    Abstract: A support structure and method for at least partially elevating a person via a hoist are provided. The support structure is connectable to or forms part of a retention structure secured around a person. At least two connectors are configured for connecting to the hoist, the at least two connectors being located or locatable to enable selection of a first set of positions or a second set of positions at which the hoist is connectable to the support structure. Each of the first set of positions and the second set of positions extend along a span of a longitudinal axis of the retention structure. The span of the second set of positions differs from the span of the first set of positions.

    Abstract: A wrap system for immobilizing a spine of a person, including a wrap dimensioned to be snugly securable around a person and extending from at least the upper torso to at least below knees of the person to restrict independent movement of limbs of the person. The wrap includes a support structure including at least one fluid chamber positionable along a posterior side of the person when the wrap is secured around the person. The fluid chamber is reopenably sealable to enclose a fluid therein, the support structure immobilizing relative movement of a spine of the person.

    Abstract: A system and method for positioning an article under a person are provided. The system includes an apparatus having a first cover structure and a second cover structure, each having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface is movable in a first direction and the second surface moves in a second opposite direction. A coupling structure couples the first cover structure and the second cover structure, spacing them to enable the article to be positioned therebetween. The first and second directions of the first and second cover structures are substantially aligned. Movement of the first surfaces of the first and second cover structures in the first direction causes the second surfaces of the first and second cover structures to move the article positioned therebetween in the second direction by the second surfaces.

    Abstract: An apparatus for reorienting a person includes a wrap having a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion, the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion being releasably securable to one another along an anterior region of the wrap between lateral sides of the person and along a posterior region of the wrap between the lateral sides of the person via a set of fasteners. Each of the lateral portions are dimensioned to extend around a corresponding one of the lateral sides of the person and having anterior and posterior edges that are dimensioned to extend at most partway across to an opposite one of the lateral sides of the person. The wrap is made from flexible materials and dimensioned to extend at least from below knees of the person to above the elbows of the person and snugly retain the person therein.
