Estimating the term…
A bed (10) includes a base (12) and a frame assembly (14). A head end support assembly (16) and a foot end support assembly (18) are coupled between the base (12) and the frame assembly (14). The frame assembly (14) includes first and second side frame members (80, 82) located above the base (12). The bed (10) also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms (160) coupled to the first and second side frame members (80, 82), and a patient support surface (162) configured to be coupled to the first and second side frame members (80, 82) by the plurality of latch mechanisms (160). A rotational drive mechanism (130) is coupled to the foot end support assembly (18) to rotate the frame assembly (14) about its longitudinal axis to a prone position. A proning surface (250) is coupled to the frame assembly (14) to support a patient in the prone position.
A bed comprising:
A bed comprising a base and first and second side frame members coupled to the base, the first and second side frame members each including a fixed frame member and a movable back section, each of the back sections having an end portion pivotably coupled to a support member which is movable on the fixed frame member toward a head end of the bed, each back section also being pivotably coupled to a fixed pivot connection on the fixed frame member so that the back section moves toward the head end of the bed and to an elevated position relative to the fixed frame member as the support member moves toward the head end of the bed.
A patient support surface comprising an outer frame and an inner support portion coupled to the outer frame, the outer flame including a pivotable back section coupled to an adjacent seat section by first and second pivot joints located on opposite sides of the patient support surface, the pivot joints being coupled to move with the back section from a retracted position such that respective pivot joints are located within the outer frame member to block pivotable movement of the first and second pivot joints and hold the outer frame in a generally planar orientation to an extended position in which the first and second pivot joints are exposed to permit pivotable movement of the back section relative to the seat section.
A bed comprising:
A bed comprising:
A bed comprising:
A bed comprising:
A bed comprising:
A bed comprising:
A side support configured to be used adjacent a patient support surface, the side support apparatus comprising a patient engaging surface and a coupling mechanism configured to position the patient engaging surface transverse to the patient support surface and adjacent a side of a patient on the patient support surface, the patient engaging surface including an inflatable bladder, and an air supply coupled to the inflatable bladder and configured to deliver air to the inflatable bladder in pulses to provide percussion/vibration therapy to the side of the patient.
