Abstract

An integrated patient lift and transfer system comprising a bed plate, a mover base, and a lift. The bed plate is placeable on a bed and including a seat rest and a back rest pivotably attached to the seat rest. The bed plate is configurable to a planar configuration where the back rest and seat rest are co-planar and to a seated configuration where the back rest and seat rest are not co-planar. The mover base including one or more wheels and configured to removably attach to the bed plate. The lift including one or more transfer arms and one or more tilt arms. The one or more transfer arms and one or more tilt arms configured to removably attach to the bed plate and tilt the bed plate from the planar configuration to the seated configuration and to transfer the bed plate from the bed to the mover base.

Dependent claims

An integrated patient lift and transfer system comprising:

a bed plate configured to rest on a bed and comprising a seat rest, a back rest pivotably attached to the seat rest, the bed plate configurable to a planar configuration in which the back rest and seat rest are co-planar and to a seated configuration in which the back rest and seat rest are not co-planar;
a mover base comprising one or more wheels and configured to removably attach to the bed plate;
and
a lift comprising one or more transfer arms and one or more tilt arms operatively connected to a pivot arm, wherein the one or more transfer arms and one or more tilt arms are configured to removably attach to the bed plate and tilt the bed plate from the planar configuration to the seated configuration and to transfer the bed plate from the bed to the mover base, and wherein the pivot arm is configured to movably engage the one or more tilt arms to tilt the back rest relative to the seat rest to place the bed plate in the seated configuration.

1 more element

A method of lifting and transferring a patient out of a bed, the method comprising:

placing a bed plate having a seat rest and a back rest pivotably attached to the seat rest between the patient and the bed such that the patient is positioned on the bed plate while the bed plate is in a planar configuration;
providing a lift, the lift comprising:
one or more transfer arms, and
one or more tilt arms operatively connected to a pivot arm;
attaching the one or more transfer arms and the one or more tilt arms to the bed plate;
utilizing the lift to remove the bed plate and patient from the bed;
utilizing the one or more transfer arms and the one or more tilt arms to tilt the bed plate from the planar configuration to a seated configuration, wherein the pivot arm is configured to movably engage the one or more tilt arms to tilt the back rest relative to the seat rest to place the bed in the seated configuration;
and
placing the bed plate in the seated configuration onto a mover base such that the patient has been lifted and transferred out of the bed.
