Bed sheet with an integrated body positioner
Implementations of a bed sheet with an integrated body positioner are provided. In some implementations, the bed sheet may comprise a sheet having an integrated body positioner, the body positioner may comprise a head portion, a torso portion, a first arm portion, a second arm portion, a first leg portion, a second leg portion, or any combination thereof. In some implementations, one or more portions of the integrated body positioner may include a removable pillow, or padding, that is positioned therein. In some implementations, the integrated body positioner may include an elevating foot portion instead of the leg portions. The elevating foot portion may be configured to act as a pillow for a user's feet and/or ankles. In some implementations, the bed sheet with an integrated body positioner may be configured so that it can be secured on a mattress, an infant changing pad, and/or any other suitable structure.
Portable medical lift and positioning device
A lift and position device and methods of use therewith designed to aid attendants in moving and propping the various selected body parts of a patient from atop a support surface, for example, a mattress. The device utilizes a base for stability, a separately powered screw jack, radial adjustment head, a cushion cradle and a single or plurality of fitted cushion(s) configured to optimally raise and lower a particular body part of a patient such as his or her arms, torso, legs, back and the like. All elements of the device are ultralight and ultra-strong, some or all of the components of the device being composed of Carbon Fiber, Aluminum, injection molded plastic, and Titanium. The device utilizes advantageous mechanics of jack technology modified to suit the specific needs of an attendant wishing to the lift, position or prop and secure a particular body part of a patient, for example, an immobile, obese or otherwise incapacitated patient. In addition, the device will aid in daily turning of patients, pulmonary relief via leg elevation and enhanced healing by securely holding appendages still and securely at various angles and heights for an unlimited amount of time.
THERAPEUTIC CUSHION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Apparatus and methods for providing therapeutic treatment for symptoms associated with GERD and/or other digestive disorders and/or other medical conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a support element that has a first end portion and a second end portion and a top surface disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of the support element. The second end portion has a height greater than the first end portion. A riser element is configured to be coupled proximate to the second end portion of the support element. A body element is configured to be disposed on at least one of the support element or the riser element. The body element has a first arm and a second arm connected together by an arc portion.
INFANT SUFFOCATION PREVENTION APPARATUS
Apparatus (10) preventing suffocation of an infant (I) by a person (A) rolling over on top of the infant (I) when the infant is lying on a bed (B), rug, or floor. In one embodiment, a frame (12) affixed to the bed includes a vertical section (14) extending above the bed on one side of the bed and a horizontally extending section (16) projecting over the top of the bed from the side of the bed. A sleeve (20) connected to the horizontally extending section is sized to accommodate an arm (R) of a person laying on the bed next to the infant and keep the arm in its position above the bed so to prevent the person from moving over or on top of the infant and inadvertently smothering or suffocating the infant, thus allowing the infant to lay safe on the bed.
Wrist support apparatus for computer work
A wrist support apparatus (100) for computer work, includes: a main body (110) which is a frame; and a support member (120), wherein the main body (110) includes a bottom portion (113), and side portions (111) extending upward from both sides of the bottom portion (113) in the width direction and facing each other. The support member (120) includes a support main body (121) made of an extendable material. The support main body (121) extends along the outer surfaces of the bottom portion (113) and the both side portions (111), is spaced apart from the bottom portion (113) in the upward direction so as to extend in the width direction between the both side portions (111), and forms a closed loop.

In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a support element that has a first end portion and a second end portion and a top surface disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of the support element. The second end portion has a height greater than the first end portion. A riser element is configured to be coupled proximate to the second end portion of the support element. A body element is configured to be disposed on at least one of the support element or the riser element. The body element has a first arm and a second arm connected together by an arc portion.
THERAPEUTIC CUSHION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Apparatus and methods for providing therapeutic treatment for symptoms associated with GERD and/or other digestive disorders and/or other medical conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a support element and a conformable riser element adjacent the support element. The riser element and the support element collectively form a body support member configured to support a user and define a receiving portion configured to receive a portion of the user's arm. The riser element and the support element are each disposed within a casing formed at least in part with a stretch material. In some embodiments, the riser element includes a polyester filler material and the stretch material includes a four-way stretch material. The four-way stretch material in combination with the polyester filler material enables the riser element to be conformable.
BODY SUPPORT PILLOW
A body support pillow design having a top head pillow with a pillowcase that preferably includes a head pillow insert. The two bottom corners of connect to four total side pillows comprising two side arm pillows and two side leg pillows. Individual corners of the side pillows are attached by connecting joints with each body length side divided into two preferably even, separate parts extending longitudinally that can move with flexibility to be positioned for optimal comfort between the user's arms and legs when laying down in a left or right-side position.
The body support pillow may be assembled into a compact, attractive unit for easy storage, display and travel purposes. Thus, a considerably more versatile full body support pillow with a variety of functional uses is provided that can be used to deliver cooler sleeping conditions during warmer weather, and with users who sleep warmer year-round and during pregnancy.
BED SHEET WITH AN INTEGRATED BODY POSITIONER
Implementations of a bed sheet with an integrated body positioner are provided. In some implementations, the bed sheet may comprise a sheet having an integrated body positioner, the body positioner may comprise a head portion, a torso portion, a first arm portion, a second arm portion, a first leg portion, a second leg portion, or any combination thereof. In some implementations, one or more portions of the integrated body positioner may include a removable pillow, or padding, that is positioned therein. In some implementations, the integrated body positioner may include an elevating foot portion instead of the leg portions. The elevating foot portion may be configured to act as a pillow for a user's feet and/or ankles. In some implementations, the bed sheet with an integrated body positioner may be configured so that it can be secured on a mattress, an infant changing pad, and/or any other suitable structure.
