Abstract
A limb elevating assembly includes a strap that may be wrapped around a limb of a user. A cushion is coupled to the strap. The cushion is wrapped around itself when the strap is wrapped around the user's limb. Thus, the cushion elevates the user's limb on a support surface when the user lies on the support surface. The cushion inhibits bedsores from developing on the user's limb.

A limb elevating assembly being configured to be wrapped around a limb of a user thereby facilitating the limb to be elevated when the user lies down, said assembly comprising:
- a strap being configured to be wrapped around a limb of a user;
- and
- a cushion being coupled to said strap, said cushion being wrapped around itself when said strap is wrapped around the user's limb wherein said cushion is configured to elevate the user's limb on a support surface when the user lies on the support surface thereby inhibiting bedsores from developing on the user's limb.
A limb elevating assembly being configured to be wrapped around a limb of a user thereby facilitating the limb to be elevated when the user lies down, said assembly comprising:
- a strap being configured to be wrapped around a limb of a user, said strap having a first end, a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a cushion being coupled to said strap, said cushion having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface being coupled to said bottom surface, said cushion being coextensive with said strap, said cushion being comprised of a resiliently compressible material wherein said cushion is configured to enhance comfort of said strap when said strap is wrapped around the user's limb, said cushion being wrapped around itself when said strap is wrapped around the user's limb wherein said cushion is configured to elevate the user's limb on a support surface when the user lies on the support surface thereby inhibiting bedsores from developing on the user's limb;
- a panel being coupled to said second surface of said cushion, said panel being coextensive with said cushion;
- and
- a coupler being coupled to said strap, said coupler being positioned on said top surface, said coupler being aligned with said first end, said coupler being complementary with respect to said panel wherein said coupler is configured to retain said strap on the user's limb.
