Definitions

• the present invention relates to an accessory for a clinical or similar bed 10, specifically to a meddle, which makes it possible to greatly facilitate the patient's postural changes, both in terms of the patient's own comfort and ease of handling for nurses, avoiding over-efforts that could cause back injuries.
• the object of the invention is consequently focused on an entanglement with which an easy mobilization of the patient is achieved, to change position on the bed, either to avoid bedsores or pressure ulcers due to long periods of permanence in the same posture, either 20 to facilitate the change of bedding without removing the sick person from it.
• Liquid silicone beds are also known, very highly sophisticated, which constitute a very complex solution to achieve the mobility of the patient with the consequent economic impact that this implies.
• the meddling that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the above-mentioned problem, allowing postural changes of the patient without practically physical effort by the nursing staff, and this with a structurally simple and functionally effective solution.
• this intermission consists of a basically laminar body, of a textile nature, in which two Bedrooms, laterally adjacent, in their central area, open at the ends corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the bed and defined by three longitudinal seam lines.
• Each one of these bedrooms is complemented by an inflatable pillow through the corresponding valve, so that the intermission under the patient is placed when the inflation of one of the inflatable pillows occurs, the increase in the volume of the pillows causes the body to tilt. of the patient in the opposite direction, and vice versa.
• Any suitable pressure source such as pressurized air, pressurized oxygen or any other non-flammable gas, of which they are usually available in any hospital environment, can be used for inflation of each pillow. 5
• said laminar body constituting the intermittent whose longitudinal dimension adjusts substantially to the area of the trunk of the patient, is considerably oversized in width with respect to the width of or bed, being equipped in its extreme sectors, oblivious to the aforementioned self-fixing means cameras such as "sailboat” type adhesive strips or similar, that with the collaboration of the bed railings, specifically in each case with that of the side On the contrary, they allow the patient to be held in a stable manner first on one of the sides of the bed and then on the other side to change their clothes also very easily.
• Figure 1 Shows a schematic perspective representation of a meddling for postural changes of patients performed in accordance with the object of the present invention, conveniently located on the mattress of a bed, in which the complementary pillows or inflatables appear in a situation initial assembly on the corresponding bedrooms and in a deflated situation.
• Figure 2. It shows a situation similar to that of the previous figure, with the mezzanine properly mounted on a bed and with one of the inflatable pillows in inflation position.
• Figure 3. Shows a bottom plan view of the fully extended mezzanine.
• the entanglement that the invention proposes is constituted from a laminar body (1), of a width considerably greater than that of the bed (2) to which it is to be adapted, so that its extreme zones, in correspondence with the reference itself (1), hang substantially on the sides of said bed (2), as seen especially in Figure 2, laminar body provided at least in a large central sector, corresponding to the width of the bed (2), of a double wall that, with the collaboration of a sewing line intermediate (3) and two lateral seam lines (4), determine two 5 bedrooms (5), open towards the headboard and towards the bed footrest (2) and intended to accommodate inflatable pillows (6) provided with respective inflation valves (7) to which respective conduits for the introduction and extraction of an appropriate fluid, such as air, oxygen or other non-flammable gas from any source or appropriate pressure, are coupled.
• an appropriate fluid such as air, oxygen or other non-flammable gas from any source or appropriate pressure
• the pillows (6) are introduced deflated inside the corresponding bedrooms (5), and in such a situation they hardly influence the general context of the bed, in which the intermission will be located under 5 of the patient and this one preferably centered on the longitudinal axis of the bed (2).
• the wide end expansions of the sheet body (1) are intended to facilitate the change of the bedding and for this purpose it is provided that said end areas of the sheet body incorporate a plurality of adhesive strips (8) on its face or bottom or inner , preferably of type
