A movable sanitary station for use with a hospital bed includes a cabinet with a front side, a back side, a right side, a left side, a bottom and a top. The back side of the cabinet has a concave shape forming a semi-cylindrical cavity having an axis extending laterally along the back side of the cabinet, permitting a mattress of the bed to protrude forward into the semi-cylindrical cavity. The top extends over the mattress of the bed to cover a gap between a foot of the mattress and the back side of the cabinet. The movable sanitary station also includes a set of wheels for supporting and moving the cabinet and a toilet seat integrated in a central portion of the top of the cabinet and surrounding a first aperture formed through the top of the cabinet.

A hospital bed assembly includes a bed frame that may be positioned on a support surface. A mattress lies on the bed frame and a user lies on the mattress. The mattress has an opening extending therethrough and the opening is aligned with the user's buttocks when the user lies on the mattress. A toilet unit is movably coupled to the mattress and the toilet unit receives feces and urine from the user. The toilet unit is fluidly coupled to a sewer thereby facilitating the feces and urine to be flushed into the sewer. Moreover, the toilet unit is aligned with the opening in the mattress. A control unit is coupled to the bed frame and the control unit is electrically coupled to the toilet unit to control operational parameters of the toilet unit.

A medical air mattress has a mattress body and an upper bedspread. The mattress body is formed by multiple air cells including independent air cells parallelly arranged as an air cell row. The upper bedspread covers the mattress body. The independent air cells are connected to the independent deflating unit to be deflated independently. When the patient needs to use the bedpan, the independent air cells are deflated to form a recess for receiving the bedpan so that the patient needs not to move.

According to at least one embodiment, an apparatus for continuous collection of human waste products is disclosed. The apparatus may include a bed frame, a lower plate having a container coupled thereto, an upper plate having an aperture defined therein, a mattress having an aperture defined therein, a mattress cover having an aperture defined therein and an absorbent pad having a bag coupled thereto. The apparatus may allow for continuous collection of human waste products while maintaining the patient in a comfortable position. The apparatus may further facilitate preventing human waste products from contacting the skin of the patient, thereby Substantially reducing the occurrence of pressure ulcers. Additionally, the apparatus may reduce the need for the use of Foley catheters for incontinence management, thereby reducing the occurrence of urinary tract infections related to Such SC.

A soft-walled inflatable cradle (10) has a seat section (14), a back-support section (16), and a pair of opposed side panel sections (18, 20) extending between respective sides of the back-support and the seat. The cradle is positioned about a patient in an un-inflated condition and inflated to define a self-supporting seat structure. The cradle may be formed in at least two separable parts which can be positioned about a patient and connected together prior to inflation. The cradle may be used in co-operation with apparatus which include rollers over which the inflated cradle is moved. Methods of handling a patient using the cradle are also disclosed.
