Abstract
Antidekubitus Luftmatratzen sind bekannt, doch haben sie den Nachteil, dass sie hartgepumpt werden müssen, da mit der Patientenkörper nicht auf die harte Unterlage durch drückt. Anti-decubitus air mattresses are known, but have they have the disadvantage that they have to be pumped hard with the patient's body not on the hard surface presses.
Die Erfindung bietet eine Patienten-Unterlage in Form einer Luftmatratze auf welcher der Patient, ähnlich wie auf Wasser, weich flottiert, ohne jedoch an irgendeiner Körper stelle auf die härtere Bettmatratze durchzudrücken. Diese Wirkung wird dadurch erreicht, dass die gesamte Patienten- Unterlage in querlaufende, voneinander unabhängige wei che Luftpolsterungen aufgeteilt wird. Dadurch hängt der Pa tientenkörper in einer Flotationslage. Die Auflagefläche wird dadurch starkvergrössert und der Auflagedruck stark verrin gert. Ferner werden akzentuierte Druckstellen vermieden, weil die polsternde Luft von besonders schweren und kno chigen Körperstellen verdrängt und nicht komprimiert wird. Die Erfindung erreicht diese Vorteile ohne Verwendung von Wechseldruckgeräten. The invention provides a patient pad in the form an air mattress on which the patient, similar to Water, softly floated, but without any body put on the tougher bed mattress. These Effect is achieved in that the entire patient Underlay in transverse, independent white che air cushions is divided. As a result, the pa client body in a flotation position. The contact surface will thereby greatly increased and the contact pressure greatly reduced device. Accentuated pressure points are also avoided, because the cushioning air is particularly heavy and kno other parts of the body are displaced and not compressed. The invention achieves these advantages without using Alternating pressure devices.
