Abstract

A patient-bearing vacuum cushion (1) comprises an air-tight, flexible, resilient sheath (2) containing closed-cell granules (7), as well as means for evacuation of the sheath (2). Evacuation of the sheath (2) can reduce the air space between the granule grains (7) in such a way that the granule grains (7) are immobilised essentially in the position assumed at the particular instant. The granule grains (7) are embedded in an open-cell, resilient foam (6) which imparts resilience to the cushion (1) in the unevacuated state and can be compacted in the evacuated state. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Vakuumkissen zur Lagerung von Patienten, enthaltend eine luftdichte, biegsame, nachgiebige Hülle, die ein geschlossenporiges Granulat enthält, sowie Mittel zur Evakuierung der Hülle, wobei durch Evakuieren der Luftraum zwischen den Granulatkörnern derart verringerbar ist, daß die Granulatkörner im wesentlichen in der zu diesem Zeitpunkt eingenommenen Lage immobilisiert werden.The invention relates to a vacuum cushion for storing Patients containing an airtight, pliable, compliant Envelope, which contains a closed-pore granulate, as well Means for evacuating the shell, wherein by evacuating the Air space between the granules can be reduced in this way is that the granules are essentially in this too The position taken at the time can be immobilized.

Derartige Vakuumkissen werden zum Transport von Patienten eingesetzt, wobei sie im nicht evakuierten Zustand als in Grenzen nachgiebige Auflage für einen Patienten dienen. Wenn jedoch ein Patient transportiert wird, bei dem Körperteile zum Schutz gegen ein Verschieben immobilisiert sein sollen, wird die Vakuummatratze evakuiert. Dies ist jedoch nur bei einem geringen Prozentsatz von Krankentransporten notwendig. Dies bedeutet, daß bei den meisten Transporten von Patienten auf Vakuummatratzen der Nachteil eines gegenüber einem Transport auf normalen Kissen oder Matratzen reduzierten Komforts in Kauf genommen werden muß.Vacuum cushions of this type are used to transport patients used, in the non-evacuated state as in Limits compliant edition serve a patient. If however, a patient is transported using the body parts should be immobilized to protect against moving, the vacuum mattress is evacuated. However, this is only for a small percentage of patient transportation is necessary. This means that in most patient transports on vacuum mattresses the disadvantage of one versus one Reduced transportation on normal pillows or mattresses Comfort must be accepted.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs beschriebene Vakuumkissen dahingehend zu verbessern, daß es beim Transport von Patienten, die nicht immobilisiert werden müssen, einen größeren Komfort bietet. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Granulatkörner in einem offenporigen, elastisch nachgiebigen Schaumstoff eingelagert sind, der dem Kissen im nicht evakuierten Zustand eine elastische Nachgiebigkeit verleiht und im evakuierten Zustand kompaktierbar ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object the vacuum cushion described at the beginning improve that when transporting patients who are not must be immobilized, offers greater comfort. This object is achieved in that the Granules in an open-pore, elastically compliant Foam are stored in the pillow not evacuated state gives elastic resilience and can be compacted in the evacuated state.

Das erfindungsgemäße Vakuumkissen bietet im nicht evakuierten Zustand den Komfort einer Schaumstoffauflage oder eines Schaumstoffkissens, während es im evakuierten Zustand die gewünschte Immobilisierung liefert.The vacuum cushion according to the invention offers in the non-evacuated Condition the comfort of a foam pad or one Foam cushion, while in the evacuated state provides the desired immobilization.

Die beiliegende Zeichnung dient der weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung.The accompanying drawing serves to further explain the Invention.

Fig. 1 zeigt in schematisierter Wiedergabe ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Vakuumkissens in teilgeschnittener Darstellung. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a vacuum cushion according to the invention in a partially sectioned representation.

Das Vakuumkissen 1 enthält eine luftdichte Hülle 2, die in an sich bekannter Weise über ein Anschlußstück 3 und ein Ventil 4 an eine Vakuumquelle 5 anschließbar ist. Im Inneren des Kissens 1 ist ein offenporiger Schaumstoff 6 vorgesehen, in dem geschlossenporige Granulatkörner 7 eingelagert sind.The vacuum cushion 1 contains an airtight envelope 2 which can be connected to a vacuum source 5 in a manner known per se via a connecting piece 3 and a valve 4 . An open-pore foam 6 is provided in the interior of the cushion 1 , in which closed-pore granules 7 are embedded.
