ABSTRACT:
A sponge bath and rinse platform on which the user (patient) lies for cleansing. The device is formed with a peripheral wall (defined by side walls, a head end wall, and a foot end wall) and a central area having a number of specially contoured areas for raising selected portions of the body above a gently sloping grade plane. The lowest region of the central area is located near the foot end wall, and defines a liquid collection area. The contoured areas define supports for the head, upper trunk, lower trunk, arms, and legs. Thus, the device includes a head support, an upper trunk support, a lower trunk support, first and second arm supports, and first and second leg supports. These are formed so that when the user's head is on the head support, the arms held outwardly from the body on the arm supports, shoulder blade area on the upper trunk support, the lower back on the lower trunk support, and the legs in a spread apart position on the leg supports, the user's armpit and groin areas are elevated above the grade plane and freely accessible for cleansing.
