Abstract
A device in the shape of an arc, having a curvature of ideally 180 degrees and 12 inches or less width, can be comprised of one or more parts, engineered in such a way to facilitate the effortless turning and positioning of a bedbound patient—who is otherwise unable to maneuver or turn under his or her own strength when positioned within the arc. The arc is equipped with adjustable levers and harnesses so as to secure the patient within and prevent the device from moving when movement is not required. The device is configured with mechanical means to facilitate turning of the patient when required.
