A cover assembly for a patient support including a top portion with the top portion defining a patient support surface and a sealing surface opposite the patient support surface. The cover assembly further includes a bottom portion defining a plurality of open face chambers with each open face chamber including a floor and a plurality of walls extending from the floor towards the top portion. Each open face chamber is connected to, and integral with, at least one additional open face chamber by a hinge. The sealing surface of the top portion covers the open face chambers and is coupled to the bottom portion at each hinge.

An inflatable mattress that has multiple chambers is disclosed that includes a first section with a first pressure valve, and a second section that has a plurality of collapsible airtight vertical cylindrical chambers displaced across the first section and which defines a top surface and each vertical chamber includes valves, controlled by a central controller that is programmable and controls the flow of air in and out of each chamber, thereby providing a method to alter the vertical dimension of each chamber and affect movement to a person on the top surface mattress.

The present invention relates to a patient rolling or turning device for healthcare assistants, such as caregivers and nurses. The device allows a singular healthcare assistant to smoothly and slowly laterally turn or rotate a bedridden patient. The device includes a foam-based frame having a flat base and three curved legs extending vertically from the flat base. The frame comprises two leg supports for receiving and supporting the patient's legs, and a plurality of handles that can be grasped by a nurse or caregiver to rotate the patient.

A bed pad device is disclosed, wherein the device is comprised of a generally rectangular body with at least one strap on either side of the body that may contain a hook or loop surface. An invalid user may be placed on top of the device, wherein the strap on the left side of the body is designed to meet the corresponding strap on the right side of the body, when the device is folded over itself, thereby forming a hollow cylindrical shape. The hook and loop surfaces of the straps may then be pressed together, forming a bond which holds the device together and secures the user in a desired position. Further, the straps can be wrapped around the railing of a bed, such that the position of the invalid user can be secured.

The invention relates to a prone position device that is modular and has universal integration capability, for an effortless transition to a prone position in patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 or any acute respiratory distress syndrome through the use of a mechanical means that may be fitted into a full spectrum of beds to support a multitude of resting positions for the patient.

A pump apparatus includes a pump configured for moving air, a housing supporting the pump, and an air output hose in communication with the pump. The housing further includes a rest for retaining a portion of the air output hose. The rest forms a u-shape having two side walls and a valley therebetween.

This disclosure provides a patient support for supporting a patient. The patient support comprises a lattice of cells each having a base, a top disposed opposite the base, and one or more buckling elements having a thickness and extending from the base to the top to form a column.

A system for repositioning or supporting a patient includes a first sheet, the first sheet configured to receive a patient on a top side, and a second sheet coupled to the first sheet, wherein the second sheet comprises at least one tubular pocket therein, and wherein the second sheet is configured to contact a support surface. The system further includes at least one support device configured to be inserted within the at least one tubular pocket, such that when the at least one support device is inserted within the at least one tubular pocket, at least a portion of the patient is elevated relative to the support surface.

A proning device includes a conformable structure that adapts to the shape of a subject, surrounded by a shell that imparts a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape to an exterior of the device to facilitate rotation of the subject within the device when the device is wrapped around the subject. A low-friction interface may also be provided to further facilitate rotation of the subject. The device advantageously reduces staffing needs for proning a subject while facilitating extended proning and periodic re-orientation of the subject. Also disclosed herein are methods for making and using such a proning device.
