1. An x-ray stick marker for marking the skin of a patient, consisting of:
a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end; a marking tip disposed at the distal end of the shaft, the marking tip attached to an adjustable lever, the marking tip includes medical grade material that can leave a visible mark on a selected body location, wherein the marking tip is a sterile ink marker; a handle disposed at the proximal end of the shaft, the handle including an actuating button in communication with the adjustable lever; a ring member including a radiopaque material; a connecting piece, the connecting piece having a first end coupled to the actuating button and a second end coupled to the adjustable lever; and a resilient member, the resilient member having a first end coupled to the ring member and a second end coupled to the adjustable lever, wherein movement of the actuating button exerts force on the connecting piece, which, in turn, moves the adjustable lever away from the ring member, which, in turn, permits the resilient member to expand, thereby allowing the marking tip to move away from the ring and onto the patient's body. |
