A jaw support device for supporting a patient's jaw during dental procedures. More specifically, a jaw support device comprising a headrest mount assembly, a split sphere assembly having a first locking mechanism, a ball joint assembly having a second locking mechanism, and a jaw rest assembly. The headrest mount assembly may attach to a dental chair headrest. The split sphere assembly may have a split sphere ball and an arm extension and may attach to the headrest mount assembly. Further, the split sphere assembly's first locking mechanism may lock the arm extension in place. The ball joint assembly may have a ball joint ball and may connect to the arm extension of the split sphere assembly. The jaw rest assembly may attach to the ball joint assembly and may be locked in place when the second locking mechanism is activated.

The present invention comprises a kit of a restraint ring, a base and a quick release, tamper resistant fastener. The base is adapted to attach to a fixture. The fixture may be a bed, chair, floor or wall. The base may be attached using tamper resistant fasteners. The base may be permanently attached or may be removably attached. The base is adapted to releasably receive the quick release fastener thereby attaching the restraint ring to the base.

Intensive use furniture having a concealed attachment device. The concealed attachment device comprising a building bracket attached to the floor or wall having a tab flange and a pin flange. A tab attached to the furniture in a mounting saddle. The tab extending out from a tab seat to slidingly engage the building bracket. A ball pin inserted into a hole in the side wall of the furniture is guided by a guide tube having a recessed shoulder for supporting the head of the ball pin. The ball pin in the tube having a head on the recessed shoulder and a shaft extending through the pin flange where the ball engages the building bracket. The tab connection providing support in the x, y and z axis direction. The ball pin connection supporting the tab connection in the x, y and z axis direction.

A foldable, elevating walker chair is disclosed having a height adjustment mechanism and a height limiter. The elevating walker chair has a unique lifting mechanism that allows the chair to be readily raised and lowered without motors. The weight of the elevating walker chair may be optimized by use of innovative bracing struts. The folding mechanism allows the elevating walker chair to achieve a compact configuration. Innovative components such as a swivel seat, hinges, seatbelt, telescoping wheel mounts, height adjustment devices and safety mechanisms may be included in the elevating walker chair.

A trunk control system having a harness assembly and a flexion control assembly. The harness assembly has a backrest member and a harness secured to the backrest member. The backrest member is configured to be moveably coupled to a wheelchair. The backrest member is selectively moveable about and between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position. The harness cooperates with the backrest member to define a receiving space for receiving at least a portion of a torso of a wheelchair user. The flexion control assembly is coupled to the backrest member of the harness assembly. The flexion control assembly is configured to selectively permit or restrict movement of the backrest member about and between the fully retracted position and the fully extended position.

A wheelchair body harness system and method for manufacturing such system comprising a vest portion and seat area created by a strap secured between a patient's legs. The wheelchair body harness may contain a zipper along the center of the patient's chest and abdomen area of the vest portion. Adjustable side and shoulder panels may also be included to accommodate patients of different sizes. The wheelchair body harness may contain straps and buckle members across the patient's sides and shoulders that correspond to straps and buckle members located on a wheelchair or wheelchair insert. The vest portion may contain a Velcro section on the posterior side to adhere to a Velcro back of a wheelchair or wheelchair insert. The vest portion may also contain snap parts interspersed throughout the Velcro section to snap onto mating snap parts on the Velcro back of the wheelchair or wheelchair insert.

A patient containment system for securing a patient to a patient transport apparatus, comprising a first lower strap and a second lower strap. Each of the first lower strap and the second lower strap have a thigh region, a waist region, and a connection region arranged between the thigh region and the waist region. A first connector is coupled to the connection region of the first lower strap. A second connector is coupled to the connection region of the second lower strap, and is configured to releasably attach to the first connector to at least partially limit movement of the first lower strap relative to the second lower strap. The connection region defines a connection width, and the thigh region defines a thigh width larger than the connection width.
