The present invention relates to an adaptive hyperbaric oxygen chamber designed to function as a medical apparatus in order to treat a subject suffering from any FDA approved medical condition. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber is designed and constructed in such a way that only one subject can be allowed to sit in an upright seated position, unless the pediatric seat is occupied by a pediatric patient and the adult is seated in the standard seat to accompany the pediatric patient. The upright patient seat when treating a pediatric patient is in the extended position while the occupant enters and exits the mono medical hyperbaric oxygen chamber and the seat is returned to the fixed position inside the hyperbaric oxygen chamber while the overhead door is closed, the seat being operated by an extension device. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber is made, using additive manufacturing technology. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber provides two hundred to five hundred liters of one hundred percent oxygen per minute to the pressure vessel. A nitrogen scrubber is connected to a discharge air duct of this hyperbaric oxygen chamber that converts the oxygen being expelled through the air duct to one hundred percent nitrogen.

A wheeled nursing and medical device includes a wheeled seat mechanism, a driving module, a bed mechanism and a linking mechanism. The wheeled seat mechanism includes an expandable base frame and front and rear wheel assemblies. The driving module is operable to drive expanding and retraction of the expandable base frame. The bed mechanism includes a main bed plate and a backrest plate pivotally connected with the main bed plate. The linking mechanism includes at least one inclined bracket pivotally connected with the expandable base frame and the backrest plate. The device is shiftable between a bed state and a wheelchair state to render traveling of the device in the wheelchair state convenient.

A chair includes a frame unit including a seat frame, a leg rest that is pivotally mounted to the seat frame, and a rest adjusting mechanism that is connected between the leg rest and the seat frame. The rest adjusting mechanism is convertible between an unlocked state, where the leg rest is permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame, and a locked state, where the leg rest is not permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame.

A lifting belt assembly for lifting or repositioning a non-ambulatory person includes a belt that is slidable behind or beneath a non-ambulatory person that needs to be moved or repositioned. The belt is comprised of a friction inhibiting material to enhance sliding the belt behind or beneath the non-ambulatory person. The belt has a pair of gripping holes each extending therethrough to facilitate a caregiver to grip the belt for lifting or repositioning the non-ambulatory person. A set of first pads is each coupled to the belt and each of the first pads is aligned with a respective one of the gripping holes. A set of second pads is each coupled to the belt and each of the second pads is aligned with a respective one of the gripping holes.

A device that adapts/upgrades an existing, or new medical facility to provide a method of examining and treating occupants in a safe, efficient manner which is one quarter the size of conventional examination and treatment spaces through the use of a system that utilizes a modular frame and compartments to organize medical utilities, services and equipment to be more space efficient than conventional examination and treatment spaces. The frame and compartments have a shaped surface that focuses acoustic energy to increase intelligibility between a caregiver and the occupant and at the same time reduce ambient acoustic energy propagation. Additionally, the device can be disassembled, moved and reassembled easily. Further, the surface over the compartments creates a safety barrier between expensive and delicate utilities that mitigates tampering, accidental damage and reduces the possibility of infectious disease transmission.

The adjustable therapist table comprises a first lifting module, a second lifting module, and a brace panel. The brace panel may be coupled to the second lifting module. The brace panel may be coupled to the first lifting module via a hinge. The adjustable therapist table may be adapted to assist an operator in moving a patient during a medical examination or medical procedure. A plurality of air chambers located on the top surface of the first lifting module and on the top surface of the second lifting module may be adapted to inflate and deflate to move the patient in various directions. The second lifting module and the brace panel may be pivoted with respect to the first lifting module via the hinge. As non-limiting examples, a supine patient may be rolled to the left, rolled to the right, and lifted to a sitting position.

A support cushion to ameliorate the incidence of pressure ulcers, the support cushion comprising: an open or closed cell support structure; at least one cavity formed within the support structure; at least one vibrational device located within at least one of the cavities and imparting vibration to the support structure; a controller controlling operation of the vibrational device to adjust one or more of intensity, duration and location of vibrations in a predetermined manner according to one of a number of selected programmes, and at least one sensor adapted to map a pressure (weight) distribution map of a user. The support cushion may be adjustable in vibration intensity, duration, and location depending on the mapped pressure distribution. The mapped pressure distribution and history of vibrational intensity, duration, and location may also be logged for diagnosis and treatment purposes.

An apparatus for used to lift the torso of a human from a supine position to a sitting position. This is a lightweight apparatus which can be easily carried and placed on a bed or other flat surface. It is placed under the torso of the subject and includes a base, back rest and actuator. The back rest is pivotally coupled to the base and the actuator is used to rotate the back rest from a flat lying position to a vertical sitting position.

A patient positioning method constituted of: rotating a pelvis support member about a first axis; rotating the pelvis support member about a second axis, between a first position where the pelvis of a patient is supported by a first face of the pelvis support member and a second position where the pelvis of the patient is supported by a second face of the pelvis support member, the rotation being at least 180 degrees about the second rotation axis; and adjusting an angle between the pelvis support member and a torso support member between a first angle where the torso support member supports the torso of the patient when the pelvis is supported by the first face of the pelvis support member and a second angle where the torso support member supports the torso of the patient when the pelvis is supported by the second face of the pelvis support member.

A chair includes a frame unit including a seat frame, a leg rest that is pivotally mounted to the seat frame, and a rest adjusting mechanism that is connected between the leg rest and the seat frame. The rest adjusting mechanism is convertible between an unlocked state, where the leg rest is permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame, and a locked state, where the leg rest is not permitted to pivot relative to the seat frame.
