Definitions

  • This invention relates to a patient turning device, particularly but not exclusively for use in turning a bed-ridden patient.
  • Bed-ridden patients often require turning over for changing of clothing or bedding, washing, or examination. People caring for such bed-ridden patients often encounter difficulties in turning a bed-ridden patient, especially when that patient is heavy, or has a degree of spasticity.
  • a patient turning device characterised in that it comprises two mutually inclined members connected at respective ends thereof by a rounded section, whereby when one of said members is inserted under a patient and the device rotated about said rounded section by pulling on said other member, the patient is turned.
  • said members are arranged at an angle of between 70° and 90° to each other.
  • said members and said rounded section are integrally formed from a fibre reinforced plastics material.
  • one of said members is longer than the other member, providing leverage for turning a patient and in that said members are wide enought to provide simultaneous support for a patient's shoulders and buttocks.
  • said members are curved along their longitudinal axes.
  • a patient turning device comprises a shaped arrangement 2 of rigid plastics material including a first member 4 and a second member 6 connected together at respective first ends 8, 10 by a rounded section 12 such that they are mutually inclined at an angle slightly less than 90°.
  • the first member 4 has a second curved end 14 and is of substantially constant width throughout its length whilst the second member 6 tapers slightly towards its second end 16.
  • the members are each slightly curved along their longitudinal axes the first member 4 is 400mm long, the second member 6 is 600mm long, and the rounded section and first member are 600mm wide.
  • the arrangement is formed by a wet lay-up process from glass fibre reinforced synthetic resinous material and to provide increased strength two stiffening ribs 18 are formed into the arrangement the ribs being concave.
  • the region 20 of the arrangement between the ribs are concave as can best be seen in Fig. 2, the most rearmost point of the concave region 20 lying on an imaginary line joining the rearmost points on the ribs 18, especially in the region of the rounded section 12.
  • the first member 4 is slid underneath a bed-ridden patient to lie underneath the patient's shoulders and buttocks until the second member abuts the patient.
  • the person turning the patient applies a rotational force to the second end 16 of the second member away from the patient, and the device and patient thereon rotate about the rounded section 12 until the second member 6 comes to rest on the bed with the patient thereon in a turned position.
  • the device can then be slid from underneath the patient in the same side to that from which it was inserted below the patient.
  • the fact that the second member 6 is longer than the first member 4 means that due to the leverage provided a patient can be turned over with a small force than would otherwise be necessary, and allows the patient to be turned as slowly and gently as may be required.
  • the device may be made to different dimensions, perhaps smaller for children, or with a larger second member for turning very heavy people over.
  • the device may be made of material other than glass reinforced plastics material, for example, it may be pressed from sheet steel, aluminium or any suitable metal or fibre reinforced material.
  • the reinforcing ribs may be omitted and it may be collapsible about the rounded section for ease of storage.
  • To facilitate grasping the device after it has been inserted under a patient to be turned hand slots may be provided at the end of the first member remote from the rounded section 12, in place of the webbing loop 24.
  • the other webbing loop 22 may also be replaced by a hand hole.
  • two spaced webbing loops 22 may be provided at the end of member 4.
