Definitions

  • Air mattresses are known to be used in the fight against pressure ulcers, especially those connected to alternating pressure devices.
  • the known alternating pressure air mattresses have the disadvantage that the inflated air chambers have to be pumped hard in order to prevent the patient's body from pushing down on the bed mattress. This creates contact pressure on the patient's body of up to about 275 mm Hg, which prevents any capillary blood flow at the pressure points.
  • Air mattresses that consist of a single or only a few air chambers must also be pumped hard, because otherwise the patient, with his bony, heavy parts of the body and especially when raising the head end, would press down on the bed mattress with the resulting excessive pressure values.
  • the invention provides an air flotation patient pad that allows the patient's body to float on softly inflated air chambers, similar to water.
  • the narrowly inflated, narrow air cylinders (1) allow the body to be deeply embedded in the air chambers. This significantly increases the contact area and reduces the contact pressure accordingly.
  • the small diameter of the individual air tubes and the resulting high number of tubes also prevent the patient's body from pushing through even when sitting in bed or on a chair.
  • the invention thus provides a patient pad that continuously exerts a significantly low pressure on a patient's body than known alternating pressure air mattresses, and this without the use of expensive alternating air devices.
  • the invention is based in part on the observation that in patient pads which use solid materials as padding, such as foams, skins, etc., the areas under particularly bony, heavy parts of the body are compressed, as a result of which the pressure on these areas is particularly accentuated. This increases the risk of bedsores. When using water and air as upholstery, however, there is no such local pressure accentuation because these two materials are not compressed but displaced.
  • the air flotation pad can be made from a single piece of soft plastic material.
  • the cylindrical tubes (1) running transversely to the bed are closed at both ends by a weld seam (2) and the length is formed by a single weld seam (3).
  • the one-piece plastic film thus forms cylinder walls (4) and cylinder connection (5), as well as fastening envelopes (6).
  • Each individual cylindrical air hose has a welded-in air valve (7).
  • the air flotation patient pad can also be assembled from individual, individual air tubes and an additional cover. This form of pad makes it easier to repair or replace a damaged air hose.
