  • Patent number: 11819441
    Abstract: The splint kit provides a sealed splint, bandaging, and a water source for setting the splint. Different kits may be needed depending upon the size of the user to which the splint will be applied. The kits may also vary according to the body part to be set. The size of each splint is based upon the size of the user and the size of the body part(s) to be splinted to eliminate the need for the user to size the splint. The splint is self-contained in its own packaging to maintain the integrity of the splint. The fiberglass/hardening material is encased by a foam material and/or felt to further simplify the process of applying and setting the splint.

  • Patent number: 5794769
    Abstract: A condom carrier comprises a flexible loop having a liquid-impermeable pocket for carrying a condom. The pocket has an opening along one edge that may be sealed with a condom in the pocket and unsealed to remove the condom from the pocket. In some embodiments the liquid-impermeable pocket is mounted directly to the inside or the outside of the loop, and in others the loop has a primary pocket inside or outside the loop, and the liquid impermeable secondary pocket fits into the primary pocket. The liquid impermeable pocket has a user-operable seal along one edge that may be opened to insert a condom and closed to contain the condom without leakage of any liquid placed in the liquid-impermeable pocket along with the condom. The user-operable seal is a quick-release seal that may be operated to open with one hand, typically with pressure from one or two fingers.
