InventHelp Inventor Develops Improved Sock for External Fixator (MHO-515)

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 11, 2026 — "I wanted to create an improved sock that would be used by people with external fixation devices on their feet to help keep them warm and comfortable," said an inventor, from Danville, Va., "so I invented THE X SOCK. My design prevents the foot and toes from getting cold, and it eliminates the need to struggle with traditional socks and blankets."

The patent-pending invention provides an effective means of keeping the foot and toes warm while using an external fixator. In doing so, it offers an alternative to traditional socks that do not fit over an external fixator. As a result, it increases comfort and convenience. The invention features a practical, durable, lightweight, and adjustable design that is easy to attach, use, and remove. Additionally, it is ideal for individuals required to use an external fixator due to an injury, patients in hospitals, nursing homes, etc.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
