Sizing wheel for medical undergarments

摘要

A device (100) for determining an appropriately sized medical undergarment for a wearer includes a housing (101) and a wheel (102). A first body mass index factor alignment indicator (108) can be aligned with a first body mass index factor, such as weight of a wearer, thereby revealing color coded symbols (109) aligned with a plurality of second body mass factor alignment indicators (110). A user selects the appropriate size by determining which color is aligned with a second body mass factor alignment indicator of the wearer. An optional second side (205) of the device (100) can be used to determine an appropriate type of medical undergarment based upon urinary output, wearer mobility, or combinations thereof.

主权项

1. A device for determining an appropriately sized medical undergarment, comprising:
an exterior member having a first side and a second side, each of the first side and the second side defining at least two apertures; an inner member coupled to the exterior member so as to be pivotally movable within the exterior member; a first wearer measurement alignment indicator disposed on the exterior member adjacent to a first aperture; a plurality of second wearer measurement alignment indicators disposed on the exterior member adjacent to a second aperture; a plurality of first wearer measurements disposed about the inner member so as to be at least partially visible through the first aperture; a plurality of color-coded symbols disposed about the inner member so as to be at least partially visible through the second aperture, with each color representing a different size of medical undergarment; wherein when a first wearer measurement is aligned with the first wearer measurement alignment indicator, a corresponding plurality of color-coded sizing symbols become visibly aligned with the plurality of second wearer measurement alignment indicators, thereby indicating the appropriately sized medical undergarment for each of the plurality of second wearer measurement alignment indicators.
