ABSTRACT:
A device for conveniently, gently and comfortably manipulating bed patients into various positions of rest, to aid in the prevention and/or treatment of pneumonia and to aid in the prevention and cure of bed sores in long term bed ridden patients, comprises a sheet of porous, "breathable" fabric of a size to span the width of the bed and to underlie the torso of the patient, hand grip means at the ends of the sheet adjacent the sides of the bed facilitating movement of the sheet into partially encircling relation to the patient's torso and rolling of the patient's body between the supine position (flat on the back) and positions on either of the patient's sides, at any desired degree of roll, and means for fastening the hand grip means to the bed for holding the patient's body at the desired degree of roll, thereby to mitigate accumulation of fluids in the patient's lungs and minimize the potential for pneumonia, to expose the patient's back to the air to mitigate the occurrence of bed sores, and to contribute to the patient's overall comfort and well being. Moreover, the device accommodates manipulation of the patient by one person without assistance, thereby to facilitate good care of the patient at home without professional aid, as well as in hospitals and professional nursing facilities.
