A convertible bed/wheelchair apparatus is disclosed to include a first support frame; a second support frame; a first mattress frame segment; a second mattress frame segment; and a third mattress frame segment movably connected to one another; a first motor, a third motor, and a fourth motor operable to cause the first mattress support segment to turn into a footrest, and the second mattress frame segment to move on top of second supporting frame, and the third mattress frame segment to be erected vertically to become a head rest section of a wheelchair.

One embodiment is a slidable middle bar (FIG. 1A) that connects to the main rod (FIG. 2) which ultimately connects to the entire bed assist bar (FIG. 5). The slidable middle bar allows for an accurate fit for all of the different bed types. Once the accurate fit is achieved, then the user can utilize the bed assist bar to help them get in and out of bed. With the accurate fit to the bed, one achieves increased stability from proper perpendicularity of the handle to the ground. Other embodiments are described and shown.

A patient bed has a siderail that is movable to a raised position elevated over a central region of a mattress of the patient bed for use as part of a patient lift of the patient bed. In a lowered position, the siderail blocks egress of a patient from the mattress. In the raised position of the siderail, a sling arm is coupleable to the siderail and a sling is coupleable to hooks of the sling arm.

According to the present disclosure, a microclimate system includes a support surface, an air box, and an immersion sensor. The support surface is configured to support a patient and conduct air along a surface of the support surface so that heat and moisture from a patient lying on the support surface are drawn away from the surface. The air box includes a blower coupled to the support surface to provide airflow to the support surface. The immersion sensor is configured to detect the immersion of the patient into the support surface.

A patient control unit for controlling functions of a hospital bed includes a housing having a first side that includes a plurality of user inputs to control the functions of the hospital bed. The housing has a second side that includes a dock to secure a handheld phone in place on the housing. A hospital bed has a head-of-bed angle (HOBA) lockout selector that is used to signal a controller to prevent a head section of the bed from being moved below a threshold.

A bed is provided having a base frame, a patient support assembly connected to the base frame, and a tilt frame connected between the base frame and the patient support assembly. The tilt frame is rotatable adjacent the foot end of the bed to place the patient support assembly, including the head section, seat section and foot section thereof, in a generally vertical position to allow a patient to exit the bed in a standing orientation. The bed also has a foot board assembly connected to the foot section, the foot board assembly having a foot board separately moveable about a longitudinal axis of the bed toward the head end and the foot end of the bed.

A nursing bed for sitting excretion comprises a strength saving transmission device arranged inside the bed frame; a bed board device arranged above the strength saving transmission device; an excretion device arranged between the bed board device and the strength saving transmission device; the strength saving transmission device drives a driving mechanism by a power output shaft, and the driving mechanism drives a first elevation rod and a second elevation rod, the first elevation rod drives the back moveable frame to be leaned, the second elevation drives the leg moveable frame to be lowering; The present invention uses the law of the lever to achieve providing a device with strength saving feature, and further achieve the effects of allowing the patient excreting with sitting posture to reduce the discomfort and increase the convenience, and achieve self-caring.

A bed comprises a fixed width deck section, a wing movably coupled to the fixed width section, and a rack and pinion mechanism for extending and retracting the wing.

A mattress support includes a base plate configured to be positioned on a box spring of a bed. A bladder may be coupled to a top surface of the base plate. A top plate is coupled to a top surface of the bladder. A top surface of the top plate is configured to support a mattress. The bladder is inflatable to adjust a height of the top plate.

A surgical table with independently extendable or foldable side extension platforms (side rails) allowing accommodation of patients with variable physical characteristics. Said surgical table side extension platforms may be operated manually or by electrical or pneumatic actuators and may be controlled by a local or a remote (wireline or wireless connected) controller.
