A set of post-surgical gross pathology specimen marking devices which may be used to identify various surfaces of pathology specimens is presented. The device includes a set of pathology specimen markers which are releasably attached to a holder. The markers disclosed are of various shapes and designs, and each includes a gripper element. The markers are designed such that the gripper element may be manipulated to allow a portion of a pathology specimen to be pinched, pierced, or clipped by the gripper element thereby attaching the marker to the specimen. The markers are designed so they may be manipulated by using a tool (such as forceps) to attach the specimen marker to a pathology specimen in a matter of seconds.

Post-surgical gross pathology specimen marker

The device of the present application is an adhesive surface marker comprising a gel sealed by a casing and membrane structure. The markers of the present invention can include a cavity for receiving imaging materials. The markers provide means for marking patients and diagnostic images taken of those patients through different methods including X-Ray, Computerized Tomography, Positron Emission Tomograph, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging among others, retain their shape and size, and do not suffer from water-loss which can lead to reduced density to certain radio-graphic modalities (e.g. MRI).

Radiographic multi-modality skin markers

A radiation therapy skin marking device which may be used to delineate a radiation therapy portal area on a patient's skin surface. The device includes a set of radiation therapy skin markers which are releasably attached to a backing liner and include an adhesive surface such that the markers may be releasably attached to a patient's skin surface. The markers include printed lines so as to facilitate radiation therapy treatments by more obviously defining a radiation therapy portal area. The markers include various shapes including, for example, a marker of substantially circular shape with a ninety degree wedge cut therefrom such that the marker may be used to outline a ninety degree corner and a marker of substantially circular shape with a circular cut-out center such that the marker is defined by a circular outer edge and a circular inner edge both of which circular edges share a common center point.

Radiation therapy skin markers

The device of the present application, an adhesive disk, relates to non-invasive multi-modality radiographic surface markers and provides means for marking patients and diagnostic images taken of those patients through different methods including X-Ray, Computerized Tomography, Positron Emission Tomograph, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging among others. The device of the present application also provides means for enabling the accurate location of internal structures of a patient.
