Publication number: 20220160456Abstract: An imaging marker comprises a flexible, axially-elongated line-shaped marker, an underlying adhesive, and a flexible, axially-elongated foam spacer extending between an underside of the line-shaped marker and the adhesive. The line-shaped marker is partially radiopaque, partially radiolucent, or is radiopaque, and the foam spacer and adhesive are radiolucent at the levels of radiation used during an imaging procedure. The marker and foam spacer flex and substantially conform to a curvilinear contour of the skin, follow the curvilinear contour of a scar or other anatomical feature on the skin, and prevent forces exerted thereon in flexibly conforming to and following the curvilinear counters from detaching the adhesive from the skin during the imaging procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2021Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Mark Broyles, Yuanxiong Luo, Allison Ostrout, Maeghan E.

Patent number: 11278740Abstract: A cover for protecting a temporary mark on a person's skin includes a transparent layer and an associated opaque layer, wherein the opaque layer features an opening through which the temporary mark may be located as the cover is applied. An adhesive is superimposed upon the transparent layer in order to releasably affix the cover to the temporary mark, and also to permit maintaining the cover on a backing material during transportation or storage. During use, the mark is sighted through the transparent layer and the opening in the opaque layer, and applied to the patient's skin. The opaque layer is then removed from the transparent layer, which remains in place over the temporary mark, permitting the person to bathe or otherwise participate unhindered in his or her life's routines without smudging, wearing or removing the mark.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2008Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: BERKLEY CORPORATIONInventors: Maeghan E.

Publication number: 20210113392Abstract: An adhesive cover and method of use in which the cover is well-suited to effectively cover a temporary tattoo utilized in radiation therapy treatments. The cover includes a transparent, flexible layer with an optional rigid layer releasably adhered thereto. The first, flexible layer has a lower adhesive surface, an upper low-adhesion surface and a predefined peripheral edge. The second, rigid layer has a lower surface releasably adhered to the upper low-adhesion surface of the first layer, an opposing upper exposed surface, and a peripheral edge cooperative with the predefined peripheral edge of the first layer to preserve the integrity of the first layer during handling and application. The second layer is removed from the first layer only after the first layer is adhered to a patient's skin.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Inventor: Mark Broyles
