    摘要: A diaper changing apparatus that restrains an infant, child, or special need individual in a way that aids the caregiver's ability to manipulate his or her position and orientation to provide access to the diaper area during diaper changing activities. The apparatus allows the caregiver to easily lift the legs and buttocks, providing access to the underside of the infant, child, or special need individual for diaper changing activities. In some embodiments, adjustments to the height of the legs and buttocks and the separation of the legs may be made during a diaper change by moving a restraint of the apparatus in the direction of the desired adjustment. Some embodiments aid a caregiver by restraining the arms, chest, or torso to prevent the infant, child, or special needs individual from interfering with the diaper change, but without immobilizing him so much that the caregiver cannot easily adjust his position.

    摘要: A birthing chair for facilitating labor and delivery of an infant. The birthing chair comprises a seat having a seat base and a detachable seat cushion. The seat base forms an aperture for delivery of an infant therethrough. Leg extensions may be attachable to the seat base for supporting the legs of the mother. The seat base may comprise a joint that opens and moves the seat base and leg extensions laterally and expands the size of the aperture in the seat base. The birthing chair may further comprise a suspension system that enables the mother to operate the chair to adjust her position and height at will. The suspension system allows the mother to move in any direction while seated in the birthing chair and still remain supported in the birthing chair. The suspension system may be adjustable. The birthing chair may further comprise a back, headrest, stirrups and handles.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of positioning a patient. The patient is provided on a support surface, an inflatable positioning mattress disposed between the patient and the support surface. Air flow into the inflatable positioning mattress is initiated to inflate the inflatable positioning mattress. A downward force is applied on the inflatable positioning mattress proximate to a first side of the support surface. A portion of the inflatable positioning mattress proximate to a second side of the support surface is raised. At least one wedge is positioned beneath the inflatable positioning mattress. Subsequently, the patient is lowered onto the at least one wedge.

    摘要: A portable leg lifting assisting assembly includes a base having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. A plurality of wheels is rotatably attached to the bottom side. A post having an upper end extends upwardly from the base. A support arm has a first end and a second end. The support arm is pivotally attached to the upper end of the post and pivots in a vertical plane extending through the first and second ends. A lift mechanism is coupled to the post and the support arm is actuated to lift the second end up or down relative to the base. A beam is attached to the support arm adjacent to the second end. A pair of saddles for receiving a person's legs is attached to the beam.

    摘要: A patient lift system helps to lift and mobilize a disabled person in a home or in an institution with minimal effort from a caregiver. The patient lift system includes a lift, a carry bar and a hand control. The lift, the carry bar and the hand control have shapes and features that may be seen to facilitate quick and easy cleaning. Notably, gaps have been minimized for infection control purposes. Typically, a patient lift system includes an integral trolley for connecting the patient lift system to a track. For the patient lift system described herein, the trolley and lift system are separate pieces that are easily and quickly either attached or detached.
