    Abstract: An ankle/foot orthosis for supporting a patient's ankle in a neutral orientation, including a calf section and a foot section pivotally coupled to the calf section to allow adjustment of a relative angle therebetween. A brace extends between the backsides of the foot and calf sections for maintaining the relative angle in a fixed position, and for allowing adjustment of the orthosis into one of several predetermined positions including an upright position, a fully reclined position, and one or more intermediate positions. The foot section includes a heel portion that maintains positive clearance with a patient's heel, which is an ulcer prominent area, and prevents inadvertent contact therewith, particularly when the orthosis is in the upright position. In the fully reclined position, the orthosis provides access to the patient's heel and sole regions, and elevates the patient's leg and foot above a supporting surface.

    Abstract: An orthosis for providing abduction to a patient's legs comprises first and second leg engaging portions configured for operatively engaging first and second legs of the patient and at least one inflatable bladder generally between and operatively attached to the leg engaging portions. The bladder has at least one port for introducing fluid into and removing fluid from the bladder thereby to inflate and deflate the bladder. The bladder is positioned relative to the first and second leg engaging portions so that the bladder resists movement of the leg engaging portions toward each other when the bladder is inflated to maintain the first and second leg engaging portions spaced apart and thereby to maintain the legs of a patient wearing the orthosis spread apart.

    Abstract: A modular air mattress including three separate pieces, one to support the head region, the middle abdomen region, and the lower leg region of a human body, respectively. The mattress pieces include a low air loss ventilating air mattress piece and conventional, non-ventilating mattress pieces. The ventilating mattress piece is positioned to support a body region susceptible to bed sores, while the conventional mattress pieces are positioned to support non-bed-sore susceptible body regions. Each piece has means for releasably coupling to each of the other pieces so that the ventilating air mattress piece and conventional mattress pieces may be conveniently positioned, and securely coupled, in any longitudinal series. The releasable coupling means also facilitates easy and convenient replacement and/or rearrangement of the mattress pieces.

    Abstract: An ankle/foot orthosis is provided including a generally "L" shaped frame secured to a person's ankle region with Velcro.RTM. straps or tape. The frame includes an aperture located over the person's heel such that this ulcer prominent area is unobstructed by the frame. A cover, pivotally mounted to the frame, may be positioned over the aperture thereby protecting the heel from inadvertent contact. The cover may also be opened thereby providing access to the heel and enabling treatment of any ulcerous lesions on the heel while the frame is secured to the ankle region. The cover may also be latched with a cover latch in an over-center open position to thereby provide a support for elevating the foot above a supporting surface.

    Abstract: A ventilating air mattress includes a mattress cover having a down filled quilted upper portion overlying the upper surface of the mattress such that air escaping from the ventilating air mattress inflates the quilted portion. The differential air pressure drop across the upper and lower layers of the quilted portion of the mattress pad provides a pillowing or fluffing effect which increases the comfort for the user thereof. An air pump with remote control provides user adjustability of the firmness of the mattress. Alternate embodiments include a readily changeable mattress cover or sheet with quilting instead of the quilted mattress pad.

    Abstract: A chair restraint for supporting a patient in a sitting position from a chair or the like includes an upper torso support member having an orthotic support panel readily removable therefrom. The orthotic support panel is made from a plastic which is readily deformable by a heat gun or the like such that it may be custom fit to surround the patient both from his back and sides to provide lateral support to the patient. The upper torso restraint member includes a pair of straps extending forwardly to wrap around the front of the patient to thereby secure the patient within the upper torso restraint member. A seat cushion member includes a flat panel stiffener to provide a firm base for the patient and an interior cushioning member which is inclined generally rearwardly to thereby cradle the patient within the restraint. A center divider member of cushioning material provides two separately defined areas for receiving the patient's legs. Straps are provided for securing the upper torso restraint member to the seat cushion member, and both of those members independently to the chair frame.

    Abstract: A pill crushing syringe is disclosed which includes a barrel and a plunger, with abraded surfaces on each so that a pill placed in the barrel is crushed as the plunger advances within the barrel. The barrel has an aperture located near the closed end with a catheter connected around and extending from the aperture. The plunger has a sealing gland to provide an airtight seal with the barrel so that liquid may be drawn into the barrel through the aperture by withdrawing the plunger from the barrel to thereby suspend the crushed pill in the liquid, and the suspension may be flushed from the barrel by thereafter advancing the plunger into the barrel. In an alternative embodiment, a bi-level barrel has an aperture in spaced relation to the closed end forming a pocket wherein the crushed pill ingredients accumulate. The pocket at the closed end and the separation between the aperture and the barrel closed end helps prevent the medication from escaping the barrel via the catheter prior to aspiration. In still other embodiments, the syringe has a side entry plunger or two opposing plungers. In a further alternative embodiment, the aperture extends through the otherwise closed second barrel end and the catheter extends axially therefrom in better visual conformity with typical syringes. The abraded surfaces include radial protrusion patterns and a plug extending from the plunger prevents the abraded surfaces from meshing to thereby reduce packing of the pill particles between the abraded surfaces. The plug also blocks the catheter when the plunger is fully advanced into the barrel to prevent the medication from escaping via the catheter prior to aspiration.
