Disclosed is a toilet chair (1) comprising a chair back (2) including a head part (3) and a bottom part (4) and a seat (5) comprising a front part (6) and a rear part (8), wherein the seat (5) further comprises a toilet opening (7) through which a user may go to the toilet. The bottom part (4) and the rear part (8) are arranged next to each other and the bottom part (4) is arranged to be displaceable outwards in a direction towards the front of the chair (1) and the rear part (8) is arranged to be displaceable upwards in a direction towards the front of the chair (1). Methods for aiding a person in getting undressed or dressed by means of a toilet chair (1) and use of a toilet chair (1) is also disclosed.

The disclosed technology relates to examination or procedure tables and chairs which can be moved into positions in more efficient and desirable ways to better meet the needs of the patient and medical service providers. In particular, a plurality of actuators which cause the seat, leg rest and foot rest of the disclosed technologies to move may, if desired, be independently programmed to provide mechanically independent movement of the seat, leg rest and foot rest to desirable positions needed to provide ease of entry or transfer by the patient to the equipment including positioning the highest portion of the seat to a home or patient entry position no more than nineteen inches from the floor.

A person support apparatus includes a support surface for supporting a person thereon. The support surface includes at least a seat and a backrest coupled together by a pivot assembly. In some embodiments, the pivot assembly includes a backrest slide bar mounted to the backrest and a seat slide bar mounted to the seat. The backrest and seat slide along their respective slide bars when the backrest pivots. A seat link is coupled to the seat and backrest slide bar, and a backrest link is coupled to the backrest and seat slide bar. The slide bars are coupled at their ends to each other. The pivot assembly creates a virtual pivot axis that, as the backrest pivots from an upright position to a reclined position, moves backward and upwardly. Elongate openings may be defined in the slide bars to support the slide bars on the seat and backrest, respectively.

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.

A convertible transport system including a seat portion, a back support portion, and a pivoting mechanism coupled to the seat portion and to the back support portion. The pivoting mechanism is configured to adjust and lock the back support portion relative to the seat portion, the pivoting mechanism having three operative states: a free pivoting state allowing the back support portion to pivot relative to the seat portion about an axis; a ratcheting state allowing the back support portion to only pivot toward the seat portion about the axis; and a locking state in which the pivoting mechanism is locked to thereby prevent a pivoting movement of the back support portion relative to the seat portion.

A patient transport apparatus for supporting a patient. The patient transport apparatus includes a seat assembly having a seat frame. A fowler assembly having a fowler frame is coupled to the seat frame and is moveable relative to the seat assembly. The seat and fowler assemblies support the patient. A telescoping handle assembly is coupled to the fowler assembly. A spine of the telescoping handle assembly is moveable relative to a guide of the fowler assembly along an axis to a plurality of spine positions. An upper handle coupled to and moveable with the spine is spaced farther from the seat assembly in an extended position than in a retracted position. A release linkage has a retainer to engage a receiver of the spine to retain the spine. A release interface is engageable to selectively move the retainer out of engagement with the receiver of the spine.

The embodiments herein provide a patient transfer system for transferring a patient form one surface to another with a single attendant/caretaker. The system comprises a main base with wheels, a column actuator for height adjustment and a patient resting surface. The patient resting surface comprises two surfaces made of a mattress and a sheet. During transfer of patient from one surface to another, the system is attached/locked to a firm surface like floor, wall or ceiling using mechanical attachment devices for providing stability. The sheet when pulled lengthwise is transformed into an almost hard surface. A frame with sheet carrying patient is moved horizontally or vertically for transferring the patient. The sheet is made out of radiolucent material to avoid any effects due to radiations during X-ray, CT scans, MRI etc. The system is also convertible into a wheelchair using actuators when needed.

An adjustable patient support apparatus comprises a base, a support frame, and a patient support deck. The patient support deck comprises articulating deck sections, such as a leg section, seat section, and a back section pivotally coupled together. One or more actuators may be configured to move the leg and/or back section between a lowered position and one or more raised positions. The seat section may include one or more articulating seats to assist with ingress and egress from the patient support apparatus. The one or more seats may be articulated manually or electrically via a lever or actuator.

The invention discloses a care bed including a bed frame and a wheelchair. A head panel, a tail panel, a foldable first lateral connecting portion and a second lateral connecting portion of the bed frame constitute an accommodating space of the bed frame. The bed frame has a notch formed at the folded first lateral connecting portion. The wheelchair is moved by the carriage base into the accommodating space through the notch. The backrest, the first armrest, the second armrest, the leg-rest and the footrest of the wheelchair are regulated into a co-plane with the seat to constitute a mattress. The mattress fits the accommodating space of the bed frame.

A patient support apparatus for use in ambulating a patient to a floor surface. A patient support deck is operatively attached to a base and has a seat section, a leg section, and a pair of foot sections. The patient support deck is operable between a bed configuration and a chair configuration. In the bed configuration, the seat section, leg section, and foot sections support the patient in a flat position. In the chair configuration, the seat section supports the patient in a seated position, the leg section is articulated adjacent to the floor surface, and the foot sections are articulated relative to the leg section and out of support of the patient. A handle to facilitate patient ambulation is coupled to each of the foot sections, and the handles are arranged to facilitate patient ambulation when the patient support deck is in the chair configuration.
