摘要:
A patient transfer sled has a support structure including at least one air cushion adjacent a major surface thereof. The air cushion includes a flexible material at least partially surrounding a rigid material, and a portion of the flexible material has a plurality of holes extending therethrough. Systems for patient transfer may include a support surface, such as a table, a patient transfer sled having at least one air cushion, and a source of pressurized air. Methods for moving a patient relative to a support surface include positioning a patient on a patient transfer sled having at least one air cushion, and inflating the air cushion with air to form a sheet of flowing air between the patient transfer sled and the support surface. The methods may be used, for example, to move a patient on an air film over a surface within a system.

A traveling device includes a support body, a columnar section extending upward from the support body, and a middle abutting part provided in a middle of the columnar section. The support body includes a right and left support parts that support the feet of a user. A right-rear abutting part and a left-rear abutting part (a rear-side plate) are provided at rear sides of the right support part and a left support part. A right-middle abutting part (a right elastic member) is provided at one side of the middle abutting part, and a left-middle abutting part (a left elastic member) is provided at the other side thereof. The feet of the user are placed on the right and left support parts such that heels abut against the right-rear and left-rear abutting parts and that patellar ligaments or shin bones abut against the right-middle and left-middle abutting parts.

A patient transfer sled having a support structure including at least one air cushion partially disposed within at least one pocket, and a fluid passageway extending through the support structure into the air cushion. Systems for patient transfer that may include a support surface, such as a table, a patient transfer sled having at least one air cushion, and a source of pressurized air. Methods for moving a patient relative to a support surface include positioning a patient on a patient transfer sled having at least one air cushion, and inflating the air cushion with air to form a sheet of flowing air between the patient transfer sled and the support surface. The methods may be used, for example, to move a patient on an air film over a surface within a system.

Supporting apparatus for supporting a user in one of a plurality of positions and for moving the user from one position to another, comprises a base; a body support carried by the base for supporting the user in a horizontal position; a feet support engageable with the under surface of the user's feet; a tilting mechanism coupled to and between the base and the body support to enable tilting the body support to a horizontal, inclined, or vertical position with respect to the base; a pressure-sensor carried by the feet-support which senses the pressure applied by the user to the feet-support and produces an output corresponding thereto; a weight sensor which senses the weight of the user on the body support and produces an output corresponding thereto; and a processor which processes the outputs of the pressure-sensor and the weight-sensor, producing an output corresponding thereto.

A system for turning a person from a supine position to a prone position and vice versa includes opposing patient support platens each coupled to a corresponding end of a first and a second COG assembly, the first and second COG assemblies each coupled to a corresponding one of a pair of spindles, each one of the spindles disposed on a corresponding lift column. Embodiments described herein provide for an axis of rotation that is adjustable with respect to the plane of either an upper or lower support platen. Embodiments provide for adjusting the separation distance between the axis of rotation and the center of gravity defined by the combination of the person and the supporting platens.

A patient lift has a base extending in a forward direction, and a mast mounted relative to the base. The mast includes a hinge configured to allow the mast to be pivoted relative to the base between an upright operative position and a folded position, wherein when the mast is in the folded position the mast is substantially parallel to the base and extends in the forward direction. A latch mechanism is configured to hold the mast in the folded position when the latch mechanism is locked, and to allow the mast to be returned to the upright operative position when the latch mechanism is released. The latch mechanism is configured to automatically lock when the mast is moved to the folded position.

A mobility assistance device to assist a caregiver to lift and move the legs of a patient with limited mobility while maintaining the relative position of each leg with respect to the other. The mobility assistance device wraps around and stabilizes the patient's legs and provides a single hand grip that may be used to lift and rotate the patient's legs in unison.

A medical assist device relocates patients from a first support such as a bed to a second support such as a chair or wheelchair. Upon location of the assist device to a position adjacent such first support, the patient may stand on a rotatable platform of the assist device. Upon actuation of the motor, preferably by a remote controller, the platform is caused to slowly rotate through a desired angular path to position the patient adjacent the second support. A steadying structure is provided for gripping by the patient. Under one embodiment, the steadying structure is designed to be collapsible.

An elevation chair having a seat which is elevated by a driving mechanism, provided with a seat frame and a seat main body attached to the frame as to incline forward, the seat main body has an oscillation mechanism to automatically incline the seat main body forward at a predetermined height, and an angle detecting means to stop the driving mechanism when the seat main body reaches a predetermined inclination angle. And, the elevation chair has an automatic braking mechanism which releases wheels when a footrest attached to a position above a front wheel is laid to be horizontal, and brakes the wheel when the footrest is standing.
