Air-Powered Low Interface Pressure Support Surface

View page
US Patent:
6782574, Aug 31, 2004
Filed:
Jul 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/907954
Inventors:
Wanda J. Totton - Greer SC
Richard W. Raburn - Simpsonville SC
Russell J. Weston - Greer SC
Joseph Benedict - Mauldin SC
Assignee:
Span-America Medical Systems, Inc. - Greenville SC
International Classification:
A47C 2710
US Classification:
5713, 5710, 5726, 5737
Abstract:
An air inflatable mattress and mattress coverlet are provided for the prevention and treatment of decubitus ulcers (i. e. , pressure sores or bedsores). The mattress incorporates a user selectable static or alternating air powered support surface for more uniformly redistributing pressure exerted on a patients skin. The mattress coverlet encompasses a low air loss feature independent of the mattresss user selectable air powered support surface. Such low air loss feature provides a patient contact surface exhibiting a high moisture vapor transfer ratio in conjunction with a forced air flow to aid in reducing the moisture and heat near the patients body. Both the mattress and mattress coverlet are driven by an external control system which houses the user controls, as well as the necessary pumps, regulators, and valving.

Patient Support Surfaces

View page
US Patent:
6848138, Feb 1, 2005
Filed:
Dec 29, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/474235
Inventors:
Edmund K. Maier - Simpsonville SC, US
Richard W. Raburn - Simpsonville SC, US
Mark D. Chastain - Greer SC, US
International Classification:
A47C 1700
US Classification:
5730, 5734, 5727
Abstract:
Multiple varieties of patient support surfaces are presented with a common modular assembly primarily including a perimeter chassis and integrated upper support element. Perimeter bolsters provide relatively firmer support for gently prompting a patient towards the center of the bed, without obstructing regular entry and egress. The added stability facilitates safer transfers and better sitting at the edge of the bed. Pressure redistribution air cylinders (turned either longitudinally or laterally) are captured by shaped, slotted inner bolsters and underside arches of an integral foam topper. Each foam topper integrally incorporated may include a sloping heel pressure relief section for redistributing load to relatively more pressure-tolerant lower legs and calves.

Air-Powered Low Interface Pressure Support Surface

US Patent:
7296315, Nov 20, 2007
Filed:
Aug 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/929311
Inventors:
Wanda J. Totton - Greer SC, US
Richard W. Raburn - Simpsonville SC, US
Russell J. Weston - Greer SC, US
Joseph Benedict - Mauldin SC, US
Assignee:
Span-America Medical Systems, Inc. - Greenville SC
International Classification:
A61G 7/057
A47C 27/10
US Classification:
5737, 5500
Abstract:
An air inflatable mattress and mattress coverlet are provided for the prevention and treatment of decubitus ulcers (i. e. , pressure sores or bedsores). The mattress incorporates a user selectable static or alternating air powered support surface for more uniformly redistributing pressure exerted on a patient's skin.

Shear Reducing Mattress Cover

View page
US Patent:
8438682, May 14, 2013
Filed:
Dec 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/961568
Inventors:
James R. O'Reagan - Greer SC, US
Richard W. Raburn - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:
Span-America Medical Systems, Inc. - Greenville SC
International Classification:
A47C 17/00
US Classification:
5737, 5731, 5944, 5482, 5495
Abstract:
A mattress cover is disclosed for redirecting shear on a patient's skin away from the areas of the body relatively more likely to develop decubitus ulcers. The mattress cover includes an upper portion designed to cover the topside of a mattress, and at least one shear transfer zone attached to an underside of the upper portion of the mattress cover. The shear transfer zone(s) may be made of a low shear material so as to create a low friction interface between the mattress and the mattress cover to reduce shear forces exerted by the mattress. Additionally, the shear transfer zone(s) may be arranged such that a large portion of the shear forces exerted by the mattress can be redirected to areas of the body that are relatively less likely to develop decubitus ulcers.

Self-Adjusting Pressure Relief Support System And Methodology

View page
US Patent:
56529856, Aug 5, 1997
Filed:
Jun 3, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/253982
Inventors:
John W. Wilkinson - Bennington VT
Richard W. Raburn - Simpsonville SC
Thomas S. Hargest - Charleston SC
Assignee:
Span-America Medical Systems, Inc. - Greenville SC
International Classification:
A47C 2708
A47C 2710
A61G 7057
US Classification:
5710
Abstract:
A pressure relief support system utilizes a self-adjusting approach to maintaining generally constant pressure in fluid support bladders. A constant force, such as from a constant force linear spring or from a counterweight system, is applied directly to a fluid support bladder or to a reservoir in fluid communication with such bladder. Plural self-adjusting arrangements may be provided in a single device for fabricating a support body with sectionalized support. Such arrangements may be incorporated into mattress support systems or into seating arrangements or other alternative uses. By appropriately selecting system components, such as the amount of the constant force applied, the original volume of fluid to which the force is applied, and the reservoir size, pressure dispersion for a patient or supported object of any type may be controlled at a predetermined generally constant point. By utilizing the potential energy of a constant force linear spring or equivalent arrangement, a self-adjusting system and methodology is provided which does not require any form of electronic control system for receiving sensory feedback or for operating pressure pumps or valving systems responsive to any such feedback.
