A single-chambered static pressure device and method for supporting and protecting a human lower extremity and for normalizing the pressure and forces acting thereon includes an inflatable wrap or boot-like device having a single internal air chamber and including an interior plastic sheet and an exterior plastic sheet joined peripherally together forming said air chamber therebetween, a nozzle valve for admitting air into the air chamber, and fasteners for releasably securing the inflatable device about the lower extremity. The plastics sheets forming the single air chamber have a plurality of aligned openings extending therethrough and the sheets are joined about the circumference of each hole for providing heat and moisture dissipation, ventilation and visibility therethrough. The device is disposed in an underinflated state about the lower extremity to allow the interior surface of the device to engage and conform to the contour of said lower limb during inflation to normalize the pressure applied to the extremity at the interface between the device and the surface of the lower extremity to prevent and better manage pressure sores and other lower extremity pathologies.

An air inflatable recliner including: a back and head support extending upwardly at angles between 30 and 45 degrees, comprised of individually shaped, air inflatable, cushions interconnected together; which back and head support is interconnected together with a leg and foot support, comprised of individually shaped, air inflatable, cushions positioned and interconnected together for elevation of the popliteal fossa through 120 to 150 degrees; and, an air inflatable support for dissipating body heat, which has a plurality of holes extending therethrough.

Recliner for medical convalescence

An air inflatable recliner including: a back and head support extending upwardly at angles between 30 and 45 degrees, comprised of 3 individual wedge shaped, air inflatable, cushions interconnected together in a single vertical stack; which back and head support is removably interconnected together with a leg and foot support, comprised of individual wedge shaped, air inflatable, cushions positioned and interconnected together in 2 vertical stacks for elevation of the popliteal fossa through 120 to 150 degrees; and, an air inflatable support for dissipating body heat, which has a plurality of holes extending therethrough, and which is positioned atop said back and head support.
