A positioning cushion prevents a sitting infirm patient from sliding forward. The cushion comprises a base portion, and gel bladder filled with a gelatinous mixture of resin and water, and a top cover. The base portion defines thigh supporting recesses and a trough receiving the gel bladder. The base portion and top cover are constructed of a rigid urethane foam and an ergonomic urethane foam respectively. The aforementioned three parts may be then covered with a fabric cover.

Gel containing positioning cushion for infirm patients

A sterile packaging system for a pipetter sheath is disclosed. The packaging system comprises two inner thermoplastic strips sandwiched between two outer paper covers. The inner strips and outer covers are connected along a tear seal formed by an electromagnetic heat sealer. The tear seal is generally in the shape of a pipetter. To remove the sheath from the package and place it onto a pipetter, one of the outer covers is removed, the pipetter placed into the partially exposed sheath, and the remaining cover removed thereby leaving the sheath on the pipetter.

Sheath package for pipetters

In a cushion designed to prevent decubitus, a bladder containing a liquid gel is mounted enclosed within a gussetted cover. The bladder is provided with extension panels on opposite sides thereof, which are fixed to the cover by sealing along seal lines where the gusset of the cover is joined by sealing to the top panel of the cover. Resilient foam slabs are positioned in the cover between the bladder and top panel of the cover and between the bladder and the bottom panel of the cover. The cushion is manufactured by mounting blanks for the gusset and the top and bottom panels of the cushion, as well as the bladder on a rectangular tubular electrode, by being wrapped and maintained around the top and bottom profile of the electrode. The electrode is then used to heat seal the gusset and panel blanks and bladder together in one sealing step along seal lines defined by the top and bottom profiles of the electrode.
