  • Publication number: 20100043141
    Abstract: Apparatus to assist in the application of mechanical lifting force to a sheet. For instance, healthcare workers often roll patients, who require this type of assistance, from side to side in an effort to clean the patient, change the bed sheets on the patient's bed, or to prevent bedsore development on the patient. This particular apparatus allows for the mechanical rolling of patients using a more effective, and less costly mechanical solution than has been previously available. Less manual effort is required to roll a patient using this device, and nothing has to be placed under the patient to allow for the use of this device in rolling a patient. This device can be securely and safely attached directly to the bed sheet, which is unique in the field of patient rolling solutions. This device can also be used to boost a patient up in bed, if this device is applied to both sides of the patient while the patient is in bed.
