Abstract: A mattress cover for use with air inflated mattresses that includes an integral hand check tunnel formed as part of the cover. The cover includes a top, a bottom, and sides extending between the top and bottom. Openings are formed along the longitudinal sides of the cover and permit access to an enclosed tunnel that extends between the sides of the mattress cover. Flaps are attached to the sides of the mattress cover over the openings along with devices for selectively opening and closing the openings. A caregiver can verify proper inflation of an air mattress placed within the cover by opening the flaps and extending a hand into the tunnel. The cover can be used with a single air inflated air mattress with the tunnel overlying the mattress, in a dual configuration where one air mattress is placed over the other with the tunnel being placed between the mattresses, or with an air mattress placed upon a foam base with the tunnel being placed between the mattress and foam base.

Abstract: A substantially pillow-shaped, inflatable second cushion that is separable and removably interconnected together with the first cushion maintains proper foot flexion when the body is in the supine position, and is removable to allow ambulation while the foot and lower leg remain cradled in the first cushion. A substantially pillow-shaped, inflatable third cushion is pivotally attached to the bottommost compartments of the first cushion and is pivotally positionable either directly under the Achilles' heel area, or directly under the heel area, or tucked forward of the heel area to provide light compression of the ankle, foot and heel areas. An integral shoe spoon attached to the first cushion prevents the foot cushion from catching bed clothing. A rigid base is provided for rigidly fixing the first inflatable cushion in position to prevent contraction of the feet of comatose patients, for example. A novel connector with two-finger pinch-to-open releasing action provides easily adjustable straps to secure the first cushion non-circumferentially about a foot and lower leg.

Abstract: In combination with an inflatable body support formed from a pair of plastic sheets joined together forming an air pressurizable chamber therebetween, the sheets having a plurality of aligned holes extending therethrough with the sheets being joined together around the circumference of each hole allowing body heat and moisture to flow through each hole but preventing air flow from the chamber into each hole, thereby providing an air cushion for supporting a person positioned thereatop that dissipates pressure, heat and moisture to prevent the onset of pressure sores and ulcers, the improvement which comprises: occluding the holes over which the torso, head and limbs of a person positioned atop the inflatable body support would not lie, thereby reducing the distension of the inflatable body support surrounding the occluded holes thereby volume centering the air within the air pressurizable chamber under a person positioned atop the inflatable body support; providing a pair of micro and macro adjustable, separable, and generally U-shaped anchoring straps, each strap having two generally boomerang-shaped halves disposed in mirror image relationship; and a novel connector that may be opened by two fingers that removably attaches the anchoring straps to the inflatable body support.
