  • Patent number: 5044378
    Abstract: A portable medical unit that is used during the medical procedures of extracting blood from and giving needles to children. The unit provides a concealed work area with storage pockets; a vinyl cushion arm rest; and straps to retain the child's arm during the above noted procedures. The unit features distraction elements such as a painted clown's face and an opening through the mouth where the child inserts his/her arm. When not in use, the work area remains concealed with a flap that opens only when the child's arm is inserted into the mouth. Also featured is the clown's hair which is made of synthetic material, is brightly colored, and offers a tactile distraction. The nose of the clown connects to a pumping system which, when the child squeezes inflates a balloon that is connected to the pumping system by a tube. The balloon can be removed and given to the child as a reward for good behavior. When open the two forms are secured in place by locking hinges.
