EQUIPMENT INTENDED TO PREVENT FALLING INJURIES IN CRITICAL PATIENTS, DURING RECOVERY

The invention relates to an equipment intended to prevent falling injuries in critical patients, during the recovery period, meant to be used in hospitals, ambulatory or at home. According to the invention, the equipment comprises an overall suit (1) compartmented and segmented and an inert gas cylinder, where the suit proper (1) is made of two high-quality durable resilient heat-resistant materials, namely 6000D and neoprene (2, 3), processed as a sandwich-type fabric (2), structured with some cells, representing the inflatable part of the suit compartments, where, in the zones most exposed to injuries, the segments of the suit (1) additionally exhibit protective elements made of neoprene filled with silicone gel, so that the assembly or suit (1) results in an airbag-type equipment specially adapted for damping shocks in case of patients' fall, the COcylinder being portable, with a gas capacity of 4 l, and rechargeable, the material 6000D used for the outer face of the suit (1) being resistant to wear, chemical agents, UV rays, while the neoprene is light and heat-insulating, resistant to weather or various chemical agents, having, in the area of the joints, protective elements filled with silicone gel of 15 mm, meant for shock absorption in case of fall, the sandwich-type fabric of the suit having inside neoprene of 3 mm and outside, the material 6000D, and being carried out by plastic sealing (4), the fabric interior being structured in some cells (5) which communicate to one another by some channels which are made by inserting some rectangular tubes of 5 mm/15 mm with rounded corners, included among the sandwiched materials (6), the gas passing from one cell (5) to another, allowing them to uniformly dilate by 15 mm, at the most, some valves (7) of small dimensions, provided with adaptors for quick coupling to the COcylinder, being located on the outer part of the suit (1). Invenţia se referă la un echipament pentru prevenirea accidentelor prin cădere la bolnavii critici, în perioada de recuperare, ce urmează a fi utilizat în spitale, ambulatoriu sau la domiciliul bolnavilor. Echipamentul conform invenţiei este constituit dintr-un costum (1) întreg, compartimentat şi segmentat, şi o butelie de gaz inert, costumul (1) propriu-zis fiind alcătuit din două materiale de calitate, rezistente, elastice şi termorezistente, materialul 6000D şi neoprenul (2, 3), care sunt prelucrate într-o ţesătură (2) tip sandviş, structurată în nişte alveole, ce constituie par
