ABSTRACT:
An automatic disposable under pad apparatus for a hospital bed is provided which consists of a frame and a mattress having a central inflatable transverse section. The mattress is supported on the frame along with a structure for supporting a hip portion of a patient that is reclining on the mattress over the central inflatable transverse section. A dispensing mechanism allows a roll of clean under pads to have a portion extendable over the central inflatable transverse section of the mattress and under the patient. A device is also provided for inflating and deflating the central inflatable transverse section of the mattress. When the patient soils the extended portion of the roll of clean under pads the central inflatable transverse section may be deflated while the supporting means will simultaneously keep the hip portion of the patient elevated, allowing another portion of the roll of clean under pads to be pulled under the hip portion of the patient, before the inflatable transverse section is inflated again.
