A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883247B2) discloses a multi-part medical marker designed for tracking purposes. The marker consists of a spherical core made up of two parts that are fitted together, with a detectable surface created from a retro-reflective laminar material applied to the outer surfaces of these parts. The cutting edges resulting from trimming the rims of the parts and the laminar material serve as abutting edges, ensuring a secure fit. Additionally, the marker includes an extension with a handling section and a recess with an internal thread for attaching to other objects for tracking purposes.

Furthermore, the patent details variations of the medical marker, including different configurations of the spherical core and the retro-reflective laminar material. The laminar material is described as an elastic textile material with aluminum metallization and microscopic glass spheres. The markers also feature extensions with handling sections and recesses with internal threads for attachment. These markers are designed for selective attachment to objects to be tracked, providing a versatile and reliable tracking solution in medical settings.
