In the homes where elderly people are accustomed to living, the knee joints are subjected to a lot of stress when going up and down stairs, especially when going down them, which causes frequent falls and can lead to serious health problems such as fractures, hospitalization, and even becoming bedridden or experiencing the progression of dementia. [Solution] Hydraulic bags containing hydraulic oil are placed under the treads of each staircase, and the hydraulic bags are connected to each other by hoses with control valves. When the operating lever inside the handrail is gripped, the wire opens the control valve, and the hydraulic oil is pushed out by the user's weight, causing the treads to descend. The pushed-out hydraulic oil is injected into an empty hydraulic bag container on the floor below, causing the treads on the lower floor to rise and be at the same floor height. This provides an inexpensive, non-powered elevator "specialized for descending," allowing users to easily descend to the floor below without bending their knees.

Technical problem: Washing the hair of bedridden people has so far been painful for them due to the hard material of the basins or, when using inflatable basins, unsatisfactory for the caregiver, as wet bed mattresses are often the result. Solution to the problem: This new basin provides a soft and pain-free support for bedridden persons while at the same time providing a solid and secure tub with an external channel that offers additional protection in case of any water leakage. Area of application: Hair washing for people in need of care in a lying position. This is particularly helpful in hospitals, as well as in inpatient and home care settings, as it not only allows the patient to be cared for painlessly, but also keeps the mattress dry.

Apparatus and methods for a therapeutic boot that promotes the healing of pressures sores is described. Bedridden patients are prone to developing pressure sores over bony prominences of the foot such as a heel. The therapeutic boot includes a sides-down, open door design that provides unobstructed access to a wound site. The therapeutic boot may be designed to offload the patient's heel and bony prominences on both sides of the patient's ankle. The therapeutic boot is designed such that opening and closing the boot does not apply pressure and or friction to the wound site.

Technical problem: Hair washing for bedridden individuals has until now been painful for them due to the hard material of the basins, or, if inflatable basins are used, impractical for caregivers, since the result often is wet bed mattresses. Solution to the problem: This new basin provides a soft and pain-free support for bedridden individuals, while at the same time offering a firm and stable tub which, owing to an outer channel, provides additional protection in the event of water leakage. Field of application: Hair washing for care-dependent individuals in a lying position. Particularly helpful in hospitals and in residential and home care settings, since it ensures not only that the patient is cared for without pain, but also that the bed mattress is kept dry.

Device and method for turning a bedridden and immobile patient from left to right and vice-versa. It lessens the risk pressure wounds (bed wound, pressure sore). The device comprises a support surface having a variable geometry to create concave surfaces along the bed. The lowermost zone is formed to the left or to the right of the spine of the patient. Under the effect of gravity, the patient is turned towards the lowermost zone, softly. Once turned, the device also allows the centralisation of the patient towards the middle of the frame. The device may also laterally extend to give more space to a turned patient. By combining the shape change with a timer system, corporal pressure zones of the patient are cyclically displaced. It allows the turning of the patient based on current standards of care.

An integrated automatic turning bed system is provided. The system integrates the system controller with subsystems such as an electric turning bed, a pressure-sensing mattress, and / or an electronic diaper machine, and achieves comprehensive care for incapacitated bedridden people through automation and intelligence. By utilizing subsystem sensing and system controller to control and ensure the stability, reliability, and control accuracy of the system, the safety and comfort of the bedridden people can be ensured and care services are improved, which also effectively reduces the burden on caregivers at the same time.

A system for one or more of avoiding and preventing bedridden people from falling. The system includes a bed and a fall-prevention functional limitation device adapted to be wrapped around the bedridden patient. The fall-prevention functional limitation device includes a long smock provided with a cape and two pairs of side bands, an upper pair placed at the lateral ends of the cape and a lower pair placed in the lower part of the smock, respectively. Both pairs of side bands include the respective bands in mirroring position with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the fall-prevention functional limitation device itself, which is also provided with a hole for the passage of the patient's head.

A hospital bed with a movable toilet is an invention made to enhance the traditional hospital bed which is used by patients who are staying in a hospital, assistant living facility, outpatient care clinic or nursing home and are non-weight bearing or bedridden.

The utility model relates to a kind of weighing devices, comprising: load-bearing support, including the main body capable of cover being located in sickbed and the load-bearing crossbeam located in the top of the main body;Lifting assembly, located on the main body, and the lifting assembly is used to drive the load-bearing crossbeam to ascend or descend;Hanging scale, located on the load-bearing crossbeam;Net bag, with the detachable connection of the hook of hanging scale. Even to the patient who is partially inconvenient, bedridden or critical illness, only need patient to turn in sickbed can enter net bag. After moving main body cover is located in sickbed, and using the hook of hanging scale to fix net bag, then drive lifting assembly to drive load-bearing crossbeam to ascend, and the patient in net bag is weighed. Without carrying patient, reduce the work intensity of medical staff, reduce the discomfort of patient.
