  • Publication number: 20110225726
    Abstract: A basin for use in at least one of irrigation, debridement, cleaning and other procedures on a subject's appendage includes a flexible body including one or more walls. A first wall can define an appendage contour, which can flex under the weight of the appendage, providing a comfortable seat that conforms to the subject's appendage. The body can be a monolithic, one-piece structure constructed from a closed cell foam. The body can include integral stiffening structures that enhance its rigidity yet still enable the basin to be flexible when adjacent another appendage or body portion. The basin can include a sloped bottom to direct fluids toward an outlet port for draining, and baffles projecting from the bottom. The basin can include a reticulated foam insert positioned adjacent the bottom, on the baffles, where the insert minimizes splash back yet adequately captures debris and other items washed from the appendage.

  • Publication number: 20080105269
    Abstract: A safety restraint for restraining a patient includes a main body resembling an animal or character. The main body includes a patient facing side defining a pocket, within which a pod having particulate matter may be placed to provide warming or soothing comfort to the patient. The main body can include fasteners adapted to engage corresponding table fasteners on a table to secure the main body over the patient. Optionally, a projection resembling another portion of the animal or character can extend from the main body, with additional straps extending from the projection. The straps can resemble yet another portion of the animal or character, and can restrain an appendage of the patient. A related method of using the safety restraint can be provided, which includes placing the restraint over the patient, warming the soothing pod, placing the pod in the pocket, and securing the restraint over the patient.
