An improved wheelchair lift-transfer device provides capabilities for a patient or caregiver to independently control the wheelchair and lift functions to elevate and move about safely. The compact lift-transfer device is readily usable to assist in transporting and lifting patients from various locations including wheelchairs, beds and chairs. Further, the lift-transfer device is also collapsible for storage and transport.

A surgical frame and a method for use thereof facilitates transfer of a patient from and to a surgical table/gurney. The surgical table includes a main beam positionable such that a surgical table/gurney with patient laying thereon can be positioned under the main beam. The main beam includes componentry for supporting a patent thereon, and the main beam can be rotated, raised/lowered, and tilted upwardly/downwardly to afford positioning and repositioning of the main beam to facilitate transfer of a patient from the surgical table/gurney to the main beam and transfer from the main beam to the surgical table/gurney.

The system uses a motor, and a rolling tube or rod of sufficient strength to apply a pull force on one side of a sheet on the bed with the patient lying on the sheet to help pull up the patient on his bed or turn patients on his side with little manual effort. The sheet used has an underside which is slidable to reduce the friction and having a plurality of loops on the sides to connect to the pull straps. The loops to which the pull straps are connected are chosen to apply equal force to pull or turn the patient on the sheet. Patients having mobility issues have to be routinely pulled up or turned on their sides to make them comfortable and avoid formation of bed sores. These operations have caused back problems for many caregivers. The system disclosed provides mechanized help for these operations.

A slide-sheet used for pull-up has a slidable underside to reduce the friction. The sheets used comprise a plurality of loops on the sides to connect to pull straps. The loops to which the pull straps are connected are chosen to apply equal force to pull or turn the patient on the sheet. Patients having mobility issues have to be routinely pulled up or turned on their sides to make them comfortable and avoid formation of bed sores. The mechanized system disclosed enables a single care giver to handle these operations.

Disclosed is an orthopedics hospital bed and surgical table with the functions of traction and reduction comprising a bedstead, and at least one traction holder, wherein, each of the traction holder includes two traction pillars and a traction beam detachably mounted on top ends of the two traction pillars; a sliding rail is provided at each of the two sides of the bedstead and extends in a direction of a length of the bedstead; lower ends of the two traction pillars of each traction holder are slidably mounted in the two sliding rails respectively, and connected into the sliding rail through a rotate shaft or a hinge; the traction pillars are locked forwardly at set-up position, and the traction beam is configured to connect to a traction device.

A platform adapted to be attached to a piece of conveying equipment such as a gurney. The platform includes a base defining a cavity. The platform further includes a coupling receiver mounted on the top of the base. The coupling receiver receives a support structure of the conveying equipment and releasably secures the platform to the conveying equipment. A platform member is slideably received within the cavity and is moveable between extended and non-extended positions.

Devices, systems, and methods for supporting patients may include a support top and a positioning arm for assisting positioning of a patient's body.

A force transfer apparatus for massage and bodywork tables. In one preferred embodiment the force transfer apparatus includes a height adjustable table, a height adjustable conveyor lift, and an accessory roller. The accessory roller is used to transfer the angle of the sheet upon the height adjustable table to accommodate the rotation of the patient's body. With this novel invention, physical manipulation of the patient's body position in relation to the table is achieved with little to no effort by the patient or the massage therapist. This allows for the patient to remain relaxed during the transitional phase of the massage session.

A patient support apparatus is disclosed.

A support apparatus (e.g., stretcher, back board, etc.) with double roller assembly. The apparatus includes a main frame, a first housing containing at least one wheel (e.g., gear, pulley, sprocket, roller) around which a first sheet and/or a second sheet is coiled. The opposite ends of the sheets are coupled to vertically- and horizontally-displaced lead and trail rollers in the double roller assembly, one sheet for each roller. The apparatus further includes a second housing containing at least one wheel around which a chain or belt is disposed. One or both ends of the chain/belt is coupled to the double roller assembly. In operation, a patient is positioned within the main frame, and the sheets extend underneath the patient. The belt/chain mechanism can also help urge extension of the sheets. When the sheets are fully extended underneath the patient, the patient is fully supported and can be transported.
