Abstract
The present disclosure provides for medical beds and methods related thereto. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to non-electric medical beds capable of assisting caregivers in supportively repositioning non-ambulatory individuals for receiving medical and/or non-medical treatment. In some embodiments, methods for reducing the risk of injury and discomfort for patients utilizing the disclosed medical beds are provided.
Claims20
A medical bed comprising:
- a multisectional mattress assembly having two or more separable longitudinal sections separated along an entire length of the medical bed and a sealable orifice positioned within and vertically traversing the multisectional mattress assembly;
- a removable fenestrated support dimensionally aligned and positioned below the multisectional mattress assembly and having a first orifice in operable contact with the sealable orifice;
- a first removable reservoir having a second orifice in operable contact with the sealable orifice and the first orifice, the first removable reservoir being positioned below the removable fenestrated support;
- a bed frame with a plurality of bed frame supports configured to support the multisectional mattress assembly and the removable fenestrated support;
- and
- a second removable reservoir positioned below the bed frame.

A method for repositioning and stabilizing an infirm individual for one or more caregiving activities, the method comprising:
- positioning the individual on a medical bed comprising a multisectional mattress assembly having two or more separable sections and a sealable orifice positioned within and vertically traversing the multisectional mattress assembly;
- moving the individual from a first position on the multisectional mattress assembly to a second position on the multisectional mattress assembly for accessing the sealable orifice;
- unsealing the sealable orifice by removing the separable section in the sealable orifice of the multisectional mattress assembly;
- moving the individual to a third position to optimize contact with the sealable orifice for performing a caregiving activity;
- repositioning the individual in the second position following the performance of the caregiving activity;
- resealing the sealable orifice by replacing the separable section of the multisectional mattress assembly;
- and
- returning the individual to the first position on the multisectional mattress assembly.

A method of assembling a medical bed, comprising:
- providing a bed frame configured to support a patient;
- positioning, on the bed frame, a fluid collection support having at least one sloped wall and a first orifice defined through the at least one sloped wall;
- positioning, on the fluid collection support, a fenestrated support having a second orifice defined therethrough;
- positioning, on the fenestrated support, a multisectional mattress assembly having two or more separable longitudinal sections separated along an entire length of the medical bed and a sealable orifice positioned within and vertically traversing the multisectional mattress assembly;
- dimensionally aligning the fluid collection support for operable contact with the sealable orifice and the second orifice;
- and
- positioning, below the bed frame, a second removable reservoir dimensionally aligned to receive fluid generated during use of the medical bed via a flow path defined between the first orifice, the second orifice, and the sealable orifice.
