Abstract: A method and kit for the evaluation of wounds or ulcers (14) using ultrasound that allows an examiner to measure a wound (14) along with adjacent soft tissue structures (16) and bone (22) including tendon, ligaments, and muscle. This same method and kit contains gel (30) and an adhesive flexible film (32) which has a duo function and serves as a protective barrier preventing cross contamination between transducer (10) and ulcer (14), while allowing unimpeded conduction of ultrasound transmission to tissues (16) and subsequent echoes received from tissues (16) to be evaluated and recorded by a health care practitioner.

Abstract: A disinfection rack to mount, organize, display, and sterilize vials comprising of a reservoir (16) that contains disinfection fluid, which travels along a plurality of wicks (24) into a disinfection chamber (14), where the top of vials (28) remains in contact with the disinfecting fluid. Vials (28) are suspended by the top and neck within said disinfection chamber (14), and is stabilized by a spring (22) also contained within. The disinfection rack can be mounted by attaching a mounting plate (10) to a wall, cabinet, door, or other vertical surface allowing continuous visualization and sterilization of vials while in said disinfection chamber (14).

Abstract: A portable torso mounted signal device for communicating traffic directives to pedestrians, airport terminal, and vehicular traffic comprising of four strategically placed colored lenses on a board (10); board (10) is shaped in such a manner as to accommodate two lenses (12,14), circular in shape which are vertically positioned, a second pair of lenses arrow shaped (16,18), horizontally positioned on the face of the signal device. The device is self-contained in that a harness (60), power source (66), electrical circuits, and electrical switches (82) to control illumination of colored lenses are all fixed to this same board. Indicating lights (74) on the posterior surface inform the operator which lenses are illuminated during operation. The signal device is readily portable, requires no assembly, ready for immediate use.
