Fluidized positioning and protection system

Abstract

The present invention provides a fluidized positioning system including an inner bladder formed of a medium that has no memory or substantially no memory. An outer bladder is placed adjacent to or coupled to the inner bladder. The outer bladder is partially filled with a composition. The composition can be beads, such as polystyrene beads, or beads made of a similar medium. A valve extending from the outer bladder permits the evacuation of all or some of the air from the outer bladder which causes the outer bladder to be reduced in size due to loss of air between the beads and adjusts the rigidity of the outer bladder to allow the outer bladder to form fit the inner bladder around whatever body extremity it is being used on.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes an improved medical positioning system that helps with various bodily functions such as blood flow, brain function, bones, stomach, breathing, and lungs. It's designed to be both strong enough to hold up patients and gentle enough to avoid harming delicate organs like veins and nerves.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is how to provide effective positioning and cushoning for patients in hospitals without using traditional foam and gel materials which can only react to force in one direction (either twisting or sliding). There is also an increasing demand for products that can accommodate both types of movement at once.
