Eine Antidekubitus-Matratze dient dazu, einen Patienten, insbesondere einen ältern Patienten, so zu lagern, dass keine Dekubital-Geschwüre entstehen oder dass bereits vorhandene Dekubital-Geschwüre verheilen können. Bekannte Matratzen dieser Art zeichnen sich durch eine grosse Weichheit aus. Es gibt auch bereits sogenannte Wechseldruck-Matratzen, also ca. 20 cm hohe Matratzen, die aus zwei im Querschnitt keilförmigen übereinander angeordneten Teilen, die einzeln aufblasbar und entleerbar sind, zusammengesetzt sind. Auf eine solche Matratze wird dann eine ca. 12 - 15 cm dicke, sehr weiche Matratze gelegt. Diese Wechseldruck-Matratzen haben sich nicht nur deshalb nicht bewährt, weil sie zusammen mit der zusätzlich benötigten Matratze zu hoch sind, sondern auch darum, weil sie sich nicht richtig denjenigen Bettgestellen anpassen, welche zwei sich quer zur Bettlängsrichtung erstreckende Scharniere zur Bildung eines Kopfkeils und eines Fusskeiles aufweisen, und weil beim Entleeren des einen Matratzenteils die Gefahr besteht, dass der Patient aus dem Bett rollt oder an das allenfalls vorhandene Sicherungsgitter.An anti-decubitus mattress is used to position a patient, especially an older patient, in such a way that no decubitus ulcers develop or that existing decubitus ulcers can heal. Known mattresses of this type are characterized by great softness. There are also so-called alternating pressure mattresses, i.e. approx. 20 cm high mattresses, which are composed of two parts which are wedge-shaped in cross-section and which are individually inflatable and can be deflated. An approximately 12 - 15 cm thick, very soft mattress is then placed on such a mattress. These alternating pressure mattresses have not only proven themselves because they are too high together with the additionally required mattress, but also because they do not adapt properly to those bed frames that have two hinges that extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bed to form a head wedge and have a foot wedge, and because when emptying one of the mattress parts there is a risk that the patient will roll out of bed or onto the safety gate that may be present.
Die erfindungsgemässe Antidekubitus-Matratze weist nun all für die Vorbeugung und die Behandlung nötigen Vorteile, die ein ständiges Umbetten des Patienten überflüssig machen, auf, ohne dass sie die eingangs geschilderten Nachteile besitzt. Sie ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie aus einer elastischen aber festen Schaumstoff-Grundschicht, einer im Verhältnis zur Grundschicht weichen Deckschicht, einer dazwischen angeordneten elastischen Rahmenschicht und einem zwischen all diesen Bestandteilen befindlichen Kern besteht, der zwei Gruppen von auf der Grundschicht eben aufliegenden Luftkissen aufweist, die spiegelbildlich zueinander in bezug auf die in der Matratzenlängsrichtung aber senkrecht zur Matratzen-Ebene verlaufende Mittelebene angeordnet sind, wobei jede Gruppe aus drei Kissen besteht, die im luftgefüllten Zustand gegeneinander um mindestens 90° verschwenkbar sind, sich gegen die Mittelebene hin verjüngen und derart mit einer Pumpstation verbunden sind, dass sich die Kissen der einen Gruppe unabhängig von den Kissen der andern Gruppe aufblasen und entleeren lassen. Eine derartige Matratze lässt sich so ausgestalten, dass sie im vollständig mit Luft gefüllten Zustand nur eine Höhe von maximal 26 cm aufweist. Die Pumpstation ist zweckmässigerweise mit einem Steuergerät versehen, mit welchem sich je nach dem sich stellenden Bedürfnis ein ziemlich breit wählbarer Pumpzyklus programmieren lässt.The anti-decubitus mattress according to the invention now has all the advantages required for prevention and treatment, which make constant repositioning of the patient superfluous, without having the disadvantages described at the outset. It is characterized by the fact that it consists of an elastic but firm foam base layer, a cover layer that is soft in relation to the base layer, an elastic frame layer arranged in between and a core between all these components, which has two groups of air cushions lying flat on the base layer that are mirror images of each other with respect to the in the longitudinal direction of the mattress is arranged perpendicular to the central plane of the mattress, whereby each group consists of three pillows, which can be swiveled by at least 90 ° in the air-filled state, taper towards the central plane and are connected to a pumping station in such a way that the Inflate and deflate pillows from one group independently of pillows from the other group. Such a mattress can be designed such that it only has a maximum height of 26 cm when fully filled with air. The pumping station is expediently provided with a control unit, with which a pump cycle which can be selected quite broadly can be programmed, depending on the needs arising.
Nachfolgend wird anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung beschrieben. In der Zeichnung zeigt
Auch diese Matratze wird zweckmässigerweise, wie das bei gewöhnlichen Matratzen der Fall ist, durch eine Stoffhülle 21 geschützt, die selbstverständlich Öffnungen für die beiden zur Pumpstation 18 führenden Schläuche 14 und 15 aufweist. Bei dieser Pumpstation kann es sich um eine zur Erzeugung eines Luftdrucks dienende Pumpe mit den zum Aufblasen und Entleeren der beiden Luftkissen-Gruppen 4, 6, 8 bzw. 5, 7, 9 dienenden Ventilen handeln. Für die Verwendung in einem neuzeitlich ausgestatteten Spital oder Altersheim wird die Pumpstation jedoch keine Pumpe aufweisen, sondern nur einen Anschlussstutzen, um die Pumpstation mit dem Druckluftnetz des Patientenzimmers zu verbinden, und den Steuerventilen, die die Leitungen 14 und 15 je nach Bedarf mit den Anschlussstutzen oder der Entlastungsöffnung verbinden oder diese abschliessen.This mattress is also expediently protected, as is the case with ordinary mattresses, by a
Das Steuergerät dient zur Wahl des gewünschten bzw. benötigten Pump- bzw. Schaltzyklus und auch dazu, zwischen den einzelnen Schritten des Zyklus Pausen wählbarer Länge von bis zu 30 Minuten einzuschalten, sowie auch dazu, die Aufblas- und Entleerungsgeschwindigkeiten frei zu wählen, wobei sich für letztere Zeiten von 1 - 3 Minuten vorzugsweise 2 - 3 Minuten als zweckmässig erwiesen haben. Zweckmässigerweise sind bei den Steuergeräten folgende Zyklen vorgesehen:The control unit is used to select the desired or required pumping or switching cycle and also to switch on pauses of a selectable length of up to 30 minutes between the individual steps of the cycle, and also to freely select the inflation and deflation speeds, whereby have proven to be expedient for the latter times of 1-3 minutes, preferably 2-3 minutes. The following cycles are expediently provided for the control units:
