A remote management, control and alert system for a medical air alternation mattress provided in the present disclosure comprises an integration and connection between internal and external devices/units. An internal pressure control device connected with at least one air inflation/deflation unit which connects with a plurality of air cushion units in an air mattress for regulated pressure of the air cushion units in the air mattress through the air inflation/deflation unit in a controlled manner; furthermore, the pressure control device is further connected with a manipulation device to operate or analyze the data processing device through the manipulation device, for controlled regulation of pressures in all parts of the air mattress. These aforementioned internal devices/units are then in turn connected to and integrated with an external managing device allowing the user to control, monitor and receive alert notifications for the entire integrated system or systems to which it is connected.

A support pad comprises a first surface layer, a second surface layer and an airbag structure. The first surface layer is disposed on the first surface of the support pad. The second surface layer is disposed on the second surface of the support pad and connected to the first surface layer. An edge of the first surface layer is connected to an edge of the second surface layer to cover the airbag structure. The airbag structure has a plurality of hollowed portions and a first connecting portion of the first surface layer is connected to a second connecting portion of the second surface layer through a space provided by the hollowed portions.

A cushioned knee separator for use by a person for placing between the person's legs when sleeping on one's side. The separator comprises an air-tight padding member and a securing member. The padding member comprises an envelope forming an air-tight enclosure, wherein the envelope comprises a pair of opposite surfaces; a membrane attached to the contacting faces and limiting relative movement of the contacting faces; filling material filling the enclosure; and a valve mounted to the envelope for controllably disrupting air tightness within the enclosure. The securing member is for securing the separator to one leg of the person. The separator is therefore adapted to maintain a distance between the person's legs thereby avoiding contacts between the knees when someone is sleeping in a side sleeping position.

A dual air chamber structure having two independent and air impervious chambers, with each chamber being inflated and deflated by a separate air valve. The inner chamber, except for its air valve, is completely contained by the outer chamber and is comprised of a primary horizontal conduit and a plurality of inflatable intermittent vertical posts made of small diameter tubing which are connected by a corresponding plurality of horizontal conduit made of small diameter tubing, such that the inner chamber as a whole is comprised of a repeating series of inflatable vertical posts followed by inflatable horizontal connectors. The outer chamber forms an air impervious bladder around the inner chamber, except for the air valve of the inner chamber.

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.

An area support surface seating system designed to optimize conditions that will avoid interrupting the healing procedure of pressure injuries in the area of the buttocks while an individual is placed in the seated position through the control of individual cells within the support surface to create a lower than capillary pressure site under an open wound and modulate external pressure over time on different regions of the buttocks to minimize secondary causes of pressure injuries. The area support surface also provides through its operation the means to restrain the progress of spinal deformities.

A mattress can include one or more layers of foam material, an adjustable air layer including an air bladder, and a valve. The valve can be fluidically connected to the air bladder and configured to regulate pressure of the air bladder in response to actuation. Some embodiments can include a foam material positioned inside the air bladder.

Sealed foam, self-inflating mattress system includes a mattress core formed of open-cell foam. The mattress core includes first and second major sleeping surfaces on opposing sides of the mattress and at least one side wall which extends between the two major sleeping surfaces. An elastomeric coating encloses the mattress core to define an airtight mattress chamber. A vacuum pump is disposed in a recess of the mattress core and operatively coupled to the airtight mattress chamber. The vacuum pump is configured to selectively establish a negative PSIG internal operation pressure within the airtight mattress chamber. The negative PSIG internal operation pressure improves a comfort of the self-inflating mattress.

A self-inflating stowable bed. The bed includes one or more self-inflating chambers, with each of the self-inflating chambers having one or more polyurethane foam sections therein, with the chamber defined between a first air impervious layer and a second air impervious layer. The self-inflating bed may be evacuated by a household or shop vacuum, and then sealed, rolled or folded, and easily stored or shipped. The polyurethane foam sections may be provided with different members having different indentation force deflection specifications suitable for bed portions and edge of bed portions.
