ABSTRACT:
An inflatable body support to facilitate bedpan use or treatment of pelvic or anal areas of a person confined to a hospital bed or a wheelchair, comprising a generally U-shaped inflatable hip-support cushion defining a space within the "U" thereof for receiving a bedpan or sanitary absorbent material when the hip-supporting cushion is inflated, and a separately inflatable, flexibly attached back support cushion. A flexible folding connection between the hip-support cushion and the back support cushion allows the body support of the invention to be used by persons in wheelchairs or in beds having tiltable or raised portions. A waterproof flexible sheet is attached to and extends under the hip-support cushion and prevents spilled matter from soiling bedding. Detachable flexible tubes interconnect the inflatable cushions, and an uninterrupted seam in the flexible connection between the cushions provides durability and complete separability of inflation between the cushions when desired.
