A powered surgical apparatus can be used with a source of irrigation fluid and a source of suction. The powered surgical apparatus can include a cutting blade assembly and a handle. The handle can include an upper portion defining a distal section connectable to the cutting blade assembly and a lower portion extending downwardly from the upper portion. The handle can be connectable to the source of irrigation fluid and the source of suction. The system can also include a manually actuable input device that provides at least one signal relevant to at least one operation of the system, and a controller that receives the at least one input signal and provides an output signal to perform the at least one operation of the system.

A portable mattress system has a mattress unit, a control unit, and a control panel. The mattress unit has a plurality of sleeves with transverse openings which each receive an elongate bladder, and has in a foot section a recess that can receive the control unit. A coupling arrangement detachably operatively couples the control unit to the mattress unit. The control panel is flat and thin and is coupled to the control unit by a cable. An arrangement is provided to support the mattress unit on the control unit when the mattress unit is in a deflated condition, and the control unit has rotatable wheels and a handle for facilitating easy transport of the entire mattress system to or from a bed.

Portable mattress for treating decubitus ulcers

A mattress unit for retarding the development of decubitus ulcers includes a fabric cover having therein a foam material, and includes an inflatable bladder and a control unit disposed within openings in the foam material. The inflatable bladder contains a foam material having spaced holes in it. The control unit includes a pump which can selectively supply pressurized air to the bladder, a valve which can selectively bleed air from the bladder, and a pressure sensor which can determine the current pressure in the bladder. The pressure sensor is coupled to an input of a control circuit which controls the pump and valve. The control circuit receives power from an AC/DC converter and is remotely controlled by a hand-held pendant, the converter and pendant each being physically separate from the mattress unit and being connected to the control circuit by respective cables.
