Patent number: 11938069Abstract: A backrest pivoting system can have a backrest and an actuator for pivoting the backrest. The actuator is pivotably connected to the backrest by a pivot defining a first pivot axis. The backrest can pivot about a guide member which defines a second pivot axis coaxial with the first pivot axis. A backrest pivoting system can include an actuator and a resilient member mounted in series with the actuator. There is also provided an extendable user support assembly comprising a lower body support panel and a core support panel supported by a frame, the lower body support panel being translatable relative to the frame such that an opening is created between the lower body support panel and the core support panel when the lower body support panel is translated away from the core support panel. There is also provided a method for placing a bed in a vascular position.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: UMANO MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Sylvain Lacasse, Steve Bolduc, Jimmy Laflamme, Guy Lemire, Jean-Philippe Beaudet, Gabriel Mercier, Esther Berthelot

Publication number: 20230098355Abstract: A patient support apparatus comprising: a frame; a patient receiving surface supported on the frame, the patient supporting surface comprising a central panel section and a side panel section adapted to selectively extend towards to and away from the central panel section for adjusting a width of the patient supporting surface; a board supported on the frame, the board comprising a base comprising a sleeve and an extension member slidably received in the sleeve and a coil spring mounted to the extension member. The extension member is extendable laterally towards to and away from the sleeve for adjusting a width of the base and the coil spring is adapted to counteract an external force applied to the outer end of the extension member. The board comprises a vertical panel that is movable to follow movement of the extension member laterally towards and away from the sleeve.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: UMANO MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Jimmy LAFLAMME, Jérôme MARCOTTE, Mathieu MERCIER, Jérôme GOSSELIN, Esther BERTHELOT, Frédérik LÉVESQUE, Ahmed ATOUBI
