To provide an autoclavable swab, a fibrous applicator pad is formed with a narrow slit and a handle with a plurality of barb means extending away from its longitudinal axis and from a first end toward a second end. The opening is sufficient in size to receive the first end of the handle and the adjacent portion through at least 25 percent of the applicator pad, whereby the barbs, once inserted, engage the applicator pad material within the opening to resist removal of the handle.

Swab and method of manufacturing and using it

A brush applicator includes inner and outer shells with a cylindrical brush mounted to the inner shell in a cylindrical groove rimmed by clamping means that are compressed against the brush when the outer shell is forced over the inner shell.

To support a foot, a special shoe is adapted to receive a flat flexible member having a first fastening means on one end thereof, whereby it may be fastened to a shoe. The shoe has first, second, third and fourth fastening means attached thereto. The second and third fastening means are positioned on opposite sides of the medial plane of the arch of the shoe and are spaced from each other within a range of one-half to four inches; the first and fourth fastening means being positioned within a range of one-eighth to two inches upwardly from a sole and within a range of one-half to three inches of a heel, whereby they are located lower than the arch of the shoe and within a range from the arch of one-half to three inches. The flat flexible member has a second fastening means on a second side, whereby one of said first and second fastening means may be fastened to a shoe over the arch of the foot and the other fastened to a location on the shoe near the sole adjacent to the heel. The strap between said first fastening means and second fastening means has a length of between three inches and eight inches. The first fastening means is a hook and loop fastening means having an area of between three and six square inches.
