Abstract: A body positioning mattress and a method of positioning a patient or person 0 to 90 degrees or greater in an upright supine or prone position while maintaining neutral skeletal alignment (non-flexed position) wherein a vacuum process can be applied to the body positioning mattress to remove air thereby molding the mattress around the body of the patient or person to maintain position. Further, the mattress may be placed onto a manual or motorized bed frame to position and maintain a patient or person 0 to 90 degrees or greater in the supine or prone position.

Abstract: A length of a flexible material such as a monofilament nylon is folded back on itself to form a loop and an elongated guide portion. The ends and portions of the flexible material adjacent the ends are fastened together. The trailing end portion of the loop is crimped so that when the loop is flattened, it folds at the crimp. A sewing thread that has been introduced into the loop is retained as it is drawn through the narrow passages of a serger sewing machine.
