Definitions

  • the invention relates to sliding mat for moving a patient on a base comprising two side by side arranged strips connected together along a part of their length, the mat having its surface for a contact with the base surface made of material with small frictional resistance.
  • a long-lasting contact of feet of the patient with the board may also cause a bedsore with known consequences.
  • To help such a patient is a very difficult task for two or even more assistants, as they should not make the situation for the patient even worse.
  • the said task is nearly out of capabilities of the assistant.
  • Just to push or pull a patient along his bed is for the patient very painful and may cause further medical complications.
  • In order to minimize an effort of an assistant and excessive pain for the patient some means have been proposed and applied.
  • a device comprising a system of rollers arranged in parallel and covered by a continuous band. Such a device is useful for transporting a patient from one base, usually a bed, to another one.
  • a similar solution is described in the paper US 3769642 .
  • a proposed device employs a sheet or continuous band of doth or similar material wide enough to span a body of a patient and a gurney alongside to which the patient is to be transferred with at least a portion of the sheet on the bed doubled back toward the gurney. The patient is moved to lie on the doubled portion and by pulling the edge of the top layer the patient is moved. Though both devices facilitate the transport of a patient they provide no comfort for both the patient and the assisting person.
  • a small frictional resistance is generated between the mat and the surface of a bed since the mat is made from a firm sliding fabric that does not adhere to other surfaces.
  • An assistant may thus easily overcome the frictional resistance even is a parson lying on the mat is motionless and even rather heavy. Nevertheless such a mat because of the partial lengthwise partition does not offer a stabile and firm support to the body of the moved patient and may get loose in undesirable moment.
  • a sliding mat comprising two side by side arranged strips connected together along a part of their length, the mat having its surface for a contact with the base surface made of material with small frictional resistance as designed in accordance present invention wherein each strip is at free end of its longitudinal portion provided with a transversal portion, while the transversal portion of the first strip overlaps at least partially the transversal portion of the second strip.
  • the longitudinal and the transversal portions of each strip are arranged in an L-type configuration.
  • each strip is at its bottom surface provided with at least one first strap arranged in the strip longwise direction and at least one second strap arranged in the strip crosswise direction.
  • each of the transversal portions is at its bottom surface provided with a third strap arranged in a longwise direction of the transversal portion.
  • Preferably at least one end of each strap projects out of the mat.
  • the straps are covered by low frictional resistance material provided at the bottom surface of the strips and at the bottom surface of both transversal portions.
  • each strap may have its free ends in a form of a loop and/or a handgrip in another preferred embodiment the free ends of third straps located at the same side of the mat are provided with mutually corresponding parts of connecting means.
  • the presented invention provides for a mat which provides for a regardful and painless movement of paralyzed, disabled or severely ill persons along a bed or a similar base. Simultaneously the mat facilitates the task for the personnel, a nurse or any other assistant even when there is only one such assisting person. Moreover the mat according the invention is not heavy, therefore easy to transport and allows for a simple installation and removal and is easy to dean after any application.
  • a mat consisting of two side by side arranged and along a part of their length mutually connected a first strip 1 and a second strip 2 .
  • a first transversal portion 4 At free end of a longitudinal portion 3 of the first strip 1 there is arranged a first transversal portion 4 and similarly the free end of a longitudinal portion 5 of the second strip 2 is provided with a second transversal portion 6 .
  • Both transversal portions 4 , 6 are so positioned that when installed the first transversal portion 4 overlaps the second transversal portion 6 .
  • each longitudinal portion 3 , 5 and adjacent transversal portion 4,6 are arranged in an L-configuration.
  • Both strips 1 , 2 as well as both transversal portions 4 , 6 are made of a firm water resistant textile enabling to wash the mat after use.
  • the top surface should be soft to allow for a comfort of a person lying on the mat.
  • On the bottom surface the strips and the transversal portions are covered by material featuring low friction resistance allowing for a smooth move on a base.
  • the term base here represents a bed, a gurney, a table or even a floor as the case may be.
  • the embodiment of the mat according the invention shown on Figs. 1, 2 and 3 has substantially a shape of a rectangle with cut off corners, while in the embodiment presented in Fig. 4 the mat has a shape resembling an oval, where both the head and feet side are shaped in continuous curve.
  • top surface of a mat or stripes there is meant the mat surface which a patient is in a contact with, while a term “bottom surface” relates to a mat surface facing a base on which the mat is arranged on.
  • head side applies for the side of a mat at which a person lying on a mat rests with his head, while the opposite part is called a feet side.
  • longitudinal direction goes from the head side towards feet side and the transversal direction leads across it.
  • each strip 1 , 2 is at its bottom surface provided with one first strap 7 arranged in the strip lengthwise direction and one second strap 8 arranged in the strip crosswise direction.
  • first strap 7 arranged in the strip lengthwise direction
  • second strap 8 arranged in the strip crosswise direction.
  • third strap 9 is arranged in a longwise direction of respective transversal portion 4 , 6 .
  • the first, second and third straps 7 , 8 , 9 are fully covered by a material of low frictional resistance which is arranged at the bottom surface of both the strips 1 , 2 as well as on bottom of both transversal portions 4 , 6 . Therefore in praxis, quite to the contrary to Fig. 2 , the straps 7 , 8 , 9 are not only invisible but first of all do not obstruct by manipulation with a person lying on the mat. Such an arrangement is simpler than straps 7 , 8 , 9 made of special material of low frictional resistance.
  • the second strap 8 extends along the whole width of both strips 1 , 2
  • the third straps 9 leads along the whole length of the transversal portions 4 , 6 and the free ends 11 of the second straps 8 as well as free ends 12 of the third straps 9 project out of the mat of both its sides.
  • the first straps 7 extend from the head side 10 of the mat down along the strips 1 , 2 up to the third straps 9 , while each of them has only one free end 13 projecting out at the head side 10 of the mat, nevertheless the first strap 7 may have also second free end projecting out of the mat at the side opposite the mat head side 10 .
  • free ends 11 , 12 , 13 of all the straps 6 , 7 , 8 form a loop, while in the embodiment according to Fig. 3 only the free ends 13 of the first straps 7 form a loop, while all the free ends 11, 12 of the second and third straps 8 , 9 alongside the mat have a form of a handgrip.
  • Free ends 11 , 12 , 13 of all the straps 6 , 7 , 8 may have also other form as presented here or any other distribution of the two preferred shapes.
  • the mat according the invention is applied in the following way.
  • the mat is inserted under a person lying on a base 14 .
  • the mat is rolled in a crosswise direction with each pair of third strap 9 free ends at each side of the mat bound together by connecting means.
  • the person is turned at his side and the rolled up mat is put along the body 15, unrolled and the body is turned back so the person rests on a mat lying on his back. All the free ands of all the traps 7 , 8 , 9 are loose.
  • the person rests on the mat with a crown of his head, full trunk, both arms and upper part of his legs.
  • the straps 7 , 8 , 9 the body 15 can be moved along the base 14 in a desired direction.
