Multi-layer cushion supports are described which may generally comprise a first support having a first contact surface for contacting a portion of a body and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the first support defining a central chamber and a peripheral chamber surrounding the central chamber, wherein the first support is filled with a first gas or liquid and a second support attached to the first support along the first contact surface. The second support may be filled with a second gas or liquid which is relatively more viscous than the first gas or liquid. In particular, the first support may be filled with a volume of air and the second support may be filled with oil which is less than the volume of air.

A support device has a main support surface for a person's body, including an auxiliary device influencing the main support surface shape. The auxiliary device includes: a group of supports supporting the main support surface, positioned on the side of the main support surface facing away from the body-supporting side, the supports each including a sub-support surface; an adjuster for each sub-support surface influencing the height of each sub-support surface. The device also includes a monitor for each sub-support surface monitoring the height of the respective sub-support surface; and a programmable control unit controlling the adjuster. The supports include an elastically bendable plate connected to the adjuster. The bending plate is connected to the sub-support surface to influence its height depending on the extent of bending imposed by the adjuster. The adjuster includes an electromotor on the concave side of the bending plate.

The present disclosure relates to medical pads and methods of manufacturing medical pads.

A three-dimensional net-like structure is provided that has a soft cushioning property and less variations of hardness and is less expensive.

The three-dimensional net-like structure is made from a thermoplastic resin including a mixture of a polypropylene copolymer (a) and a polypropylene copolymer (b) and has a spring structure formed by bonding continuous filaments partly in random in loops. The polypropylene copolymer (a) has a flexural modulus that is different from a flexural modulus of the polypropylene copolymer (b).

A lifting pad to be used with a wheelchair in order to provide additional comfort to a user is disclosed herein. The lifting pad comprises a cover with a seat portion and a backrest portion. The lifting pad also comprises a first slot formed in the seat portion and a second slot formed in the backrest portion in order to receive inserts such as foam inserts which are to provide comfort to a user. The lifting pad further comprises at least one foam insert arranged inside each of the first slot and the second slot found on the cover. The lifting pad is adapted to be placed on a seat to provide support and comfort to a user seated thereon.

An improved positioning device (the DEVICE) comprises a new and unique concave angulated device for at least one of, but not limited to, stretching, supporting, bracing, rehabilitating, positioning, massaging, kneading, scratching, or exercising a body of a user. The DEVICE's new concave angulated and more user friendly surface addresses the need for a more anatomically responsive body positioning DEVICE for achieving improved results relative to, among other things, the above uses. This DEVICE includes multiple embodiments, which also may comprise various possible configurations, that enable the DEVICE to also function as a fulcrum or lever and/or be capable of uniquely dispersing a load during the interaction between the user and the DEVICE.

A seat for a mobility device accommodating flexibility, personalized comfort, and transportability. The seat can include a button push means to enable movement of a height-adjustable armrest. The seat back can fold upon the seat for transportability. The seat cushion and armrest cushion can be removably mounted and separately replaceable. The seat can be mounted upon various types of devices, including, but not limited to, wheelchairs.

A thermoelectric device comprising an elongated panel of two foam layers, and having an inserted thermoelectric string is incorporated into a seat cushion, planting pot, and battery thermal manager. Several enhancements to the string and the panel improve its durability, visual appeal, and tactile appeal over the prior art.

Provided is a cushion including a pad, an envelope, and a support pad set. The pad has a sunken portion. The envelope is disposed on the pad. The envelope has a pocket-shaped body. A plurality of coupling portions is disposed at edges of the body. The support pad set includes an upper foam pad, a lower foam pad, and a soft gel pad. The support pad set is disposed in the body of the envelope.
