LT4722B - A mattress against bedsores - Google Patents

Abstract

This bed designed for preventing bedsores belongs to patient care devices and may be used in hospitals, nursing homes or at home for nursing patients or disabled people with motion disorders.The bed designed for preventing bedsores includes a base with an inflatable mattress which also includes two parts where segments are laid alternately on a plane side by side while an air injection device injects or exhausts the air alternately into/from the said sections. A segmented linseed mattress is fixed on the inflatable mattress, the segments of the linseed mattress are filled with linseed along their entire length though some space is left for free linseed movement, and the upper surface sheet of the linseed mattress is narrower than the lower sheet.The bed designed for preventing bedsores regulates the surrounding temperature, gently massages, protects from moisture collection and sheet rumpling under the body, disperses moisture collections and enlarges the body supporting surface.

Description

The mattress is a member of the Patient Care Device family and can be used in hospitals, nursing homes, or at home for the care of seriously ill or disabled people with impaired mobility.

In the care of severely ill patients with movement disorders to prevent bed sores, the body supports are massaged, protected from moisture, and wrinkles caused by bedding, hard crumbs or other hard objects.

There is known a thick seal between the occurrence of cavities (German patent patent class A 61 G 7/057, DE 4342420 Al, 1997), which is made of a spring material interwoven with springs. Thanks to this device, the pressure on the body surface is distributed more evenly when lying down than on a hard surface. However, the body is not massaged, it is necessary to place a thick warm mat over this gasket to prevent the patient from freezing from the bottom, and it is possible to accumulate moisture in sweat. Alternatively, additional equipment may be required to maintain the room temperature at a level consistent with body heat, but the patient may feel discomfort when breathing in warm air.

An inflatable mattress is known (Japanese invention patent class 5A61G 7/05, JP 6059292 B4, 1997). It consists of a base with a segmented inflatable layer on which is attached a weatherproof air mat with a hole in the middle above which is fitted a breathable air mat. Air is blown into the mattress under the mat, which, through the grooves between the segments, massages the body, and penetrating the conductive part of the mat not only massages but also dries the body. So the patient lies on the inflatable mattress grille. Its body support area is reduced and the support surface faces an airtight area. Constantly massaging the same points of the body eventually becomes uncomfortable, and constant blowing of the air from below, over a small space, can become unbearable. If the airflow is stopped, the patient feels rest on the inflatable mattress, the air-tight patch on the air-permeable patch, except that there is no air to get in because it is pressed. In this case, the opposite is achieved, and conditions are created that promote the occurrence of bedsores.

The goal is to achieve better efficacy in protecting severely ill patients from bedsores.

The goal is achieved by making the mattress in three layers. The first layer consists of a rigid base and an inflatable segmented mattress with two interconnected parts attached to it. They are alternately blown air. The air blower must be adjusted so that when drawing air from one segmented portion of the mattress, it will be blown to the other segmented portion of the mattress. In this way, the mattress segments move alternately, moving the bottom of the third layer. The blowing speed is regulated and the air temperature in the mattress is controlled. The third layer consists of a mattress filled with linseed. The upper part of this mattress is narrower than the lower one, so it does not wrinkle. See. FIG. A is a general view of the mattress; B - position of the 2-segment inflatable mattress, blowing air; C - arrangement of the segments of both parts of the inflatable mattress 2; D - linseed mattress 3.

The mattress pad has the following components:

1) basis,

2) inflatable mattress (2a - first part segments, 2b - second part segments, 2c - mattress blowing tips),

3) linseed mattress (3a - linseed, 3b - lower segmented mat, 3c upper mat, 3d - spacer),

4) air blowing device.

The anti-hell mattress works like this:

the mattress 3 is washed and dried, and the linseed is dried. Assemble and fasten to prevent separation of the mattress parts: base 1, inflatable mattress 2 and linseed mattress 3. Attach the air blower to the mattress blowing tips 2c 4. Place the mattress under the patient and activate the air blower 4 after setting the desired operating mode. The segments 2a and 2b begin to move alternately and move the segments 3 of the linseed mattress with the linseed. When very slippery, the linseed moves freely as the segments are not fully filled and the space is left 3d. This mitigates the movements of the mattress 2 segments 2a and 2b. Flax mattress 3 mattresses 3b and 3c are soft, rare weaving, and heated mattress 2 mattresses protect against moisture accumulation in them while on the body. This way the body is massaged and protected from moisture. Since the mattress 3c is smaller than the mat 3b, it is always stretched and has no wrinkles. The mattresses 2 and 3 slip away from the body weight, thus spreading the weight support over a larger area.

For example:

sick man in the final stage of cancer. The exhausted body no longer moves without the help of outsiders. To prevent bed sores, a bed mattress is placed on the bed, and the inflatable mattress 2 segments 2a and 2b blower the heated air alternately as the human body cools. By sliding the linseed grains on the mattress 3, moving the mattress 2 segments 2a and 2b, gently massage the patient's body from below, as well as distributing moisture from the body support surface. The mattress warms the human body, massages it, it is lying on the surface without wrinkles, and the larger area of the body rests because the linseed mattress 3 fits according to the body shape. The possibility of bedsores is greatly reduced.
