Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an accessory for a hospital bed or the like, specifically an undersheet, that considerably simplifies changing the posture of the patient, both as regards the comfort of the patient and the ease of handling by nursing staff, preventing overexertion that can result in back injuries.
  • the object of the invention thus relates to an undersheet allowing a simple mobilisation of the patient when changing his/her posture on the bed, whether to prevent pressure ulcers due to long periods in the same posture or to facilitate changing the bed linen without removing the patient from the bed.
  • Anti-ulcer mattresses are known that address this problem; however, these are only applicable to patients who always remain in a decubitus supine position.
  • the undersheet of the invention solves the aforementioned problems in a fully satisfactory manner, allowing posture changes of the patient almost without any physical effort by the nursing staff, all of this by means of a structurally simple and functionally efficient solution.
  • said undersheet consists of a basically laminar body made of a textile material and in which are defined two chambers in the central area, laterally adjacent to each other, that are open on the ends corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the bed and are defined by three longitudinal seams.
  • Each of these chambers is complemented by an pillow that can be inflated by the corresponding valve, so that with the undersheet placed beneath the patient, when one of the inflatable pillows is inflated its increase in volume causes the body of the patient to turn in the opposite direction, and vice versa.
  • the pillows can be inflated by any suitable pressure source, such as pressurised air, pressurised oxygen or any other non-flammable gas of those usually available in a hospital environment.
  • suitable pressure source such as pressurised air, pressurised oxygen or any other non-flammable gas of those usually available in a hospital environment.
  • the aforementioned laminar body that constitutes the undersheet which has a longitudinal extension substantially equal to that of the upper body of the patient, is considerably oversized with respect to the width of the bed, and is provided on the sectors at its ends lacking the aforementioned chambers with fastener strips made of Velcro or a similar type, which with the aid of the bed railings, and specifically in each case with the railings on the opposite side of the bed, allow retaining the patient in a stable position first on one side of the bed and then on the other side in order to change the bed linen also with great ease.
  • the undersheet of the invention comprises a laminar body (1) with a width that is considerably greater than that of the bed (2) on which it is placed, such that its ends, corresponding to the label (1), will hang considerably off the sides of said bed (2), as shown particularly in figure 2, with said laminar body, at least in a wide central sector corresponding to the width of the bed (2), being provided with a double wall that, together with an intermediate seam (3) and two side seams (4), define two chambers (5) that are open towards the head and foot of the bed (2) and are meant to house corresponding inflatable pillows (6) provided with respective inflation valves (7), to which are coupled the corresponding tubes for introducing and extracting a suitable fluid, such as air, oxygen or another non-flammable gas obtained from a suitable pressurised source.
  • a suitable fluid such as air, oxygen or another non-flammable gas obtained from a suitable pressurised source.
  • the pillows (6) are introduced in the corresponding chamber (5) deflated, and in this state barely affect the general situation of the bed (2) in which the undersheet is placed beneath the patient, who will preferably be centred on the longitudinal axis of the bed (2).
  • the large end widenings of the laminar body (1) are meant to facilitate changing the bed linen, for which purpose said end areas of the laminar body incorporate on their lower or inner face a plurality of adhesive strips (8), preferably of Velcro or the like, so that during the bed linen changing operation, as shown in figures 4 and 5, after inflating one of the pillows (6), the end sector of the laminar body (1) folds onto itself embracing the railing (9) on the opposite side of the bed, so that the patient is displaced in the bed towards said railing, allowing to operate on the half of the bed linen of one side to then act in the opposite sense, as shown in figure 5 to operate on the other half of the linen, thus removing it completely; the same operation is performed in an inverse sense to place the clean linen on the bed.
