A patient turner system is herein disclosed. The system is used in unison with a patient bed to facilitate turning of a patient lying in the bed. The turner system generally includes a base frame, a pair of posts, a pair of bearings that move along the posts, a pair of actuators for moving the bearings, and at least one controller for selectively operating the pair of actuators. A sheet is coupled with the pair of bearings such that movement of the bearings adjusts a position of the sheet to turn a patient in the patient bed.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a lift chair assembly for assisting a user to transition between sitting and standing. The assembly includes a frame body, a backrest member coupled to the frame body, a seat member coupled to the frame body and configured to pivot about an axis relative to the frame body independently from the backrest member such that the seat member pivots between a neutral position and an elevated position, a motor that selectively pivots the seat member, and a controller that selectively engages the motor to pivot the seat member.

A toilet comprising a frame; a bowl supported by the frame; a seat supported by the frame; and an at least partially removable shroud for covering the frame is disclosed. A medical toilet comprising a bowl supported by a frame; a seat supported by the frame; one or more health and wellness assessment devices; and an at least partially removable shroud for covering the frame is also disclosed.

A toilet including a frame; a bowl supported by the frame; a seat supported by the frame; an at least partially removable shroud for covering the frame; and at least one first seat actuator pivotally attached to the frame and to the seat for adjusting the height or angle of the seat; and at least one second seat actuator pivotally attached to the frame and to the seat for adjusting the height or angle of the seat is disclosed. Also, a toilet including a frame; a bowl supported by the frame; a seat supported by the frame; an at least partially removable shroud for covering the bowl, frame, and other toilet components; at least one first seat actuator pivotally attached to the frame and to the seat for lifting and lowering the seat or changing the angle of the seat with the user sitting thereon; at least one second seat actuator pivotally attached to the frame and to the seat for lifting and lowering the seat or changing the angle of the seat with the user sitting thereon; and at least one third seat actuator pivotally attached to the at least one first seat actuator or to the at least one second seat actuator and to the frame for raising and lowering the seat or changing the angle of the seat with the user sitting thereon is also disclosed.

A method for mechanically lowering a person into and out from a structure having a water level, a deck, and an interior wall includes a waterproof lift and drive assembly, and the steps of connecting the lift to a base housing having an upper surface such that, in a lowered state, a lifting beam is at least partially contained within the base housing and, in a raised state, at least a portion of the lifting beam is above the upper surface at a given height, fixing the base housing to a wall of the structure to place the upper surface below the waterline such that, in the lowered state, the lifting beam and the seat assembly are completely submerged in the water and, in the raised state, the bottom seat surface is above the waterline and deck sufficient to permit a person to sit upon the chair.

A wheelchair for transporting a patient comprising a support frame, the support frame having an upper portion located substantially near a first end of the support frame and a lower portion located substantially near a second end of the support frame, at least one seat extension, the seat extension moveably coupled to the support frame between the lower portion and upper portion of the support frame, at least one leg, a first leg coupled to the lower portion of the support frame, at least two wheels mounted on the support frame, an anti-tip bar, the anti-tip bar being substantially horizontally disposed on the lower portion of the support frame and projecting in the lateral direction for stabilizing the wheelchair in the lateral direction, and an extendable beam positioned on the upper portion of the support frame and moveable coupled to the support frame.

The patient transfer device comprises a base, a central pole, a ceiling support, a lift system, a horizontal handle, and a support belt. The patient transfer device may be adapted to assist a caregiver in moving a patient from a first seated location to a second seated location by holding the patient in an elevated seated position while the patient is moved from a first rotational orientation to a second rotational orientation. The base may rest on a floor to provide stability. The central pole may rise vertically upwards to the ceiling support. The central pole may be extended using the lift system to press the ceiling support against a ceiling to provide additional support. The horizontal handle and the support belt may be adapted to hold the patient in the elevated seated position while the patient is moved.

A trauma gurney includes a base connected to a frame by a vertical adjustment mechanism. The base is configured that it can be maneuvered over a receiving table. The frame holds a detachable platform suitable for the positioning of a patient thereon. Actuation of the adjustment mechanism allows the frame to be lowered and the patient platform to be detached. The patient platform is configured to be non-interfering with various procedures such as MRI procedures so the patient platform can remain with the patient after the patient has been transferred without adverse effects to the procedures. The patient platform can also be reattached to the frame after it has been removed. The trauma gurney beneficially allows a patient to be transferred from the gurney to another surface, such as for imaging, without requiring a conventional lateral transfer. Similarly, the trauma gurney allows a patient to be transferred back to the gurney.

A mobility device for assisting a patient includes a frame having a wheel arranged to maneuver the mobility device; a lift assembly coupled to the frame and movable between a lowered position and a raised position; and a support arm coupled to the lift assembly for movement with the lift assembly and arranged to support an upper part of a body of the patient and to support at least part of his weight on the mobility device when the lift assembly is raised from the lowered position to the raised position and when maneuvering the mobility device.

Systems, methods, and devices for seat elevation includes a base and a horizontal seat portion. Vertical supports attached to the seat portion include multiple lift angle holes that allow the seat to be elevated to different lifted angles. Elongate members pivotally connect to vertical supports. The elongate members attach via one of the multiple lift angle holes. The elongate members are able to attach to different lift angle holes. The lifted angle is determined by the first one of the at least two seat position holes. A lift generator is attached to the base and extends to lift the horizontal seat portion into the lifted position. The lift generator contracts to return the horizontal seat portion to the seated position.
