Patient Support with an Air Permeable Layer and a Support Layer, with Inflation and Deflation of the Support Layer Controlled in Response to Pressure Sensed at a Pressure Sensing Layer

Patient Support with an Air Permeable Layer and a Support Layer, with Inflation and Deflation of the Support Layer Controlled in Response to Pressure Sensed at a Pressure Sensing Layer

A patient support includes a cover defining an interior region, an air permeable first layer located in the interior region, and a support layer located beneath the air permeable first layer. A pressure sensing layer is located underneath the support layer. At least one air supply is coupled to the...

Zusammenfassung:A patient support includes a cover defining an interior region, an air permeable first layer located in the interior region, and a support layer located beneath the air permeable first layer. A pressure sensing layer is located underneath the support layer. At least one air supply is coupled to the support layer. A controller is coupled to the air supply and to the pressure sensing layer. The controller controls inflation and deflation of the support layer in response to a signal from the pressure sensing layer.
