Abstract
A support surface suitable for use with a stretcher includes multiple foam pads of independent zonal pressure support such that a transfer of force by pressure on one foam pad to an adjacent foam pad is limited.
Claims19
A support surface suitable for use with a stretcher, the support surface comprising:
- a base layer;
- and
- a plurality of foam support zones supported by the base layer, the foam support zones including a head section, a body section, and a foot section separated by a plurality of lateral channels, wherein densities of the foam support zones vary by section.
A support surface according to claim 11, wherein the top layer is formed of a visco-elastic foam material.
A support surface suitable for use with a stretcher, the support surface comprising multiple foam pads of independent zonal pressure support such that a transfer of force by pressure on one foam pad to an adjacent foam pad is limited.
A stretcher pad comprising:
- a foam base layer;
- a middle layer including a plurality of foam pads defining independent support zones of varying densities, the plurality of foam pads being separated by a plurality of channels such that a transfer of force by pressure on one foam pad to an adjacent foam pad is limited;
- and
- a foam top layer disposed over the middle layer.
