CA 1062817

Abstract of the Disclosure Disclosed is a mattress comprising a plurality of small pillow-like elements each of which consists of an envelope-formed by a flexible membrane largely filled with a suitable fluid or grain-like material, and means for securing said elements side-by-side transversely of a bed. The mattress when appropriately assembled is capable in use of greatly reducing the incidence of decubitus ulcers (bed sores) in patients and others who must spend a long period in bed. The preferred embodiment disclosed consists of a sheet capable of being attached over a conventional mattress, and pillow-like elements measuring (unfilled) 30cm by 90cm, and filled to about 70% total capacity with spherical partly- expanded polystyrene beads of about 1.5mm diameter. About twelve of these elements are secured to the sheet by touch- and-close material for use in a standard length bed. - 1 -
