<p>A dressing-air-and-transfer device (110) for assisting attendants and patients in moving and dressing. The device includes a space frame (112) with support legs (115-118) of the space frame defining a device perimeter. A torso support is provided to support the weight of the patient being moved. The space frame (112) is designed so as to provide a stable and lightweight transferral device that is transportable and easy for a single person to operate. The support legs (115-118) and reinforcing cross-pieces (127-130) are configured to provide structurally stability without interfering with an attendant's ability to easily remove and place clothing on a patient's lower body. The support legs (115-118) pivot at the base of the space frame (112) in order to reduce the force required to transfer a patient to and from a sitting position. Optional features include a rotatable base (251) and the use of actuators (143, 144) to reduce the effort required to tilt the space frame (12).</p> |
