A patient transport device includes an inflatable torso support and one or more straps coupled to sides of the inflatable torso support. Each strap can be configured at least as a single loop. A strap concealment device can be coupled to the inflatable torso support to span a major face of the inflatable torso support. The strap concealment device can include a central panel spanning the major face and one or more side panels extending from a perimeter of the central panel. The one or more side panels can terminate at an edge distally disposed from the central panel at a bunch-gathering binding. The one or more side panels can be selectively foldable between a first position concealing the inflatable torso support and some or all of the one or more straps and a second position exposing the inflatable torso support and the one or more straps.

A portable assistive lift comprising a vertical member comprising a handle bar and a central wheel controlled by the handle bar disposed at the top and bottom extremities thereof respectively, a pair of left and right support members, each of which comprising a horizontal top rod extending from the vertical member, a bottom rod comprising a side wheel receptacle for receiving a side wheel therewithin disposed at a distal extremity thereof and a connecting rod connecting the free and proximal extremities of the top and bottom rods respectively whereby, the vertical member and the top, bottom and the connecting rods from a U-shaped structure as viewed from top and a hook stand comprising a plurality of hooks about which a sling is coupled thereto wherein, the hook stand is adapted to be elevated and lowered.

A portable transfer board can facilitate moving a person having limited mobility, for example a person in a wheelchair transferring himself or herself into or out of a wheelchair. The portable transfer board can be transported in a compact configuration and placed in a transfer configuration on an as-needed basis. For example, a user or caregiver can tote the portable transfer board in a backpack, in a compartment on a wheelchair, or on his or her person. When needed for transfer, the user or caregiver can reconfigure the transfer board, so that at least one dimension is lengthened, and deploy the transfer board.

Equipment for raising of a lying person. The equipment comprises: a seat (1), a backrest (2), which from a first position can be passed to a second position behind the back of the person, and a chassis (3) with an upper end to which the seat is connected and a lowermost end adapted to rest on a surface such as a floor. The equipment is to be placed on the surface positioned to the person such that the seat is placed under the behind of the person and from this first position the equipment with the person can be passed to a second position in which the chassis with its lower end rests on the surface such that the seat and backrest is raised relative to the surface e.g. to take a chair-like posture or a catapult position i.e. an upright position in which the person will be assisted to a standing position.

A holding mechanism holds a care-receiver, a traction mechanism that is connected to the holding mechanism, and the traction mechanism pulls the holding mechanism so that the holding mechanism draws a predetermined path. On the basis of a position of the holding mechanism detected by a position sensor and a force detected by a force sensor, if the position of the holding mechanism is not on the predetermined path, a controller controls the traction mechanism so that the holding mechanism draws the predetermined path by changing the position of the holding mechanism to a position on the predetermined path at a time after the time at which the position is detected.

A multifunctional mattress, equipped with N body support members, and provided with a left stretcher rod through-penetrating area and a right stretcher rod through-penetrating area along a direction of a long edge L respectively, the two stretcher rod through-penetrating areas are provided with a stretcher hole for penetrating a stretcher rod through, the stretcher hole is stretched along a direction parallel to the long edge L of the mattress body; the mattress body is provided with a plurality of airbag areas, strip-like gaps are arranged among the airbag areas, the strip-like gaps are arranged in parallel to each other in a direction mutually perpendicular to the long edge L of the mattress body; a width H of the strip-like gap is greater than or equal to a width h of the body support member, a thickness of the inflated airbag area is greater than that of the body support member. The multifunctional mattress is quick to operate, safe and less laborious, and portable and environmentally-friendly.

A transfer seat platform that helps transfer a handicapped person from a wheelchair into a vehicle. The transfer seat platform includes a stand portion having a top portion with a bottom portion, a pair of front legs, and an extended lip, the top portion includes a front end and a back end, the pair of front legs extend from the front end of the top portion of the stand portion and the extended lip extends from the bottom portion of the top portion, and a cushion is disposed and coupled directly on the top portion. The pair of front legs have an adjustable length via a locking assembly. The pair of front legs are placed on a ground surface and the extended lip is placed within a vehicle doorframe.

A portable, lightweight emergency lifting device for downed persons that is intended for use by paramedics/emergency personnel as well as medical facilities and private owners. The lifting device has a single electric screw extendible ram, with a frictional fail safe lifting system. It has a seat with a ramped front edge in conjunction with an arced support leg configuration that allows the seat to extend to the ground when the device is in its collapsed configuration, to aid in loading the patient. The vertical legs open only to an acute angled position so as to leave the immediate area under the seat open and uncluttered. The frame rolls on a pair of fixed front wheels and a wider pair of rear casters.

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.
