Estimating the term…
Abstract
A riser provides a support platform for a patient and includes a resilient pad covered by mesh material for supporting a patient. The mesh material and resilient pad are porous and allow liquid waste from the patient to pass through to an absorbent pad, keeping the patient dry and separated from the liquid waste.
Claims21
A medical apparatus for use by a patient, comprising:
- a porous riser including a resilient pad having a length, a width and a thickness for allowing fluids to pass therethrough;
- a mesh cover for encapsulating the resilient pad;
- a collection device to collect the fluids passing through the resilient pad;
- and
- wherein a density of the resilient pad is sufficient to maintain a spacing between the porous riser and the collection device when a patient is positioned on the porous riser and porous enough to allow liquids to pass freely therethrough.
