<p>A modular support system 300 for a patient 302 comprises a sheet 250 for attachment to a mattress and including a first part 252 of a releasable fastening mechanism (for example the loop of a hook-and-loop system) and a plurality of support members 100, 130, 160, 190, 200 each including a second part 138 of the releasable fastening mechanism (for example the hook of a hook and loop system); by which each of the support members can be releasably fastened to the sheet at different positions. A first and a second of the plurality of support members have different shapes which are adapted to support different body parts. Each of the support members may be made from a resiliently deformable material such as foam and have a washable/wipe-able cover. The system can also include a mat (400, Fig 12A) to which the sheet can be attached rather than being attached to a mattress on a bed.</p> |
