Abstract
The present invention relates to a system to reduce pressure-induced skin and soft tissue injury to patients, and more particularly to a system of lightweight, packable support pad or pads to alleviate contact pressure, friction, temperature, and moisture.
Claims26
A pressure injury relief system for recovery and transport of a patient, comprising:
- a cushioning support comprising a plurality of adjacent attached polygonal padding blocks of varying density, said plurality of adjacent padding blocks being arranged in a side-by-side pattern to define a patient interfacing surface, an opposing support surface, and a cut-out region fully traversing through patient interfacing surface and opposing support surface of said cushioning support and surrounded by said padding blocks and configured to correspond to said patient's bony prominence when said patient lies on said cushioning support and eliminate contact with said bony prominence in the cut-out region;
- a cover encapsulating all of said padding blocks and configured to maintain said padding blocks in said side-by-side pattern, said cover further comprising,
- a patient interfacing section on one side welded to a non-interfacing section on an opposing side along a sidelong seam, the patent interfacing section further comprising a waterproof, non-breathable, stretchable fabric,
- the non-patient interfacing section further comprising a waterproof, non-breathable tear-resistant fabric,
- at least one vent penetrating said cover and forming a passage across the cover.

A pressure injury relief system for recovery and transport of a patient, comprising:
- a plurality of adjacent attached polygonal padding blocks of varying density, said plurality of adjacent padding blocks including an upper rectangular padding block, a lower trapezoidal padding block, and a pair of middle padding blocks both comprised of a first layer of foam with a density ranging between 1.2-1.8 lbs/ft3 and a second layer of foam with a density ranging between 1.5-2.1 lbs/ft3, all of said padding blocks being arranged side-by-side in a hexagonal pattern to define a patient interfacing surface, an opposing support surface, and at least one cut-out region fully traversing through patient interfacing surface and opposing support surface of said cushioning support between said middle padding blocks and configured to correspond to said patient's bony prominence when said patient lies on said cushioning support and eliminate contact with said bony prominence in the cut-out region;
- a cover encapsulating all of said padding blocks, said cover comprising a patient interfacing section welded to a non-interfacing section along a seam, the patent interfacing section further comprising a waterproof, non-breathable, stretchable fabric, and the non-patient interfacing side further comprising a waterproof, non-breathable tear-resistant fabric.
A pressure injury relief system for recovery and transport of a patient, comprising:
- a harness system comprising a plurality of interconnecting webbing members and a plurality of attachment devices mounted along said interconnecting webbing members;
- a plurality of polygonal padding blocks of varying density, each of said plurality of padding blocks including a cover encapsulating each of said plurality of padding blocks, each of said covers having a patient interfacing section welded to a non-interfacing section along a seam, the patent interfacing section further comprising a waterproof, non-breathable, stretchable fabric, the non-patient interfacing side further comprising a waterproof, non-breathable tear-resistant fabric.
