Protective patient procedure chair/table toe protective cover with improved hygienic and adaptable design for medical treatment furnishings
A protective cover improves the hygiene of patient procedure chair/table, such as a toe cover. There is a need to for an improvement on the ability to effectively disinfect all components of a universally adaptable protective cover applied to the toe area of healthcare furnishing/patient procedure chair. The embodiments of the present protective cover is universally adaptable to various shapes and sizes found in patient procedure chairs. Textiles selected for use include vinyl, medical grade upholstery vinyl, or other textiles that may be used in healthcare settings so that all components can be disinfected with intermediate grade disinfectants. The design also allows for decoratively enhancing the patient environment. Dental patient chair will be used to demonstrate images. The design can be adapted to various patient chairs and tables.
PATIENT BARRIER DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING EXPOSURE BETWEEN A PATIENT AND CAREGIVER
A patient barrier device includes a shield that defines a protective volume subjacent the shield and a patient's face. The patient barrier device further includes a fluid port in fluid communication with the protective volume. The patient barrier device further includes a mounting feature connected to the shield for supporting the shield relative to the patient's face. A system includes a patient barrier device having a shield that defines a protective volume subjacent the shield and the patient's face. The system further includes a pump coupled with the patient barrier device. A method includes positioning a patient barrier device over a face of a patient, the patient barrier device having a shield defining a protective volume over the face of the patient. The method further includes drawing air from the protective volume while the face of the patient is in the protective volume.
Patient Protection Apparatus and Associated Methods
Embodiments of the present invention are related to a patient protection apparatus with a first side, a second side, a back, a top and a front visor. The first side and second side each include at least one of a side arm aperture, an instrument aperture and an air filter interface. The back includes a plurality of back arm apertures and at least one back instrument aperture. The top has a wider length at the front of the apparatus and a shorter length at the back allowing the first side and second side to taper at an angle from the front to the back. Some embodiments include wheels for easy transportation and removable front enclosures. Other embodiments include smaller dimensions for ease of transport and more versatile application.
Tandem pivot mount for dental patient chair
A dental chair assembly comprises a base, a support, a first pivot mount and a second pivot mount. The support is configured to support a chair seat defined to extend in a forward direction and a chair back positioned rearward of the chair seat. The support has a forward side, an opposite rearward side and a longitudinal axis extending through the forward and rearward sides. The first pivot mount is positioned along the longitudinal axis forward of the rear side of the support and configured to support at least one movable arm. The first pivot mount defines a first upright pivot axis. The second pivot mount is positioned along the longitudinal axis and spaced forwardly from the first pivot mount. The second pivot mount is configured to support at least one movable arm and defines a second upright pivot axis parallel to the first upright pivot axis.
