  • Publication number: 20080083067
    Abstract: This invention comprises products which are needed for home use to care for adults who are incontinent or have decreased mobility. Caring for an elderly or disabled family member can be difficult. Hospital beds are expensive, and may not be affordable to some people. The bed of this invention will be made of molded plastic, which will make it more affordable than a hospital bed. The air mattress sections will aid in turning, toileting, and provide back support when sitting up in bed. The removable side rails will provide safety during use. The foam mattress will have a recessed area which will help to keep a bed-pad in place during use. The disposable bed-pad designed to fit the recessed area of the foam mattress is different than disposable bed-pads currently available. It will have a top layer which has polystyrene beads mixed with fibers for wicking and treated with a surfactant. This will allow fluid to flow through the top layer into the absorptive layer below, keeping the skin relatively dry.
