Problems solved by technology

The biggest disadvantage of using such devices for this maneuver is that the person being helped out of bed is forced to be very passive during the maneuver
Second, it's a very time-consuming process
[0015] Prior art devices can also have the disadvantage of being unsuitable for use with other patient transfer devices such as sitting devices

Embodiment Construction

[0054] refer to figure 1 Shows the main horizontal surface (3) of the bed, hereafter the top. The illustration shows a hospital bed, but it should be understood that it could also represent a couch, stretcher, exam table, operating table, or any other surface on which a person would normally sit before lying down on it. The starting position for the patient (1) is to sit on the longer edge of the top of the surface (3) before lying down so as to face upwards. The caregiver (2) places the mobile patient support (4) adjacent to the side of the patient (1), specifically on the same side of the patient (1) that the patient (1) will be leaning on to achieve in-bed support. The final recumbent position on the top (3) of the . The contact surface of the patient support (4) is preferably made of a material and structure that gives the patient (1) comfort, such as but not limited to polypropylene, wood, polyurethane, combinations of these or any other suitable material. The contact...

Abstract

A patient repositioning device includes an upper body support (D) and a lower body support (C) which are generally planar and laterally spaced from one another by a spacing element (E). A handle (5) can rotate in the plane of the supports, enabling a care giver to rotate a patient form a sitting to a lying position and then to roll the patient onto their back. Another embodiment provides a patient cradle (12) for cradling a patient from a reclining to a sitting position and vice versa.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for assisting a caregiver in changing the posture of a person in bed from a sitting to lying position, and in particular assisting a caregiver in helping a person get into and out of a bed or similar equipment. Background technique [0002] When lying down on the bed, the movement to lift the patient's legs up on the bed is onerous. The patient may have great difficulty performing this movement by himself due to the reduced strength. If the move is performed by a nurse, she or he lifts the weight at a difficult height and position. [0003] In particular, persons with mobility, strength, or other limitations that prevent a person from changing from a sitting to a lying position in bed or vice versa will need assistance to perform this task. In settings where a caregiver helps carry out this task on a daily basis, whether in a hospital, a special care facility, or at home and whether the caregiv...
