  • Patent number: 8292310
    Abstract: The invention is Bedside-ready Patient Ambulatory Device to facilitate a patient in getting out of bed and moving about. The device itself includes three significant parts. The first is a U-shaped base frame member supported by six castor type wheels. The second member is a midframe member which is generally U-shaped and upwardly extending bent above the mid point of the distal legs of the U-shaped midframe member to form an upper portion generally planar with the underlying U-shaped base frame member. The third element is an I.V. pole supported vertically by crossbars on the midframe member and the base frame member. The device facilitates the ambulatory movement of a patient while serving as a transport vehicle for needed treatment paraphernalia.

  • Patent number: 7950405
    Abstract: The invention is an Enhanced Patient Mobility Apparatus for use by ambulatory or recovering patients. The Enhanced Mobility Apparatus is fabricated from sturdy tubular material and has a lower U-shaped base frame member mounted on casters with an upwardly extending mid frame member and two vertical supports attached thereto and each also attached at its lower extremity to the lower U-shaped base frame member. The U-shaped base frame member, the mid frame member and the two vertical supports define a walking space for the patient with provision for the possibility of the patient also being able to move about with oxygen tanks, a patient intravenous drip apparatus and other medical devices and apparatus which must be transported by an ambulatory patient.
