Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 An inflatable mattress 10 is shown in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The mattress 10 includes a plurality of inflatable cells 12A, 12B, 12C... 12F. In the illustrated embodiment, there are six compartments 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 12E and 12F. However, it should be appreciated that any number of compartments may be used, and that the number of compartments will generally depend on the size of a mattress placed on, for example, a bed. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention may be used on different sized mattresses that may be used for different sized beds.

[0034] Each of the cells 12A . . . 12F is a rectangular cell that is oriented parallel to the length of the mattress 10 . However, it should be appreciated that embodiments of the present invention also extend to square mattresses. In an alternative design, the compartments may also be horizontal across the width of the mattress. Other shapes are possible, but may require ...

Abstract

An inflatable mattress comprising a number of longitudinal compartments, each of which is independently inflatable. A method of changing a sheet or other bedding by sequentially inflating and deflating longitudinal compartments of a mattress.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to inflatable mattresses, particularly inflatable mattresses having a plurality of compartments, to bedding arrangements comprising such inflatable mattresses and to methods of changing sheets on inflatable mattresses. Background technique [0002] For the disabled, long-term bed rest is the main cause of various complications. Infections from bedsores and soiled bedding can exacerbate these complications. It is difficult to change bedding when the patient is immobile. Currently, this is done by rolling the patient from side to side while changing bedding, or if the patient cannot be moved, by lifting the patient using a hoist or other mechanical aid. [0003] Moving the patient is uncomfortable and may exacerbate any discomfort the patient is experiencing. Mechanical aids such as cranes are expensive and logistically difficult. In other cases where the patient has a fracture or hip replacement, movement may be prohibi...
