Abstract: Method and apparatus for preventing bed sores in a bedridden patient. A low air loss bed (10) is provided including a frame (12), a first set of substantially rectangular air bags (58) for supporting a patient thereon mounted transversely on the frame, and a second set of substantially rectangular air bags (58) for supporting a patient thereon mounted transversely on the frame, and all of the air bags are connected to a gas source. The configuration of the air bags (58) is such that when the first set of air bags (58) is inflated, the patient supported thereon is moved toward the first side of the frame (12) of the low air loss bed (10) and when the second set of air bags (58) is inflated while the first set of air bags (58) is deflated, the patient is moved toward the second side of the low air loss bed (10). The configuration of the air bags (58) also retains the patient on the top surface of the air bags when the patient is rolled in one direction or the other. The operator of the low air loss bed defines the pressures in individual air bags (58) corresponding to each of three positions to which the patient is rotated. The pressures are maintained by a feed back control system which actuates valves connecting the gas source to separate sets of air bags. The three positions to be sequentially attained thereby causing controlled oscillation of the patient from one side of the bed frame to the other. Because each rotation position corresponds to operator defined pressures, the oscillation is customized for individuals of different body weights.

Abstract: A platform for supporting and positioning a patient on a standard examination table during medical procedures, especially procedures associated with the radiographic examination of a patient's breast. The platform includes a body support cushion having inflatable components capable of elevating the body of the patient as well as rotating the body of the patient clockwise or counterclockwise about a generally longitudinal axis. The platform futher includes a head and arm support independently positionable on the examination table adjacent the body support cushion. The head and arm support also includes air inflatable enclosures for elevating the patient's head during the examination. The body support and head and arm support cushions are positioned on the examination table using inflatable attachment means in a manner that defines a gap sufficient for allowing the breasts of the patient to fall freely beneath the patient when the patient is lying in a prone position on the platform. Appropriate side support and lower body support cushions are also provided.

Abstract: A fluidized bead bed (10) having a scale (14) integrated into the frame (12, 13) of the bed for providing a continuous readout of the weight of a patient supported on the upper surface (26) of the bed. The bed includes a fluidized bead bed support mounted atop a frame such that a torque, corresponding to the supported load is transmitted to the beam arms (36) cantilevered from each end of the frame and extending to the longitudinal median of the bed along one side thereof. Springs (44) oppose the torque and LVDT's (37) are provided at the distal ends of the arms (36) to produce an electrical signal with pulses of an amplitude related to the weight of the patient on the bed. A control panel (30) incorporates a signal processor for providing an accurate but readable output base on the LVDT signals.

Abstract: An air sac (58) for use on a low air loss bed (10). The air sac (58) is provided with a releasable connector for retaining the air sac (58) to the low air loss bed (10) and with a nipple (23) for receiving air from a gas supply source to inflate the air sac (58). The air sac (58) is also provided with a cutout (324) which allows the patient (348) to be rolled toward one end of the air sac (58) when the air sac (58) is inflated. A pillar (326) is provided on the end of the air sac (58) toward which the patient (348) is rolled when the air sac (58) is inflated to retain the patient (348) on the air sac (58). The air sacs are arranged in sets with every other sac (58) mounted to the frame (12) of the low air loss bed (10) in alternating arrangement whereby the patient is rolled first in one direction when the air sacs (58) of one set are inflated and then back in the other direction when the air sacs (58) in the first set are deflated and the air sacs (58) in the second set are inflated.
