A vertical protective device for a medical display hanger comprises a contact piece (1), a microswitch (2), a rotating shaft (3) and a vertical protective plate (4), wherein the contact piece (1) is connected to one end of the rotating shaft (3), the vertical protective plate (4) is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft (3), and the microswitch (2) is arranged on a microswitch support (10); and when a collision of the vertical protective plate (4) happens, the rotating shaft (3) drives the contact piece (1) to rotate, and the contact piece (1) triggers the microswitch (2), so as to control the medical display hanger (30) to stop moving or immediately rise. When an accidental collision of the medical display hanger (30) happens in a substantially vertical direction, the medical display hanger (30) can effectively come to an emergency stop or avoid.

The present disclosure provides a coupling system for coupling a medical accessory to an accessory support is provided. The present disclosure also provides a system for powering a medical accessory with an accessory support.

A clamping device configured to secure a strap to a rail of a support table or operating table is provided, which prevents the patient from slipping, provides optimal patient stability when the table is placed in angle positions, and eliminates patient re-positioning during surgical procedure. The clamping device includes a body portion having a plurality of rail arms that form a rail channel, the clamping device including a pivot jaw assembly with jaw rail flange portions coupled to sides of the body portion. The pivot jaw is hingedly operated between an open and closed position. The rail arms further include a strap channel configured to hold a strap disposed around the side rail, and to secure the strap to the rail using a clamp bar via force exerted on rail and jaw flange portions of the clamp assembly, to effectively clamp the strap to the table.

An apparatus a and method for networked transportation of patients or people with impaired mobility in a hospital bed, or nursing bed, having the following method features: a) a patient in question or an applicable caregiver is reported by a control centre as in need of transportation from one ward A to another ward B, b) the nursing staff on ward A beds down or puts the person in question into a special transportation bed or a special transportation chair and reports to the control centre when this person is correctly supported, this being able to be checked by means of a pressure sensor (23) in the lying area or sitting area, the identity being ensured by the nursing staff or being able to be checked by means of a patient identity card, c) the patient is automatically moved to ward B, d) the patient is brought to his treatment in ward B and then transported back to ward A by the same route.

A mobile patient support chair to assist in bathing of a patient by a carer with little or no upper body strength comprises a chair pivotally mounted in a support frame comprised of four legs each ending in a wheel. The chair frame comprises groups of support panels which can be locked in support positions and rotated through 90 degrees to provide access to the patient's legs, buttocks and back. Additionally the chair is balanced to allow easy rotation into a fully backwards lying position, and a fully forward lying position. In the fully forward lying position flexible retaining strips are placed across the patient to retain them in place. Additionally the wheels may be step-climbing wheels to assist in climbing small steps found in bathroom entrances and shower cubicles.

The present disclosure provides a coupling system for coupling a medical accessory to an accessory support is provided. The present disclosure also provides a system for powering a medical accessory with an accessory support.

Coupling system comprising: a base member connectable to a patient transport system, and a positioning member releasably couplable to the base member and equipment; the base member comprising: a recessed portion for receiving a positioning member end portion and having an opening defined in a base; and a retractable stop member in the recessed portion and moveable between extended and recessed positions and which is resiliently biased to the extended position; the positioning member comprising: an end portion receivable in the recessed portion and engageable with the retractable stop member when the positioning member is positioned in the recessed portion.

A device for selectively connecting mobile medical equipment, such as an IV pole, to a patient transport platform such that the medical equipment and patient transport platform can move together, thus providing a patient mobility while maintaining the patient's connection to the mobile medical equipment and therefore eliminating the necessity to disconnect an existing medical equipment (such as IV pole) and transfer the patient to a new medical equipment, while also allowing monitoring of patient movement and activity via electronics in the device.

Embodiments herein are directed to a wheelchair system that includes a wheelchair. The wheelchair includes a coupling mechanism, a processing device, and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device. The non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium includes one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to determine the location of an accessory, position the wheelchair with respect to the accessory, and couple the wheelchair to the accessory via the coupling mechanism. The positioning of the wheelchair is independent from a user physically controlling the positioning of the wheelchair with respect to the accessory.

Devices described in this disclosure can interconnect a wheelchair with another wheeled apparatus. For example, this document describes interfacing devices that releasably receive the front wheels of a wheelchair and the rear wheels of another wheeled apparatus in such a way that a user of the wheelchair can conveniently maneuver the wheeled apparatus in conjunction with the operation of the wheelchair.
