DEVICE FOR THE FLEXIBLE AND ELASTIC CONNECTION OF INDEPENDENT, FRICTION-FREE PATCHES IN MULTI-LAYER MATTRESSES FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE HIBCHS IN THE HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Device characterized in that on a medical mattress consisting of several layers of various materials whose individual properties make it possible to ensure the different needs of care, the different layers are mechanically linked together but allow to maintain despite all the greater relative freedom of layers between them. The present invention describes the associated means of reducing friction between layers and elastic mechanical connection between these same layers constituting the mattress. The present invention consists of joining the layers of the mattress with a flexible and elastic link allowing a sliding of several centimeters of the different layers together during a movement of one or more segments of the bed base. medical. The elasticity of the link and the number of links are adjusted according to the number of layers of the mattress and the weight of the patient.
