<p>This invention relates to a device to be used by patients who when confined to bed are required to use bedpans and in particular a device having an inflatable portion that is so located in relation to the patient's body as to exert a lifting force adjacent the base of the patient's spine so as to raise the lower body portion of the patient's torso and thus to allow with or without some cooperation of the patient the insertion of a bedpan under the patient in a proper position for use by the patient. The device is characterized as being constructed to be placed on the body of the patient and be worn so to speak, by the patient throughout the day or night, or both, in a deflated state and be maintained at all times of possible need, in place and in a state of readiness to be inflated with air or gas from a source under pressure such as a tank, individual can or a pump so as to lift the patient's body as required without resorting to manual lifting.</p> |
