ABSTRACT:
A patient transport and care apparatus includes a skeletal frame structure having a superstructure defining a patient support area which is configured to fit over a conventional patient support platform. One end of the skeletal frame structure is open so that the device may be rolled into and out of surrounding relation with the patient support structure. The device also includes a patient lifting system, a weighing system and an electrical distribution system. Various patient care accessories, equipment and medication may be carried conveniently on the apparatus.
