Abstract
A support surface for a patient support apparatus is disclosed. The support surface is adapted for supporting a patient and extends from a head end to a foot end along a longitudinal direction and between two opposite lateral sides along a transversal direction. The support surface comprises a first layer, a second layer disposed below the first layer, and a cover enclosing both layers. The cover includes an opening, and a sleeve is coupled to the cover. The sleeve, which defines an internal space, is disposed between the first and second layers. The internal space of the sleeve and the opening collaborate to allow access to the internal space from the exterior of the support surface, enabling insertion and removal of the medical device.
