Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a pressure-eliminating seating apparatus for preventing formation and/or treating existing pressure ulcers, sores, or lesions, and/or relieving nerve pain in a lower region of an immobilized person, or any other user, is disclosed. The seating apparatus may include a body having a front edge, a pair of opposed side edges, a rear edge, a depth, and an aperture defined therein. To allow for the immobilized person, or other user, to sit comfortably and properly on top of the seating apparatus, the seating apparatus may be compressed to a depth of approximately 4 inches. The seating apparatus may also include a cover to prevent the depth from expanding to greater than approximately 4 inches. The apparatus may allow for suspension of bony prominences in the lower region of the immobilized person, or other user, in air.

Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, an apparatus for continuous collection of human waste products is disclosed. The apparatus may include a bed frame, a lower plate having a container coupled thereto, an upper plate having an aperture defined therein, a mattress having an aperture defined therein, a mattress cover having an aperture defined therein and an absorbent pad or drawsheet having a bag coupled thereto. The apparatus may further facilitate preventing human waste products from contacting the skin of the patient, thereby substantially reducing the occurrence of pressure ulcers. The apparatus for continuous collection of human waste products may also provide continuous zero pressure in the area of the buttock while maintaining the patient in a comfortable position. As a result, the apparatus can prevent and treat pressure ulcers that frequently occur in the area of the buttock.
