Abstract: A patient positioner includes an upper patient positioner surface coupled to a lower patient positioner surface along a perimeter. One or more baffles couple the upper patient positioner surface to the lower patient positioner surface interior to the perimeter so as to define a plurality of air chambers within the patient positioner. One or more selectively engaging surface gripping zones are attached to the lower patient positioner surface and are positioned centrally along the one or more baffles on a one-to-one basis such that the grippy feet extend distally beyond surfaces of the plurality of air chambers when in a deflated state and retract within concave lacuna situated beneath apices of the plurality of air chambers when in a deflated state.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a patient repositioning sheet including an inflatable sheet having a lower layer and an upper layer that are urged apart with inflation of the inflatable sheet. The patient repositioning sheet further includes at least one inflatable support, such as an inflatable wedge. The inflatable wedge has a wedge surface that extends obliquely to the upper layer of the inflatable sheet with the inflatable wedge inflated.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are presented herein useful to provide a mobile air blower cart for an air supply or blower for use in treating patients, such as those with limited mobility. In one approach, a mobile air blower unit has a mobile air blower cart and an air supply or blower. Further, the blower cart includes a stand with a plurality of legs having casters therewith, a top basket with a center platform and wire sides for holding an air blower disposed on the center platform of the basket, and a retaining hook to retain a hose attached to the air blower. In some approaches, the cart includes a side basket sized for retaining therapy mattresses and a bracket around which the blower cord may be wound when not in use.

Abstract: Disclosed is an inflatable patient repositioning sheet that includes an inflatable body and a first air supply port and a second air supply port of the inflatable body. The sheet includes a first air delivery sock and a second air delivery sock in the inflatable body. Each air delivery sock has a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion of each air delivery sock is in communication with one of the air supply ports and the second end portion is opposite the first end portion. The sheet includes at least one anchor member resisting movement of the second end portion of each air delivery sock toward the first end portion of the air delivery sock in response to air being supplied into the other of the air delivery socks.
