A hospital bed provides improved handling of non-ambulatory patients and others who cannot easily be moved, such as to a hospital room toilet. The hospital bed includes a flexible mattress and a belt attached to the flexible mattress ends. The hospital bed frame has a pallet for supporting the flexible mattress and a chute attached to the frame beneath the pallet that receives the end of the flexible mattress. Multiple rollers direct the flexible mattress and belt. A motor supplies rotational force to one of the rollers and one of the rollers also provides for bending the flexible mattress to enter the chute, so that the end of the flexible mattress is guided underneath the pallet. A system includes the hospital bed with a detachable sanitary station. The sanitary station includes a toilet top and unites with the bed to deliver the patient to a position atop the toilet.

An automated bedpan system integrated into a hospital bed comprising a hospital bed comprising a bed frame covered by a mattress. The mattress comprises a movable mattress section moved into and through a longitudinal covered, internal slot integrated into the mattress and an electric motor powering a mattress track system to move said moveable mattress section. The moveable mattress section functions to cover a portal in the mattress that can be opened and closed by the mattress track system. A bedpan movement system comprising a lift system for moving the bedpan up and down to the portal for patient use powered by an electric motor.

A transfer apparatus for receiving the chair seat of a wheelchair and supporting the chair seat in the base of a washing enclosure. The transfer apparatus has a chair support member including a chair support track section that can be positioned in the washing enclosure base. The transfer apparatus also has a bridge portion including a bridge track section that is movably mounted to the chair support member. The bridge portion transitions between a storage position and an in-use position. In the in-use position the bridge portion is engaged with the wheelchair and the bridge track section is aligned with the chair support track section. The chair seat can be translated from the wheelchair along the bridge track section to the chair support track section when the bridge portion is in the in-use position and engaged with the wheelchair.

A bedpan having a housing including a chamber, a top portion including an opening to the chamber and having a circumferential edge, a proximal surface including an apron surrounding the opening, the apron extending from a circumferential edge of the proximal surface to the circumferential edge of the opening, and an angled side wall surrounding the apron, and a bottom portion including a distal surface opposite the proximal surface, and a distal edge of the distal surface, the chamber positioned interior to the housing, the side walls of the chamber being interior to the side wall such that there is space between the walls of the chamber and the side wall, the side wall angled outward as it extends from the circumferential edge of the proximal surface towards the distal edge of the distal surface, and a first handle formed on a first portion of the housing.

A portable urinal assembly for receiving a scrotum and a penis of an obese person while urinating therein includes a container that has a bottom wall, a top wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends between the top wall and the bottom wall such that a receiving space is formed therein. The receiving space holds urine. The perimeter wall has a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The top wall has an opening that extends therethrough. The top wall extends from the front side toward a central area of the top wall. The opening has a perimeter edge that is angled upwardly from the front side to the central area. A conduit is fluidly coupled to container and is in fluid communication with the receiving space. A cap is removably positioned on the conduit to close the conduit.

The present invention discloses a absorbent article configured for attachment to the interior of an child potty/bed pan or to be worn on an user. The absorbent article composes an absorbent core, first absorbent channel layer, intermediate channel layer and top permeable layer composes made up of permeable materials and further comprises an material capable of converting an liquid substance to an gel-like substance. Specifically, regions of the absorbent core first absorbent channel layer and intermediate channel layer may comprise an super absorbent polymer (SAP) material such as hydrogel, sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylate absorbents, or an biodegradable material such as an powder corn starch or wheat mixture or an combination of super absorbent polymer (SAP) and an biodegradable material.

An automated nursing system for handling waste material from a patient includes a mattress including an opening; a workhead for accepting the waste material, the opening of the mattress sized to accept the workhead; a main unit in water flow and pneumatic pressure communication with the workhead; and a main processor carried by the main unit, the main processor programmed to at least partially (i) cause negative pneumatic pressure to be applied to the workhead to remove the waste material from the workhead, and (ii) cause water to be delivered to the workhead to rinse the patient.

A bedpan housing is provided. The bedpan housing has a base, sidewalls and a top surface that a user may rest their body on. The bedpan housing defines an open front through which a bedpan may pass. In use, the bedpan housing may allow the bedpan to be properly positioned for use and removed after use without excess interference by a patient using the bedpan.
