  • Patent number: 6155260
    Abstract: A continuous care treatment platform includes a first service junction at a head end and a second service junction at a foot end. The first service junction delivers physiological surfaces to a patient supported by medically related utilities available from either an onboard supply or an offboard supply through the input service junction. An umbilicus, which includes a bundle of lines for conveying the utilities, has a first head end that connects to any of a plurality of standardized offboard service junctions and a second end that connects to the second onboard service junction at the foot of the platform. The standardized offboard service junctions make available larger quantities of the medical utilities. Continuous care is maintained by switching between the onboard supplies and offboard supplies available through the umbilicus.

  • Patent number: 5236390
    Abstract: A mobile medical unit (10) has interior space divided into a service compartment (24), a treatment compartment (26), an entryway compartment (28), and a storage compartment (30). An interior door (52) controls passage of persons between the entryway compartment (28) and the treatment compartment (26), an exterior door (58) controls passage of persons between the entryway compartment (28) and space outside of the medical unit (10), and an opening (64) is formed between the entryway compartment (28) and the storage compartment (30) for retrieval and replenishment of supplies. The interior door (52) and the exterior door (58) form between them an air lock to help maintain an aseptic condition within the treatment compartment (26). However, the interior door (52) is oriented at an acute angle with respect to the exterior door (58) to provide an auxiliary exit for recumbent patients along a smooth curved passageway (94).
