<p>An Anti-Decubitus Medical Bed apparatus (100) supports a recumbent individual alternately on one of two translating arrays (102, 104) of support tubes (110, 112). The two arrays of tubes are connected to one of two separated frames (106, 108) which translate relative to one another as first one, then the other array supports the individual. The support tubes of each array are interposed between the tubes of the other array. The ends (114) of the tubes may be provided with apertures (160) and channels (132) to conduct cleansing or medicating fluids to the adjacent surface of the individual. At least some of the tubes (110, 112) of one array (102, 104) are provided with fluid channels (132) for spraying medicating or cleansing fluids, e.g. water, or dispensing a soothing vapor onto the individual when the respective tube array (110, 112) is not in contact with the individual's body. A fluid impermeable cabinet and cover (166) enclose the apparatus so that cleansing or medicating fluids do not escape into the surroundings. A drainage system (168) is provided to remove the waste fluids. Air conditioning equipment may be included with the apparatus (100) to warm or cool the individual within the cabinet. An optional fluid heating or cooling device may be included with the apparatus (100) to heat or cool the fluids from channels (132). A pump may be connected from a fluid reservoir to supply cleansing or medicating fluids to the channeled tubes (110, 112).</p> |
