Apparatus and method for covering a Hoyer Lift sling
An assembly and a method for covering a Hoyer Lift sling. The sling assembly includes a cover positioned over a top side of a Hoyer lift sling. The cover has a hole therethrough which is positioned over the hole of the sling. A retaining sheet is attached to the cover and also has a hole therethrough which is positioned in alignment with the hole of the sling. In addition, a pad having a corresponding hole therethrough is preferably positioned between the sling and the cover. At least a portion of the retaining sheet is received through the hole of the pad and through the hole of the sling so that this portion of the retaining sheet is positioned beneath the bottom side of the sling. The cover on top of the sling and the portion of the retaining sheet beneath the sling each extend beyond the width of the sling and have outer edge portions which are attached together so that the sling and the pad are thereby retained between the cover and the retaining sheet.
HYGIENIC LINER FOR MEDICAL INFANT RESTRAINT DEVICE
A liner for an infant holder having at least one recess includes a body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of sidewalls extending between the lower surface and the upper surface. The lower surface and the plurality of sidewalls define at least one cavity receivable within the at least one recess of the infant holder.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LIFTING AND POSITIONING A PATIENT
An inflatable device for lifting a patient includes an inflatable body having a top sheet and a bottom sheet attached along opposing side edges and forming at least one cavity there between, and a plurality of connecting members extending outwardly from the opposing side edges of the inflatable device. The inflatable device is configured to be inflated while being lifted by the hoist.
Water therapy system and device
A water therapy system, including a therapy chair with a tiltable backrest portion, and a foot tub, including a water bucket and an inclined ramp, such that a patient can be lying in the therapy chair with lower legs and feet extended into the water bucket, such that an inclination angle of the inclined ramp ensures a comfortable seating position. Also disclosed is an inclined ramp for holding a water bucket for use in reflexology therapy, including an inclined surface and a base, such that the inclined surface is configured to hold a water bucket.
Portable hyperbaric chamber device with forward-facing door
A portable hyperbaric chamber device with forward-facing door includes a frame, an inflatable chamber, a dump valve, at least one primary pressure relief valve, at least one secondary pressure relief valve, a plurality of fill valves. Access to the inflatable chamber is gain through a door panel of the inflatable chamber. The inflatable chamber is positioned within and secured to the frame. The plurality of fill valves is in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber so that the inflatable chamber can be pressured for usage. The dump valve is in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber to deflate the inflatable chamber. The primary pressure relief valve and the secondary pressure relief valve are in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber to maintain a safe internal pressure within the inflatable chamber to protect wellbeing of the users and the structural integrity of the complete apparatus.
Turning air mattress, turning air cell, and control method for air mattress
The present invention discloses a turning air mattress, a turning air cell, and a control method for a turning air mattress. With structural arrangements of an upper portion and a lower portion of the turning air cell as well as inflation and deflation control, the turning air cell having an upper portion that is wider and a lower portion that is narrower can further assist a patient in body turning, enabling the patient to easily achieve a sufficient body turning angle, further reducing the risk of likeliness to pressure sores caused by the structure of the air mattress pressing against the body of the patient.
Apparatus and method for positioning a patient
A patient positioning system includes an inflatable patient support device and a positioning apparatus. The positioning apparatus includes a wedge-shaped body configured to be placed under the support device to support a patient in a desired position and a tail including an elongated piece of material extending from the wedge-shaped body.
HOOKLESS SHOWER CURTAIN WITH SEAMLESS SNAP-ON LINER
In some implementations, a hookless shower curtain with seamless snap-on liner (“seamless liner shower curtain”) comprises a curtain and an attachable (e.g., snap-on) liner. In some implementations, a method of using the seamless liner shower curtain comprises attaching the liner to the curtain and using the seamless liner shower curtain as a shower curtain.
Method for cleaning and sterilizing excreta handling device and excreta handling device using same
A method for cleaning and sterilizing an excreta handling device includes: positioning one end and the other end of the suction pipe on the same line; driving the pump to supply the cleaning water to a preset water level in the inner space through the first nozzle part; and maintaining, for a predetermined time, a state in which the cleaning water has been supplied to the preset water level, and then driving the suction part to suck the cleaning water contained in the inner space.
NURSING-CARE DEVICE
Provided is a nursing-care device capable of easily moving a care-requiring person from the nursing-care device to medical/nursing-care equipment arranged at the side of a bed. One embodiment of the present invention includes a bed body having a floor portion at an upper surface, one and the other support bases supporting both ends of the bed body, support rods extending upward of the floor portion, and a lifting/lowering unit configured to lift/lower the bed body and the support rods. A lifting member is attached to the support rods. The support rods are lowered in a case where the bed body is lifted by the lifting/lowering unit, and are lifted in a case where the bed body is lowered. In a case where the support rods are lowered, the lowermost portion of the lifting member is moved to below the floor portion of the bed body.
