A portable patient turning device is provided comprising an inflatable mattress cover having a planar surface configured to substantially cover the surface of a bed, and a control unit connected to the inflatable mattress cover by one or more air hoses. The inflatable mattress cover further comprises a first inflatable chamber proximate to and extending along a left edge of the planar surface, a second inflatable chamber proximate to and extending along a right edge of the planar surface, and a spine cushion positioned between the first inflatable chamber and the second inflatable chamber and extending along a middle portion of the planar surface for at least a portion of the length of the first inflatable chamber and second inflatable chamber.

A patient bed includes an interface device having buttons for positioning the patient bed to accommodate a patient's body. The buttons can be illuminated, and can be responsively dimmed when the patient bed reaches movement thresholds to communicate to the user that further movement according to the particular button is discouraged and/or unavailable.

A mattress system is provided that is optimized for the hospital setting and includes a guiderail system that accepts a variety of accessories for attachment thereto. The guiderail system may have integrated data lines, power lines, gas lines, and/or fluid lines.

A therapeutic device and method for using the same. The therapeutic device has a supportive body and a pressure applicator extending from the body that is configured to apply pressure to suboccipital muscles of a patient. The pressure applicator may be altered to adjust a position and points through which to apply pressure to the suboccipital muscles. The body may be positioned at an angle relative to the patient's neck and the pressure applicator is applied to the suboccipital muscles. The pressure can be applied for a duration of time to relieve and/or prevent headaches and migraines in patients.

Multi-part displaceable head plate (1) for an operating table (30), comprising: a coupling arrangement (2), a positioning segment (3) for positioning the head plate (1), a head support segment (4) for supporting the head of the patient, and an unlocking device (24) for unlocking two joint arrangements (5), (6).

The positioning segment (3) and the head support segment (4) are each pivotably connected to the coupling arrangement (2) and to the positioning segment (3), via a first (5) and a second (6) joint arrangement respectively.

A portable bathing tub is shown and described. The portable bathing tub includes a frame having a housing placed on frame. The frame has a plurality of casters located on a bottom side of the frame. The housing is made up of a plurality of sidewalls and a top portion. The top portion includes a tub portion and a sink portion.

CNH Donut is a pressure and pain relieving prosthesis, and sleep aid, to be used with a standard pillow, for persons suffering with Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronic helicis, (CNH) Invention is a novel assemblage, comprised of 2 contiguous foam strips, curved into a lachrymiform shape, covered in cylindrical nylon spandex, then affixed with a headstrap, allowing patients to sleep directly on the injured ear, to roll over, and sleep on their preferred side, without pain. Invention is lightweight, yet firm enough to support a head. The smaller size, and unique contiguous placement of thick foam bands, as opposed to stuffing or fill, creates CNH Donut's distinctive strength, and teardrop shaped inner circle, using the natural arc, and firm properties of the foam to best advantage.

A device is for positioning a bedridden patient, in particular for keeping the lateral Trendelenburg position or another safety position. In particular, a medical device includes at least a first shaped pillow (1) adapted to support a patient's back and to keep the patient in a lateral position with a predetermined inclination angle. The pillow (1) can be extended in width along a lateral direction (L2) so as to tailor the pillow to the patient's body size.

Infant support devices and containment devices are described for use with premature and small-for-age infants, and in particular premature babies two kilograms or less, and even babies of one kilograms or less. The devices can be used separately or in combination (whereupon both support and containment are achieved together).
