ABSTRACT:
A limb support assembly for typical use in supporting the legs of a person to keep the heels of a person suffering from a decubitus condition or burned areas on a limb above and out of contact with a bed. The assembly basically includes an inflatable tubular bladder, a soft absorbent sock over the bladder, attachment devices such as cords attached to the bladder ends and attachable to a bed frame, and a pump for varying bladder inflation pressure. The assembly is placed on a bed or other support at a suitable location for elevating a limb. The attachment is then installed by fastening the cords to the bed frame or other fixed part of the support. A board may be secured to the bladder assembly to further restrict movement of the assembly on the bed or other support surface.
