Abstract
This invention relates to a pressure related ulcer and perineal dermatitis prevention and treatment device and method of use. The device may be used in conjunction with a urine collection and disposal system that would be beneficial for incontinent users. In use the device forms an automatic pressure controlled topical hyperbaric oxygen chamber and further incorporates a flexible inflated tube system that is controlled by a microprocessor to relief pressure on affected areas of a user's body and provide circulation stimulating therapeutic massage. When used by incontinent persons the device automatically removes expressed urine to minimize additional risk factors known to cause or exacerbate pressure related ulcers and perineal dermatitis.
Claims14
An oxygen healing system comprised of:
- a source of oxygen;
- a microprocessor connected to the source of oxygen wherein the microprocessor is capable of regulating a flow of oxygen from the source of oxygen;
- an inflatable garment formed from a flexible material to a user specified shape and size suitable to be worn by the user wherein the inflatable garment is connected to the microprocessor such that the inflatable garment may receive a flow of oxygen from the microprocessor thereby facilitating the inflation with oxygen of the inflatable garment by means of the microprocessor;
- at least one life signs sensor situated in a proximity close enough to a user's body to determine at least one life sign of the user wherein the life sign sensor is in electronic communication with the microprocessor wherein the microprocessor will permit the flow of oxygen from the oxygen delivery means to the inflatable garment at such pressure and quantity as the microprocessor determines is appropriate based upon user selected parameters and the data the microprocessor receives from the life sign sensor;
- at least one port disposed in the inflatable garment wherein the port permits a quantity of oxygen to escape from the inflated inflatable garment such that a pressure of oxygen greater than the atmospheric pressure is created and maintained thereby between the inflatable garment and the user when the oxygen healing system is in use;
- and
- a urine collection and disposal means wherein the urine collection and disposal means is further comprised of a urine sensor such that when the urine collection and disposal means is worn by a user and the user discharges urine, the urine sensor detects the presence of urine and thereby activates the urine collection and disposal means to collect the urine being discharged and dispose of the urine away from the user thereby minimizing the urine's contact with the user.
An oxygen healing system comprised of:

- at least one life signs sensor situated in a proximity close enough to a user's body to determine at least one life sign of the user wherein the life sign sensor is in electronic communication with the microprocessor wherein the microprocessor will permit the flow of oxygen from the oxygen delivery means to the inflatable garment at such pressure and quantity as the microprocessor determines is appropriate based upon user selected parameters and the electronic information the microprocessor receives from the life sign sensor;
- and
- at least one port disposed in the inflatable garment wherein the port permits a quantity of oxygen to escape from the inflated inflatable garment such that a pressure of oxygen greater than the atmospheric pressure is created and maintained thereby between the inflatable garment and the user when the oxygen healing system is in use.
