A patient maneuvering apparatus including a substantially planar body having a top surface, a bottom surface opposing the top surface, a left end, and a right end. The patient maneuvering apparatus also includes a first handle disposed at the left end of the body and a second handle disposed at the right end of the body, a mesh layer with a mesh layer thickness at least partially defining the bottom surface, a fabric layer of an absorbent material at least partially defining the top surface and with a fabric layer thickness, and a border spanning the perimeter of the body, surrounding the mesh and fabric layers, and with a border thickness greater than the mesh layer thickness and the fabric layer thickness.

Arm protector kits are disclosed. Methods of making and using arm protector kits are also disclosed.

A portable sanitary staging assembly is utilized to place an infant or a baby on while changing a diaper, or to stage an injured person or animal, such as for triage or emergency medical treatment in the field, or for a person or animal receiving medical attention outside of a typical medical environment. A portable sanitary staging assembly includes a sanitary paper dispenser assembly having a dispenser/protector tube dimensioned to receive sanitary paper therein, the dispenser/protector tube having a dispenser slot formed through a portion of the dispenser/protector tube to facilitate dispensing the sanitary paper. A sanitary pad assembly having a main sanitary pad is interconnected to a portion of the sanitary paper dispenser assembly. A cutter mechanism is affixed to a portion of the portable sanitary staging assembly to facilitate removal and disposal of soiled sanitary paper after use.

Embodiments are disclosed of a method of controlling timing and/or dosage of a transdermal drug patch. For example, a control device operative to move the patch to one or more of a plurality of operational relationships with a skin of a patient, including being fully engaged with the skin, partially engaged with the skin, and disengaged with the skin. The device may include a roller that peels a patch on and off the skin. Optionally a convention patch is used. In some embodiments a patch and/or an adaptor has a mobile zone and an immobile zone. In some embodiments, an active surface of the patch fully contacts the skin in an engaged state. For example the patch may be attached to the device on a passive portion thereof.
