    摘要: A sheet assembly for positioned a patient includes a base sheet a first handle interface, and a second handle interface. The base sheet defines a first axis extending in a direction parallel to a width of the base sheet and a second axis extending in a direction parallel to a length of the base sheet. The base sheet has a first end on a first side of the first axis and a second end on a second side of the first axis. The first handle interface is positioned on the first end of the base sheet. The first handle interface defines a first opening configured to receive a hand of an operator of the sheet assembly. The second handle interface is positioned on the second end of the base sheet. The second handle interface defines a second opening configured to receive the hand.

    摘要: A patient transport apparatus for use with a vehicle, comprising a lift mechanism between a base and a support frame to move between an extended configuration defining a first distance and a retracted configuration defining a second distance. An interface generates a user signal. A sensor generates a sensor signal corresponding to force acting on the base relative to the support frame. A controller determines if the user signal corresponds to an extend or retract command; determines if the force acting on the base has exceeded a predetermined threshold value based on the sensor signal; drives the lift mechanism toward the extended configuration where the user signal corresponds to the extend command and toward the retracted configuration where the user signal corresponds to the retract command; and interrupts driving the lift mechanism to stop motion of the lift mechanism in response to the sensor signal exceeding the predetermined threshold value.

    摘要: A patient positioning system includes a vertical link member and a carriage sub-system pivotably mounted thereto. The carriage sub-system includes a carriage having a first end and a second end, a first guide movably coupled to the carriage and having a first end and a second end, a first connecting shaft pivotably coupled to the first ends of the first guide and the second guide, and a second connecting shaft pivotably coupled to the second ends of the first guide and the second guide. The system further includes a patient bed mounted to the carriage sub-system and a motor drive system including a motor drive, a belt configured to be driven by the motor drive, a rotation brake system configured to selectively engage with or disengage from the carriage, and a slab brake system configured to selectively engage with or disengage from the first and second connecting shafts.

    摘要: A patient transfer device includes a chamber formed by an upper layer coupled to a lower layer, the chamber configured to be inflated and supported by a support surface in contact with the lower layer. The patient transfer device further includes a port configured for connection to an air flow device. In various embodiments, the patient transfer device includes a low-friction sheet coupled to a bottom surface of the lower layer, wherein the low-friction sheet is configured to slide against itself to facilitate sliding of the chamber relative to the support surface. In other embodiments, the patient transfer device includes at least one air-expelling region disposed within a bottom surface of the lower layer, wherein the region is configured to expel air from within the first chamber along the bottom surface of the lower layer to facilitate sliding of the first chamber relative to the support surface.

    摘要: A device, for grasping a limp body, such as a paraplegic or a quadriplegic patient (19), and transferring the body to another location or moving it into a different position, comprises two pivotally connected sections (12,13), one positioned to grasp the torso portion (18), the other the pelvic one (17). The sections can be kept in line with each other or pivoted toward each other to place the patient in a seated position. Each section comprises an upper frame (14) from the opposite longitudinal edges of which extends a pair of articulated grasping members positioned to move astride the torso or pelvis of the patient. The members include series of transversal cantles which can be directed to curl inwardly toward each other and securely enwrap and grab the load. The frame and the supported patient can then be hoisted, moved and deposited into a supine or seating position. Each member includes a series of successively hinged segments tilted by pulling cables.

    摘要: A patient transfer mattress includes elongate top and bottom sheets joined around their perimeter and by one or more baffles to define a cavity between the sheets. The patient transfer mattress also includes a valve in fluid communication with the cavity, and an outwards facing surface of the bottom sheet has a low friction material positioned at or adjacent to it. Methods of forming and using the patient transfer mattress are also disclosed.

    摘要: Devices and methods for bringing a person that has fallen to the ground to an upright position comprise frames adapted to receive a person's body after a person has achieved a lying position, inflatable bladders attached to the frames on which the person's body rests when the bladders are in an uninflated state, the bladders being inflatable from a first position to a second position, and fittings attached to the inflatable bladders for receiving hoses to allow the inflatable bladders to be inflated from the first position to the second position.
