A bed () includes a base () and a frame assembly (). A head end support assembly () and a foot end support assembly () are coupled between the base () and the frame assembly (). The frame assembly () includes first and second side frame members () located above the base (). The bed () also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms () coupled to the first and second side frame members (), and a patient support surface () configured to be coupled to the first and second side frame members () by the plurality of latch mechanisms (). A rotational drive mechanism () is coupled to the foot end support assembly () to rotate the frame assembly () about its longitudinal axis to a prone position. A proning surface () is coupled to the frame assembly () to support a patient in the prone position.

Proning bed

A mobile x-ray apparatus for generating a digital x-ray image and transmitting it to a remote site, includes: (a) a first computer; (b) a flat panel detector in communication with the first computer; and (c) an x-ray cart assembly removably supporting the first computer, which includes a cart with a battery charger and an x-ray machine in communication with the flat panel detector; wherein the mobile x-ray apparatus includes an x-ray tube extendible from the cart, and a mechanism for framing a target body area of a patient. Also included herein is a method of generating a digital x-ray image and forwarding it to a remote site using the mobile x-ray apparatus.

Mobile digital radiography x-ray apparatus and system

A patient support includes a base, and a support assembly coupled to the base. A patient support surface is coupled to the support assembly. A plurality of siderails are coupled to the support assembly. Each siderail includes a frame member and a movable member coupled to the frame member, wherein the movable member is movable to a position directly above the patient support surface.

Hospital bed

A bed comprises a bed support including a body portion and a support plate configured to be removably coupled to the body portion. The body portion includes a guide configured to operably couple with the support plate in order to guide the support plate in sliding movement into the body portion.

Hospital proning bed

A bed ( ) includes a base ( ) and a frame assembly ( ). A head end support assembly ( ) and a foot end support assembly ( ) are coupled between the base ( ) and the frame assembly ( ). The frame assembly ( ) includes first and second side frame members ( ) located above the base ( ). The bed ( ) also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms ( ) coupled to the first and second side frame members ( ), and a patient support surface ( ) configured to be coupled to the first and second side frame members ( ) by the plurality of latch mechanisms ( ). A rotational drive mechanism ( ) is coupled to the foot end support assembly ( ) to rotate the frame assembly ( ) about its longitudinal axis to a prone position. A proning surface ( ) is coupled to the frame assembly ( ) to support a patient in the prone position.

A patient support apparatus including a first patient support configured to be rotated about a longitudinal axis. The first patient support illustratively includes an inflatable bladder. A backboard may be removably coupled to the patient support apparatus and is configured to facilitate transport of a patient to and from the patient support apparatus.

A bed is provided for supporting a patient thereon. The bed includes a first bed component that is movable relative to a second bed component. The bed further includes a position detector configured to detect the position of the second bed component relative to the first bed component.

Bed latch position detector and method

A bed comprises a fluid supply and a bed support coupled to the fluid supply. A patient support surface is configured to couple to the bed support.

Proning bed and method of operating the same

A bed ( ) includes a base ( ), and a support assembly ( ) coupled to the base ( ). The support assembly includes first and second support arms ( ) located above the base ( ). The bed ( ) also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms ( ) coupled to the first and second support arms ( ), and a patient support surface ( ) configured to be coupled to the first and second support arms ( ) by the plurality of latch mechanisms ( ). The patient support surface ( ) is removable from the first and second support arms ( ) to permit transfer of a patient to and from the bed ( ) on the patient support surface ( ).

A patient support apparatus comprises a base, and a patient support assembly coupled to the base for pivotable movement about a pivot axis generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the patient support assembly. A pivot mechanism is coupled to the patient support assembly to rotate the patient support assembly about the pivot axis. A controller is coupled to the pivot mechanism to control rotation of the patient support assembly about the pivot axis at a selected rate of rotation and to a selected angle of rotation to provide rotational therapy to the patient.

A patient support apparatus comprises a patient support portion, at least one digital x-ray cassette coupled to the patient support portion, the digital x-ray cassette having a first port, and a second port coupled to the first port of the digital x-ray cassette, the second port also coupled to one of the base and the patient support portion.

Patient support with digital X-ray cassette

A bed (,) includes a base (,) having a first end and a second end, and a support assembly (,) coupled to of the base (,) adjacent the first end. The support assembly (,) includes a rotatable drive mechanism (,). The bed (,) also includes a patient support assembly (,) having a support surface (,) for supporting a patient. The patient support assembly (,) has a proximal end (,) and a distal end (,) spaced apart from the proximal end (,) to define a longitudinal axis (,). The proximal end (,) of the patient support assembly (,) is coupled to the drive mechanism (,) of the support assembly (,) so that the distal end (,) of the patient support assembly (,) is cantilevered from the support assembly (,). The drive mechanism (,) is configured to rotate the cantilevered patient support assembly (,) about its longitudinal axis (,).
