CA 2390038

A head support apparatus (10) when positioning a person in a prone position comprises a base (199) slidable under a support surface. The base (11) has a central supporting post (12) supporting a frame (16) carrying a head support tray (18). A pressure reducing ring (23) is mounted on the head support tray (18) by straps (24). Contact points along the surface of the pressure reducing ring (23) are protected by a fitted pads (25) designed to improve comfort levels for the user. The pressure reducing ring (23) is clear and comprises a multi-channel air bladder to allow alternating inflating and deflation of the individual chambers to provide pressure relief. The visual and physical access to the users head and facial area is maintained at all times. The structure is self stabilising and can be used with most bed frames, or independently.

Cette invention se rapporte à un appui-tête (10) qui, lorsqu'on y place une personne en position de décubitus ventral, comprend une base (11) qui coulisse sous une surface de support. La base (11) possède un montant de support central (12) servant de support à un châssis (16) portant un plateau appui-tête (18). Un anneau de réduction de pression (23) est fixé sur l'anneau appui-tête (18) par des courroies (24). Les points de contact le long de la surface de l'anneau de réduction de pression (23) sont protégés par des coussinets adaptés (25) conçus pour améliorer le confort du patient. L'anneau de réduction de pression (23) est transparent et comprend une chambre à air multicanal pour permettre le gonflage et le dégonflage alterné des compartiments individuels de la chambre à air, afin d'assurer un relâchement de pression. L'accès visuel et physique à la tête et à la zone faciale du patient est maintenu à tout moment. Cette structure est autostabilisante et peut être utilisée avec la plupart des bâtis de lits, ou indépendamment.
