The present invention relates to a covering 10 for a body part of a patient. The covering 10 comprising a plurality of transparent semi rigid sheet segments 14, a fastener 20 for connecting the plurality of sheet segments 14 together such that the sheet segments 14 support each other to form a self-supporting structure 12. The self-supporting structure 12 being suitable for covering the body part of a patient, thereby protecting medical professionals from harmful fluids or aerosols emanating from the patient.

Various embodiments are described herein for mobile units having an interior defined by fewer than four side walls, the mobile units being adapted to be interconnected with at least one like or different mobile unit, the at least one like or different mobile unit having fewer than four side walls, thereby to jointly form a large interior room with a longitudinal support structure for the roof structure of at least one of the mobile units.

A protective device to protect against pathogens comprises a protective housing that defines an interior space defined, a closable access opening to enter the interior space, a seating element that allows a passenger to sit in the interior space, and a chassis to move the protective device, wherein the protective device, in a closed state, seals the interior space in an airtight manner against an environment. A method to protect against pathogens comprises providing a protective device to a passenger, closing the protective device in an airtight manner, and moving the protective device. The protective device and/or the method may be used to protect a patient.

The present disclosure relates to a tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic, and more particularly, to a mobile infectious disease clinic, which is a tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic that makes it possible to promptly install a large number of mobile infectious disease clinics due to having mobility and being easy to install and remove, that allows a test subject to be tested by a healthcare provider using an infectious disease test kit while the test subject is isolated in the tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic, the healthcare provider is outside the tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic, and exposure of the body parts is minimized, that performs sterilization of an infectious disease using an ultraviolet C (UV-C) lamp to reduce the time taken for disinfecting the clinic, and that allows the light radiation intensity of the UV-C lamp to be adaptively adjusted according to the body temperature of the test subject.

A DAP unweighting system for unweighting a user while using an exercise machine is provided that includes an unweighting assembly having a substantially airtight chamber formed about at least a portion of the exercise machine that includes a user seal for encapsulating a portion of the user, and at least one additional frame member for securing to the exercise machine frame element to secure the chamber to the exercise machine. The exercise machine can include a treadmill having a belt extending a belt length in a longitudinal direction of the unweighting system The at least one additional frame member can have a frame member length less than the belt length that can be oriented substantially parallel with the belt when securing the chamber to the treadmill.

The present disclosure relates to a booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic, and more particularly, to a mobile infectious disease clinic, which is a booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic which makes it possible to assemble and disassemble a large number of mobile infectious disease clinics, that allows a test subject to be tested by a healthcare provider using an infectious disease test kit while exposure of the body parts is minimized and the healthcare provider and the test subject are isolated in the booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic, that performs sterilization of an infectious disease using an ultraviolet C (UV-C) lamp to reduce the time taken for disinfecting the clinic, and that allows the light radiation intensity of the UV-C lamp to be adaptively adjusted according to the body temperature of the test subject.

A collapsible air isolation apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a collapsible frame including a base and a set of rigid panel elements at least partially enclosing a volume of space, where the set of rigid panel elements is foldably hinged to at least one of the base or another of the rigid panel elements, and where at least one panel of the set of rigid panel elements comprises an open space for mounting a motor for moving air. The apparatus may include the motor for moving air configured to create a negative pressure within the volume of space of the collapsible frame.

Implementations of a respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprise a side surface, an upper surface, and one or more access openings and ventilation openings, and in some implementations may further comprise a lower surface. In some implementations, a method of using the respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprises positioning and enclosing a patient with an infectious disease in the respiratory enclosure to respiratorily isolate the patient and prevent the spread of the disease from the patient to healthcare providers or other persons.

An isolation hood for respiratory treatment is disclosed. The isolation hood may include a head enclosure defining an interior volume configured to receive the head of a patient, and a neck seal configured to couple the head enclosure to a neck of the patient. The isolation hood may include an inlet port configured to be coupled to a distal end of a treatment source tube and to a first end of a treatment delivery tube, and an outlet port configured to be coupled to an inline particle filter configured to permit air to flow through the head enclosure. The neck seal and the inline particle filter are each configured to prevent viral/bacterial aerosolization outside the hood. The inlet and outlet ports may be attached to respiratory tubing and non-invasive ventilatory equipment to permit aerosol-generating procedures within the hood while preventing viral/bacterial aerosolization outside the hood.

A robot and a system for a medical operation of corona viruses e.g., COVID-19 sampling are provided. The robot includes a resilient connector, connecting plates connected with the resilient connector, stretchable and retractable assemblies, a driving assembly and a flexible sampling assembly; two ends of the stretchable and retractable assembly are respectively connected with adjacent two connecting plates, the stretchable and retractable assembly includes stretchable and retractable components divided into at least two stretchable and retractable groups and arranged around the resilient connector, the driving assembly drive the stretchable and retractable component to be switchably stretched or retracted, the flexible sampling assembly is configured to collect COVID-19 specimens of respiratory tract. The robot can be bent and moved freely in special-shaped human respiratory tract, realize secretions sampling of human respiratory tract and reduce pain and difficulty of examination.
