Supporting and maneuverable sling for bed-constrained patients
Abstract:
A flexible sheet with suspenders is used to safely handle and reposition bed-constrained patients. The suspenders include couplers and are used to secure either side of the flexible sheet to the side railing on a hospital bed. By wrapping the suspenders on one side of the flexible sheet over a patient and connecting them to the opposite side rail, a patient can be switched from a supine position to a turned position. A upper access hole and lower access gap in the flexible sheet then allow attendants to access the patients backside, where treatments can be applied. A flap is otherwise used to cover the upper access hole, being secured to the flexible sheet by a fold and a perimeter of hook-and-loop fasteners. The flexible sheet provides a safe patient handling method that will result in a decrease of workplace injuries.
