Abstract
Description
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medicine, namely the prevention of pressure ulcers in the home or medical setting for the care of sick people and the elderly.
[0002] Conventional medical beds do not have the ability to fully rotate the patient from the back to the stomach or vice versa, and the devices for such rotation are uncomfortable DE3590309C2 or US5054140A.
[0003] The present utility model is based on the problem of creating a medical bed with the aid of which it is possible to turn the patient from the back to the stomach and vice versa with minimal effort.
[0004] This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.
[0005] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to Fig. 1 to 2. They show: Fig. 1: Medical rotating bed - overall view. Fig. 2: View of the utility model with an inverted rotating frame and an open bottom.
[0006] The figures show that the medical rotating bed consists of a rotating frame (3) that is attached to the bed frame (1) by means of frame hinges (2) and fastening elements (16). The fastening elements (16) consist of an angle steel to which a shaft for the frame hinges (2) and adjusting screws are attached.
[0007] The medical rotating bed consists of a base (5) connected to a rotating frame (3) by means of base hinges (4). The base (5) has a hard surface on which a mattress is attached, serving as a support for the patient.
[0008] The medical rotating bed consists of a bracket (7) that is attached to the rotating frame (3) using hinges (6). The bracket (7) consists of a frame and a strong fabric attached to it and serves to secure the patient to the floor (5).
[0009] The device consists of side cushions (8) that are attached to the rotating frame (3) via cushion hinges (9) and to the support (7) using cushion straps (10). The side cushions have a hard base and a soft surface. This prevents the patient from slipping to the side when turning over.
[0010] The device is equipped with a drive wheel (11) which is attached to a fastening element (16).
[0011] The device has a locking device (12) which is attached to the bed frame (1) and serves to fix the rotating frame (3).
[0012] The device has mounting locks (14) and floor locks (13) located on the rotating frame (3).
[0013] The utility model is equipped with an electric drive (15).
[0014] The medical bed works as follows: The patient lies on the floor (5) while the support (7) and the side cushions (8) are raised, while the rotating frame (3) is stationary relative to the bed frame (1) and is secured with the locking device (12).
[0015] To turn the patient, lower the support (7) and secure it to the rotating frame (3) using the support locks (14). The support (7) should firmly secure the patient to the floor (5), and the side cushions (8) should provide lateral support to prevent slipping during turning.
[0016] Next, the locking device (12) must be opened and the rotating frame (3) rotated using the drive wheel (11) or the electric drive (15). The rotating frame (3) is secured with a locking device (12), after which the floor locks (13) can be opened to raise the floor (5).
[0017] The patient lies on the holder (7) and the side cushions (8).
[0018] This way we have access to the patient's back, mattress and bedding.
