Publication number: 20230329929Abstract: A patient turning device for a patient support apparatus. The patient turning device includes a first and second bladder assembly each including a plurality of layers and seals defining a bladder volume. The bladder volumes are selectively inflatable with fluid to expand the respective bladder assembly, and consequently move a patient support surface of the patient support apparatus. A portion of a lower layer of the first bladder assembly and a portion of an upper layer of the second bladder assembly define an overlapping region of the bladder volumes. The patient turning device is coupled to an underside of a carrier sheet and positioned between a crib assembly and a bottom cover. An augmenting feature is configured to resiliently expand as at least one of the first and second bladder assemblies receives the fluid to move at least a portion of the crib assembly away from a patient support deck.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: James K. Galer, Patrick Lafleche, Prachi Jain Slominski, Justin Jon Raymond

Publication number: 20230285176Abstract: A harness assembly for use with a patient transport apparatus is provided. The harness assembly includes a strap for securing a patient to the patient transport apparatus. The harness assembly also includes a guard configured for removable attachment to the strap, the guard including a base, a keeper, and a retainer. The base defines a channel arranged to receive the strap. The keeper is arranged for movement relative to the base between a released position to permit movement of the strap along the channel of the base, and a secured position to restrict movement of the strap out of the channel. The retainer is coupled between the base and the keeper and is operable between an engaged configuration to retain the keeper in the secured position, and a disengaged configuration to permit movement of the keeper between the secured position and the released position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Bradley Sommer, Annali Evling, Justin Jon Raymond

Publication number: 20230248599Abstract: A patient support system is provided for use on a litter of a patient support apparatus. The patient support system includes an expandable patient support and a control assembly connectable to the expandable patient support. The control assembly includes an inflator and a controller configured to provide pressure in one or more inner bladders at a first value when the expandable patient support is at a first width and reduce the pressure in the one or more inner bladders to a second value, lower than the first value, in response to inflating one or more outer bladders to expand the expandable patient support to a second width.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2021Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Ryan Ross, Robert Gregory Cox, Adam Robert Hoke, Krista Lynn Fox-Valsh, Justin Jon Raymond, James K.

Patent number: 11712383Abstract: A mattress cover for a mattress providing movement therapy to a patient. A patient support portion covers the upper surface of the mattress, and a bottom portion is coupled to the patient support portion. The mattress cover may substantially encase the mattress. An augmenting feature is associated with a peripheral portion with the augmenting feature adapted to move between a stored configuration, and a deployed configuration in response to increasing thickness of the mattress during the movement therapy. The augmenting feature may include concertinaed material, such as thermoformed plastic, and/or a fold of material coupled to the peripheral portion. The patient support portion and the bottom portion may at least partially overlap and be moveable relative to one another. The mattress cover may be included on a mattress overlay having a patient turning device, or on the mattress supported on a patient support apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: James K. Galer, Carrie Klain, Patrick Lafleche, Justin Jon Raymond, Kevin M. Patmore, Alexey Titov, Henry Kuhnen, Ming Chen

Publication number: 20220040019Abstract: A system for supporting and positioning a person. A flexible cover layer defines a support surface for the person, and a formable layer is coupled to the flexible cover layer. The formable layer includes a sealed bladder adapted to be in fluid communication with a vacuum source, and particles disposed within the sealed bladder. The system is operable in a first configuration in the absence of the vacuum, and a second configuration in the presence of the vacuum. In the first configuration, the particles are substantially movable relative to one another such that a contour may be provided to the support surface. In the second configuration, substantially immovable relative to provide rigidity to the formable layer to maintain the contour. A controller coupled to sensors may control the vacuum source to move said system between the first and second configurations. Methods of supporting and positioning the person are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: Stryker CorporationInventors: Patrick Lafleche, Justin Jon Raymond
