Two-seat mechanized patient transfer-treatment system that enables a single caregiver to move and deliver multi-services directly to bedridden and low-mobility patients at any time and distance from the support surface without removing the patient from the support seat. The system provides a chain of temporarily built service assemblies, of a top unit to which two seats can be removably connected and one of a quantity of different mobile or stationary bases, adapted for modification to serve a sequence of multifunctional indoor-outdoor operations, and wherein a single caregiver can make changes at any time during the service.

Patient transfer-treatment centers (PTTCs) as a line of safe patient handling (SPH) devices for multi-service bedridden and low-mobility patients by a single caregiver

Transfer apparatus designed as a mobile, generally C-shaped frame assembly including top and bottom portions removably connected by at least one spacer and a seat adapted to support a patient in a sitting or suspended sitting position at multiple levels. A horizontal part of the top portion is a seat support, the bottom portion is a wheeled base, and spacers fix a selected height of the seat support. The apparatus operates on patient support surfaces with and without vertical movement capability, enables use of a commode over and away from the bed by the patient in a seating position, and enables changing of a seat under the sitting patient. The transfer apparatus provides a cost effective, lightweight, rigid, without moving parts mobile seat support assembly as a commode/wheelchair (C/W) capable of performing multifunctional safe patient transfer to and from patient support surfaces with and without vertical movement.

Mobile seat supporting transfer apparatus

A patient lateral repositioning system to move a patient positioned on a patient support of a bed. The system includes a mounting and a pulling system. To enable strength and compactness of the entire system, the mounting is a constructive element removably attached to the support surface to form an integrated structure able to withstand a pulling force to move the patient on any type of a bed positioned apart and independent from the patient lateral repositioning system and the support surface. The pulling system is a set of components including at least one retainer, a guiding element, a drive, a gripper and at least one flexible pulling cable supported by the guiding element and connecting the drive with the gripper.

Patient lateral repositioning system and method

A patient repositioning system to move and fix a patient body and/or a limb of a patient body in any sequence of multiple operations with positive body or limb support at any angle of rotation or repositioning.

Patient repositioning system and method of moving a patient body or limb

A patient transfer assembly for moving a sheet on a structure having a transfer surface. The patient transfer assembly includes a gripper adapted for attachment to the sheet, a drive shaft, a cable connected to the gripper and connected to the drive shaft, and a handle connected to the drive shaft for rotating the drive shaft. The handle is adapted to be positioned at a level that is ergonomically comfortable for the user during operation of the assembly. The patient transfer assembly may also include an adjustably positionable idler shaft for guiding the cable between the drive shaft and the transfer surface. Further embodiments of the patient transfer assembly may include an adjustably positionable extension arm for rotation of the drive shaft.

Patient positioning assembly

A patient transfer assembly using the movement of a structure as a source of power for moving a sheet across a structure having a transfer surface, a stationary base and a movable platform. The patient transfer assembly includes a gripper adapted for attached to the sheet on the transfer surface and a cable coupled to the gripper and entrained around a guide pulley fixed relative to the movable platform. When the movable platform moves from one position to a second position, the cable pulls the gripper thereby pulling the sheet and moving the patient. The patient transfer assembly may also include a second cable and drive shaft to assist in moving the patient as well as a trapeze to assist in rotating or lifting the patient.
