A support apparatus for a person includes a main cushion having a bottom surface, a top surface to form a support surface for a person supported on the main cushion, and a length having a perimeter that has longitudinal and lateral sides extending around the perimeter. In addition, the support apparatus has at least one sleeve located along one of the sides of the man cushion. The sleeve is configured between a stowed state, where the sleeve is closely adjacent to the one side, and a deployed state, where the sleeve forms an extension of the top surface of the main cushion to thereby increase the width or the length of the support surface.

A patient support system for supporting a patient during surgery comprising support frame, a plurality of patient supports, a moveable carriage mounted to the support frame, the moveable carriage being movable along a first direction and a second direction relative to the support frame, the moveable carriage comprising mount blocks on which the patient supports are mounted, and an actuation mechanism that causes movement of the moveable carriage in the first and second directions, the patient supports being removably attached at one end to the support frame and attached at another end to the movable carriage, wherein the mount blocks are rotatable independent of any movement of the movable carriage in the first and second directions.

A transmission device for lifting a sickbed is fixed on a head mounting or a bed end of the sickbed and contains: a gear seat, a cover, a power input assembly, and a power output assembly. The gear seat includes a first conduit, a second conduit, a first opening, and a receiving orifice. The cover is covered on the first opening of the gear seat. The power input assembly includes an input shaft and a first bevel gear. The power output assembly includes an output shaft, a second bevel gear, and a support element. The support element is rotatably connected with the output shaft. The support element has multiple reinforcement ribs surrounding around an outer wall of the support element and configured to abut against an abutting fence of the second conduit, and the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear.

A medical bed horizontal driving mechanism includes a bracket, a drum, an electric motor, and a position sensor. The bracket is configured to be fixedly connected to a bed frame of a medical bed. The drum is rotatably connected to the bracket. The drum is rotatable to drive a bed board of the medical bed to move relative to the bed frame. The electric motor is arranged in a cavity of the drum. A housing of the electric motor is fixedly connected to the bracket. An output shaft of the electric motor is connected to the drum to drive the drum to rotate relative to the bracket. The position sensor is arranged in the cavity of the drum. The position sensor can detect a rotational position of the drum and generate a position signal, which is used to control the electric motor.

Medical beds and methods include a processor, an input interface configured to receive commands, and a display device configured to display an output. The medical bed further includes a memory storing program instructions, the program instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to place the medical bed in a restricted mode based upon satisfying a plurality of criteria. The medical bed outputs an indication of the restricted mode on the display device. The medical bed receives first and second movement commands through the input interface, wherein the movement commands are configured to move the medical bed. The medical bed moves based upon a first movement command permitted by the restricted mode. The medical bed maintains a current state of the medical bed upon receipt of a second movement command blocked by the restricted mode, wherein the second movement command differs from the first movement command.

A hospital bed having foot egress, including a foot section with a pair of foot panels that can pivot upward and be locked into place to provide a support structure for standing and ambulation. Each of the pair of foot section panels can include a grab handle for assistance in standing. The foot end of the frame of the bed includes a retractable crossbar which supports the foot panels, and which can be reversibly retracted towards the middle of the bed frame and beneath the seat section of the bed to provide a clearing at the distal foot end of the bed for the patient to stand and exit the bed safely and efficiently.

A patient support apparatus for supporting a patient in a prone position during a surgical procedure is provided, including an open fixed frame suspended above a floor and a pair of spaced opposed radially sliding joints cooperating with the frame, each joint including a virtual pivot point and an arc of motion spaced from the virtual pivot point, the joints being movable along the arc providing a pivot ship mechanism for a pair of pelvic pads attached to the joints. A base for supporting and suspending a patient support structure above the floor, for supporting a patient during a surgical procedure, the base including a pair of spaced opposed vertical translation subassemblies reversibly attachable to a patient support structure, a cross-bar, and a rotation subassembly having two degrees of rotational freedom; wherein a location of each vertical translation subassembly is substantially constant during operation of the patient support structure.

Systems and methods for patient monitoring and repositioning are provided. The system includes a mattress with a cell array and a base board array to receive the cell array. The cell array includes a plurality of individually height-adjustable cells each having sensor surface configured to sense at least one biomarker of the patient while lying on the mattress. The system also includes a main unit in communication with each cell of the cell array through the base board array. The main unit is configured to receive data from each of the cells, including measurements of the at least one biomarker, and independently control a height of each of the cells.

A foldable electric bed comprises a front frame, a rear frame and several pieces of bed boards. The front frame is provided with a front base which is fixedly provided with a front supporting part used for supporting the bed boards arranged at the front frame. The rear frame is provided with a rear base which is fixedly provided with a rear supporting part used for supporting the bed boards arranged at the rear frame. The front base and the rear base are articulated at an articulating shaft through a connector and an axle pin, such that the front frame and the rear frame are able to fold between an unfolded position and a folded position in relation to each other. At the unfolded position, the front frame and the rear frame are adjacent to each other along the horizontal direction.
