The housing is adapted to be introduced into the washing and treating components and is accessible from outside. The frame has a single-unit structure composed of tubular members made of a medical-grade sterilizable metal or non-metal material.

A tilt-tip moldable bed system for the care of immobile patients is provided. The bed system may include a moldable mattress having a casing with a bladder defining an inner volume and a top compliant surface over a top surface of the bladder, the compliant surface configured to conform to a shape of a displacing structure. The bladder may be configured to hold a plurality of beads suspended in a fluid medium. The moldable mattress may be molded while inflated and maintain a resilient shape when evacuated. The system may further include a supporting frame for the moldable support structure having a laterally rigid outer rim with at least one attachment point for the moldable mattress, at least one attachment point for a netted sling, and one or more mounting tracks configured to support at least one peripheral attachment.

Improved bathing apparatus and their conformations. The improved bathing apparatus includes descriptions of efficient methods used in bathing bedridden persons without the need to move them from the bed. The process will include devices used in collection of body waste generated by bedridden individuals. Since cleanliness of bedridden individuals is paramount to continuing health as well as prevention of new infections, the devices are converted to a secondary use for bathing since a conduit can also be used for drainage of wastewater from showering or bathing. An impermeable layer with a spout leading into the conduit is placed under the patient. The wastewater generated can be collected for disposal or directed to a drainage system. Several iterations of the bath system are described, presenting a choice for the user depending on conformations of and attachments to the bed. In all conformations, the drainage outlet can be stoppered to generate a pool of water when needed.

The bed hair-washing station is configured for use with a bedridden patient. The bed hair-washing station is configured for use in washing the hair of the patient. The bed hair-washing station is a portable structure that rolls to the bed of the patient. The bed hair-washing station comprises a basin, a source system, a drain system, and a cart. The basin, the source system, and the drain system attach to the cart. The basin receives and controls the fluid flow required to wash the hair of the patient. The source water provides fresh water for use in washing the hair of the patient. The drain system removes and stores the gray water generated by washing the hair of the patient. The cart is a wheeled structure that allows the bed hair-washing station to roll to the patient.
