A pad assembly, system and method of securing a patient onto an operating table when the patient is in the Trendelenburg position. The pad assembly and system is used to support and hold a patient on a medical procedure table during a medical procedure performed while the table, and thus the patient lying thereon, is in an inclined position, such as the Trendelenburg position. The pad assembly and system has characteristics which promote improved securing to eliminate shifting and/or sliding due to gravitational forces when the patient's body is in the Trendelenburg position, as well as promote a secure holding of the patient in a desired position on the table, in order to minimize injury to the patient. The pad assembly and system further has improved channels to allow for drainage of fluids that may otherwise be trapped between the patient's body and the OR Table during the surgical procedure.

A disability standing device has a mounting bracket with strap holes, arm rests, an ankle clamp assembly, wheels with locks, a support rod, grip handles, a grip bar and a latch. The mounting bracket has a rear supporting frame, a front supporting frame, arms rests for the user, grip bars for the assistant to push the device for mobility and a latch to latch the backrest onto the support rod. The backrest has bordering holes for stability strap insertion and is connected pivotally to the rear supporting frame. The backrest includes a grip bar placed on the backside close to the top to be grasped by an assistant to pull the user in the downward or upward position they desire. The ankle clamp assembly is securely connected to the backrest to clamp a person’s ankles. The support rod is mounted on the rear supporting frame of the mounting bracket at a position opposite to the ankle clamp assembly and slightly higher.

A patient transport apparatus transports a patient over a floor surface. The patient transport apparatus comprises a support structure and support wheels coupled to the support structure. An auxiliary wheel is coupled to the support frame to influence motion of the patient transport apparatus over a floor surface. The auxiliary wheel is movable to a deployed position with the auxiliary wheel engaging the floor surface and a stowed position with the auxiliary wheel spaced a distance from the floor surface. An actuator assembly including a lift actuator a biasing device, and a biasing load adjustment assembly. The lift actuator is operable to move the auxiliary wheel to the deployed position and to the stowed position. The biasing device configured to bias the auxiliary wheel towards the deployed position. The biasing load adjustment assembly configured to adjust a biasing force being applied by the biasing device to the auxiliary wheel.

A patient support apparatus comprising a patient support deck operatively attached to a base with a deck section arranged for movement between first and second positions determined by a deck sensor. A first user interface comprises a screen configured to display visual content including a content portion having first and second content states. A second user interface comprises an access panel including a panel portion with a light module having first and second illumination states. A controller is configured to display the content portion in the first content state and to control the light module in the first illumination state when the deck sensor determines the deck section is in the first section position, and to display the content portion on the screen in the second content state and to control the light module in the second illumination state when the deck section is in the second position.

Embodiments of an inflatable transfer device including a top panel, a bottom panel coupled to the top panel to define an inflatable chamber therebetween, and a high-friction surface coupled to the top panel are disclosed. A top edge of each of the stringers is coupled to the top panel and a bottom edge of each of the stringers is coupled to the bottom panel. The high-friction surface is configured to maintain a patient in a fixed position when the inflatable transfer device and the patient are positioned at an angle with respect to a horizontal support surface.

The present invention discloses a changeable carrying device for human body based on posture changing which includes a base frame, a moving assembly, a first driving assembly and a carrying assembly for carrying a human body. The base frame has a sliding member capable of moving straight. The moving assembly is pivotally connected with the sliding member. The moving assembly includes a first rod and a crank with an end pivotally connected with the first rod and with an opposite end pivotally connected with the base frame. The first driving assembly drives the moving assembly to rotate relative to the base frame and to move together with the first sliding member.

An adjustable bed includes a fixed frame, an articulating frame supported on the fixed frame, first and second leg assemblies, and first and second actuators. The leg assemblies are configured to raise and lower the fixed frame between a lowered position and a raised position. The actuators are disposed and fully maintained within an interior volume of the fixed frame. The first actuator is fixedly secured at a first end to the head end of the fixed frame and operably coupled to the first leg assembly at a second end. The second actuator is fixedly secured at a first end to the foot end of the fixed frame and operably coupled to the second leg assembly at a second end. The first and second actuators are configured to exert a pulling force to raise the fixed frame and to exert a pushing force to lower the fixed frame.
