  • Patent number: 11660243
    Abstract: The invention relates to a prone position device that is modular and has universal integration capability, for an effortless transition to a prone position in patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 or any acute respiratory distress syndrome through the use of a mechanical means that may be fitted into a full spectrum of beds to support a multitude of resting positions for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20200405554
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bed-sore prevention device that is modular and has universal integration capability, for effectively preventing bed-sores in patients through use of a mechanical means that may be fitted into a full spectrum of beds to support a multitude of resting positions for the patient. The lack of an assembly with boards disposed with a motor output and rails provides portability and offers solutions to proxy-health care providers, as well as care givers, with respect to fitting and unfitting the device onto any bed or lack of bed. Furthermore, the present invention solves the problem of limited resting positions with the use of mechanical means, as opposed to electro-mechanical means, for delivering or off-loading tension load onto the pliable support material. The use of a pliable support operably connected to mechanical means, with telescopic elongation thereof, results in a more precise control of a patient in a recumbent, supine, or prone position.
