ABSTRACT:
An arrangement which allows patients confined to their beds, to use a toilet without leaving their beds or to be placed in a wheel chair. A sectionalized mattress is positioned in sequential steps so as to place the patient directly over a toilet or in a wheel chair without discomfort to the patient. The mattress, together with the patient, is positioned in a manner which allows the patient to use the toilet while sitting in an upright customary manner or in an inclined manner. The section of the mattress over the toilet is removed while the patient's weight is not directed thereon. Hygienic cleansing procedures are provided in conjunction with the toilet, and the patient is returned to a reclined position after repositioning the mattress and replacement of the section of the mattress that was removed to enable the patient to use the toilet. Replacement of that section of the mattress is carried out also while the patient's weight is not directed thereon. The mattress is positioned through a similar sequence of steps to place the patient directly into a wheel chair.
