Multi-function adaptable lift system
A lift system has a back panel and a seat panel to provide a seat for a user. The back panel is slidably mounted on a support column via slider so that the back panel can be moved up and down to adjust the seat height. The seat panel can be flipped back to accommodate a user in a standing posture. With the support column, the lift system can be attached to a wheeled frame, a pole, a rotatable arm, a wall or a ceiling depending on the need of the user.
Reclining wheelchair apparatus
A reclining wheelchair apparatus for providing a convenient way for wheelchair users to rest or be cared for includes a chair base frame and a plurality of wheels coupled to the chair base frame. A seat bottom is coupled to a base top side and a pair of pivot brackets is pivotably coupled to a base top side adjacent the base back side. A chair back is coupled to the pair of pivot brackets and moves between an upright position and a reclined position. The pair of pivot brackets rests on a pair of bracket supports when the chair back is in the reclined position. A pair of locking pins is coupled to the pair of pivot brackets and selectively engages with the base top side to secure the chair back in the upright position.
CHAIR AND BED MOBILITY APPARATUS
The disclosed device is a wheelchair that is capable of being converted into a bed and visa versa. The device is also able to transfer patients from it unto another surface, such as a bed or an examination table. The device may be used as a rescue apparatus to lift patients that fell on the ground. The mobility device may additionally have hygienic openings to enable a rider to relieve him or herself without needing to be lifted or transferred off the mobility device. The device is fully motorized, with all functions capable of being performed at the touch of a button.
Wheeled nursing and medical device
A wheeled nursing and medical device includes a wheeled seat mechanism, a driving module, a bed mechanism and a linking mechanism. The wheeled seat mechanism includes an expandable base frame and front and rear wheel assemblies. The driving module is operable to drive expanding and retraction of the expandable base frame. The bed mechanism includes a main bed plate and a backrest plate pivotally connected with the main bed plate. The linking mechanism includes at least one inclined bracket pivotally connected with the expandable base frame and the backrest plate. The device is shiftable between a bed state and a wheelchair state to render traveling of the device in the wheelchair state convenient.
PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUS ADAPTABLE TO MULTIPLE MODES OF TRANSPORT
A patient support apparatus that is adaptable to multiple modes of transport includes a variable length base and a drive system that includes two independently drivable wheels that are responsive to inputs from a user to steer the patient support apparatus.
Physically disabled patient support unit
A physically disabled patient support unit includes functional underwear, a silicone casing shell, tapered duct, ring, slide, inclined waste pump, waste storage, moving step, waste transfer station, safety belt with apparatus and multi-stage apparatus parts. The support unit provides for the transfer of urine and fecal waste of bedridden physically disabled patients to sewerage without touching. The support also has a very simple and practical use due to its various positions.
MEDICAL SUPPORT APPARATUS
A medical chair includes a base, a seat, and a leg rest pivotally mounted relative to the seat and adapted to move between an extended position and a retracted position. The chair further includes a first actuator for tilting the seat with respect to the base, a second actuator for lifting the seat with respect to the base, and a leg rest actuator adapted to move the leg rest. The chair also includes a controller adapted to control the first and second actuators to move the seat between a first position and a second position such that the seat is both lifted and tilted at the same time as the seat moves from the first position to the second position, and wherein the controller is adapted to control the leg rest actuator such that the leg rest maintains a substantially constant orientation with respect to the floor.
Patient support apparatuses with dynamic control panels
A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, recliner, operating table, stretcher, or the like, includes a control panel with multiple controls for controlling functions of the patient support apparatus. A control system disables at least a first control and changes an illumination state of a backlight when the patient support apparatus is in a particular state. In some embodiments, the particular state is the arming of an exit detection system and/or the deactivation of a brake on the patient support apparatus. The particular state may also or alternatively be tied to a particular mode of the patient support apparatus, such as a diagnostic mode, a maintenance mode, and/or a normal mode. The control system may also never illuminate a first icon on the patient support apparatus if it was initially configured in a particular manner, such as being intended for sale in a particular geographic market.
Transport apparatus
A first transport apparatus includes a deck for supporting a patient thereon and a lift mechanism supporting the deck. The deck is removable from the lift mechanism for use as a second transport apparatus or part of a second transport apparatus. The first transport apparatus further includes an electrically powered device at the first transport apparatus, and a user input device for wireless control of the electrically powered device, which is operable at or near the first transport apparatus and the second transport apparatus.
Rotating and articulating sleeping assembly
An assembly has a frame with two ends and two rails with a drop section generally centered, a base plate spanning the rails at the drop sections, a turn table upon the base plate, a pivot tray upon the turn table, linkages upon the pivot tray, sections operatively connected to the linkages, spring panels upon the sections, and a mattress upon the section. Senior citizens, patients, and disabled persons find difficulty to enter and to climb out of bed and may frequently require assistance. When this problem occurs, others must assist a person and the assistance varies depending on the person's size, weight and degree of mobility. The present invention adapts easily to most standard bed frames and allows a patient to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise and then to a sitting position.
