A person handling apparatus includes a deck with a seat section, a leg section, and a back section. The back section is pivotally mounted to the seat section. The leg section has a proximal end pivotally mounted to the seat section and a cantilevered end spaced a first distance from its proximal end. The seat section, the leg section, and the back section are arranged to lie in a common plane when the deck is in a supine configuration to support a person in a supine position. First and second leg assemblies are pivotally mounted to the deck to move between (1) first deployed positions wherein the first and second leg assemblies are angled relative to the deck when the deck is in the supine configuration to support the deck in a raised composition and (2) second deployed positions when the deck is supported in the chair configuration.

A portable resuscitation system is provided. The system includes a housing for enclosing a ventilation device and a vital signs tracking device. The housing is anatomically designed for use as a neck support for opening an airway of a subject in a supine position and optionally includes mechanism for modifying the height or angle of the neck support.

The invention provides a positioning measuring device used for hip replacement surgery and a measuring method. Through the using of a high-precision sensor and a high-performance microprocessor to measure, the problems of manual error and body position error of rulers can be solved; and the measuring device can be installed and fixed on the anterior superior iliac spines of the hip pelvis of a patient with corresponding supporting tools to carry out measuring with the moving of the pelvis, and the patient is the measured target, so that the influences of patient standing positions on data canbe reduced. Through the measuring device and measuring method, surgery can be high in flexibility, for the specific conditions of the patient, surgical programs can be planned in advanced, so that suitable supine and lateral positions can be selected; and the data can be measured in real time during operation, through two-way data comparison and verification, better clinical curative effects can be achieved, and the probability of reoperation can be reduced. Based on a three-dimensional motion data model, the position plane of a human coronal plane can be accurately obtained according to three-dimensional motion data, so that the processing of angles can be more accurate.

Safety eyewear that is particularly suitable for patients undergoing medical or dental procedures in reclining or supine positions is disclosed. The safety eyewear has a frame configured to rest over a face. The frame includes a pair of lenses separated from one another by a bridge. The lenses may be configured to block certain harmful wavelengths of light used in dental curing lights, patient overhead lights, and lasers. One of both of the frame and the pair of lenses may curve in a posterior direction along inferior edges so as to terminate closely proximate to the face. Left and right temple arms extend generally straight in the posterior direction from respective left and right sides of the frame. A nasion pad is coupled to the bridge of the frame and extends in the posterior direction from the bridge to make contact with the patient's nasion.

The herein described Adaptive Ergonomic Positioning device (“AEPD”) relates generally to the field of surgery and other medical or healthcare procedures. The AEPD can be adapted for use with most standard surgical tables and surgical chairs where the patient must be positioned prone during a particular procedure. The AEPD may also be used for certain procedures where the patient may be positioned supine. The AEPD support assemblies are highly adjustable and deliver improved ergonomics for both patients and providers. Patients of different morphology can be comfortably positioned in prone with their head and neck in a neutral position, and shoulders in a forward flexed, slightly internally rotated position. The AEPD can be adjusted to accommodate patients with neck and shoulder mobility restrictions, without any effect on provider accessibility to the surgical or treatment site.

The support pillow assembly includes a portable support pillow designed to provide optimal head and adjacent neck support for the user in upright and/or reclined seated and supine positions. The pillow is optionally configured with a hole to securely support the occiput. The pillow may be configured in a taller or shorter profile. The pillow is tapered in a manner that maintains the user's neck and head in proper alignment. The support pillow assembly is constructed of single piece foam which is firm enough and contoured to prevent head turning and neck torsion. The support pillow is optionally configured with exterior support panels to provide additional utility, compressibility, stability, and comfort. The support pillow assembly optionally includes an adjustable strap that may be used to provide supplemental support to the head. It may be collapsed into a portable pillow comprising protective exterior supports, a cloth or similarly soft bag, or a protective case.

The invention relates to a liver acellular stent construction method based on an irreversible electroporation technology. The method comprises the following steps of 1.1) weighing a rat, carrying outgas inhalation anesthesia by using isoflurane, maintaining the gas inhalation anesthesia, after the anesthesia is effective, disinfecting abdominal skin of the SD rat in a supine position by using 75%alcohol, and opening the abdomen layer by layer to expose the liver; 1.2) clamping a left lateral lobe area of the rat liver by using a caliper type electrode, and performing high-voltage pulsed electric field treatment; 1.3) after the irreversible electroporation treatment is finished, performing transhepatic portal vein catheterization, perfusing with heparinized PBS (Phosphate Buffer Solution), cutting off the subhepatic inferior vena cava until the liver is full and the color is gradually lightened, gradually dissociating tissues and ligaments around the liver, taking down the liver, andimmersing the liver into the heparinized PBS; 1.4) putting the taken liver into a clean container, and performing one-way perfusion with deionized water, and 1.5) after the deionized water perfusion is finished, performing one-way perfusion with PBS for 30 minutes to complete the preparation of the stent. By the method disclosed by the invention, the construction efficiency of the in-vitro acellular stent can be effectively improved under the condition of not applying harmful chemical preparations.
