Abstract: Arrangement for preparing and positioning patients to be treated and/or cared for medically, with at least two devices for preparing and positioning a patient in a preparation area and with at least one device for medically treating and/or caring for the patient in a treatment area. The preparation area and the treatment area are different and separated from each other by mobile or solid walls in order to prevent any visual openness to other patients. The preparation and positioning device has a dimensionally-stable base for receiving, preparing and positioning the patient and a linearly guided telescopic device that supports the dimensionally-stable base. The dimensionally-stable base can be relocated or transported together with the patient, who by the linearly guided telescopic device without floor guidance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for preparing and positioning patients (12) to be treated and/or cared for medically, comprising at least one device (14, 14? 14?) for preparing and positioning a patient (12) in a preparation area (16, 16?, 16?) and comprising at least one device (18, 18?, 18?) for medically treating and/or caring for the patient (12) in a treatment area (20, 20?, 20?), wherein the preparation area and the treatment area (16, 16?, 16?, 20, 20?, 20?) are different and are spatially separated, characterised in that the at least one preparation and positioning device (14, 14?, 14?) comprises a dimensionally-stable base (22) for receiving, preparing and positioning the patient (12) in the preparation area (16, 16?, 16?) and a telescopic device (24), which supports the dimensionally-stable base (22) and which is linearly guided, in order to move the patient (12), who has been prepared and positioned in the preparation area (16, 16?, 16?) on the dimensionally-stable base (22), from t

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for the gentle placement of a patient in a defined position. In order to provide a device for the placement of patients which both allows gentle positioning and at the same time holds the patient in a defined position, the device according to the invention comprises a mattress having a surface able to adopt a flexible state, as a result of being subjected to a first control signal, and a rigid state, as a result of being subjected to a second control signal, a cushion which is filled with a fluid, rests on the mattress and comprises a flexible wall in the region of the patient or the body part of the patient resting on the cushion, and a fluid pump which is connected via a valve to the fluid in the cushion and via which the internal pressure and/or the internal volume of the cushion may be adjusted to a predetermined value.
