Support apparatus, system and method
A therapeutic support device includes a bladder having one or more independently inflatable compartments, each including a plurality of inflatable cells. When inflated, each inflatable cell forms a contact node that may support a user or another object disposed thereon. The inflatable compartments can be alternately inflated and deflated such that contact pressure can be applied to and relieved from corresponding portions of the user's body in an alternating manner.
HEAD SUPPORT
The present invention relates to a head support for supporting a patient's head while the patient is in a prone position. The head support comprises a body of compliant material whose shape provides a forehead support region, at least one further support region for supporting a lower portion of the patient's face, and a void which accommodates the patient's eyes, nose and mouth in use. According to one aspect of the invention, a viewing opening is provided which faces laterally and provides in use a line of sight from the exterior of the head support into the void, the viewing opening having a periphery which is an unbroken loop.
FOAM FILLING ELEMENTS
A foam piece for filling a comfort item, includes a body part and several foam arms having a first end and a second end, where the first end is attached to the body part, and the second end protrudes away from the body part, and a plurality of contour recesses between the foam arms. The invention further relates to a plurality of foam pieces to be used as filling for a comfort item, and it relates to a comfort item with such filling. Thereby, foam pieces are supplied which are better at retaining elastic expansion and elastic deformation characteristics than the foam solutions of the art by retaining at least some air between pieces in the uncompressed state. A filling is thereby obtained having good filling properties and adding air to the comfort item.
