A resting system comprising a support (5) for supporting a resting means (4) on which a body can rest in relative comfort, wherein a support means (5) is provided comprising a support frame (5) having a plurality of channel forming means (7) and further wherein said resting means (4) includes a number of components and the junction between at least two of said components provides a further channel (9), aligned with said channel forming means (7), so that a securing/restraining means is able to move in said aligned channels (9); and at least one securing/restraining means including a portion which is adapted to move along said aligned channels (9) and a portion (3) which can be placed against a body to be secured/restrained so as to prevent excessive movement of said body; a kit for the adaptation of existing support means so as to provide the resting system; the use of the resting system in patient care in orthopaedics, neurology, neurosurgery, radiography, radiodtherapy, general surgery, rheumatology, physiotherapy, veterinary medicine/surgery, post-operative recovery, by the rescue and emergency service, the armed forces, sports medicine, or during care of the elderly both at home and in nursing homes; and particularly the use for the avoidance of pressure development or the development of pressure sores.
A resting system comprising a resting means on which a body can rest in relative comfort, a support for said resting means, and at least one restraining means including an upper resting portion against which can be placed a body to be restrained so as to prevent excessive movement of said body and a lower attachment portion including a stem and a base at the lowermost part of said stem, said support comprises a support frame having a plurality of channel forming means defining a plurality of first channels in which a base of said restraining means may be received, and said resting means including a number of components and the junction between at least two of said components provides a second channel through which a stem of said restraining means may be received aligned with a said first channel so that said restraining means is able to move in said aligned channels.
A resting system comprising a support means, a resting means on which a body can rest in relative comfort adapted to be in contact with at least part of said support means, a restraining means including an upper resting portion which is adapted to be placed against a body to be restrained when said restraining means is suitably positioned with respect to said resting means and so acts to prevent excessive movement of a body placed on said resting means, and a lower attachment portion including a stem and a base at the lowermost part of the stem, the support means including a support frame having a plurality of channel defining means, said channel defining means adapted to provide a selected path along which a base of said restraining means is able to move and the resting means including a plurality of component parts wherein the junction at least two of said parts provides at least one channel which is at least partially aligned with said selected path and adapted so as to accomodate the stem of at least one of said restraining means thereby allowing movement of said restraining means.
