  • Publication number: 20130160206
    Abstract: Bed-ridden patients may need to be removed from their beds several times a day, for changing of soiled linens, or showering. This may create an exceptional burden on cardiac, paralyzed, traumatized, post-operative, burned or obese patients. It also takes a toll on medical staff and caretakers. Close monitoring of fluid balance in such patients and those suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, incontinence, or bodily discharges, is often required, but currently such fluid losses cannot be measured. Handling of contaminated sheets can spread life threatening infections, and replacement of stained sheets is costly. The Bib sheet Poop sheet System addresses these problems and the problem of pressure sores. The Bib sheet, Poop sheet and Poop mattress may be made of impervious fabric to protect the patient's clothing, underlying sheets and mattress. A porous mat and marginal rim conduct fluids down to tubes draining into measuring buckets at the foot of the bed.
