SafeTouch™ Breast Lump Relocation Device
This is SafeTouch® ~ SafeTouch® is Peace of Mind
- SafeTouch takes some of the anxiety out of finding a breast lump
- SafeTouch makes it easy to map the breast lump once it is found
- SafeTouch gives you confidence the lump you find will be found again
1. What is SafeTouch?
SafeTouch is an easy to handle, thin, square, transparent plastic sheet with a radio-opaque numbered grid upon its upper surface.
The SafeTouch sheet can be marked with an indelible pen to indicate the location of palpated breast lesions.
2. Why should you use SafeTouch?
a. Use of SafeTouch improves patient care.
By using SafeTouch, you more accurately define the location of palpable breast lesions for documentation
purposes and for the next examiner. Communication between the patient, yourself, and subsequent examiners is improved.
b. Patient anxiety decreases once she has a `map' of her breast lesion in her hand.
c. The patient will become more of a participant in her care and not an `object being acted upon'.
She will have less explaining to do to the next examiner about the location of the lesion.
c. The largest malpractice risk for a primary care practitioner is the missing of a cancer diagnosis and the number one cancer missed is breast cancer.
Improving communication of discovered breast lesions benefits everyone.
d. Many centers are now pretreating breast cancers with chemotherapy and radiation prior to surgery.
Using SafeTouch is invaluable for mapping breast lesions prior to treatment with radiation/chemotherapy,
which might make the lesion more difficult to find.
For more information on the history of SafeTouch and instructions for proper use, please browse through our web site.

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dr. James D. Rusin M.D., MBA

Six months to live? I'll start a business
Determined to create a lasting legacy, this doctor reacted to his diagnosis in a less-than-conventional way.
I am a physician and I am a cancer patient, and I have to say that being a physician is a lot more fun.
In October 1998, I was practicing family medicine in a suburb of Minneapolis.
While lifting a bucket of my homemade beer, a stab of pain seared through my back.
I half expected to turn around and see someone holding a bloody knife. Since there wasn't anyone there,
I convinced myself I had strained a muscle. I took some Advil, used a heating pad, and tried to ignore the pain.
It was not to be ignored....

A new tool, an old battle
A doctor who is fighting his own cancer focuses on a product to help others
BY JENNIFER BJORHUS
Pioneer Press
Dr. James Rusin may not live to see his fledgling company, Rusin Medical Devices, listed on a stock exchange.
Drugs have subdued the cancer that destroyed one of his vertebrae, but left his hands and feet numb.
New drugs that might push the disease into remission are still a year away from market.
Rusin's faceoff with cancer has not shaken his hope that the startup company he launched shortly after his diagnosis in 1998 will help others struggling with the disease.
Rusin Medical sells a simple-to-use kit that helps women chart the location of breast lumps that may be cancerous.
