Filed:

Apr 3, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/397079

Inventors:

Mark J. Courtney - Middletown DE, US
William J. Gorak - Newark DE, US
Gregory D. Culler - Nottingham PA, US
Christopher S. Weyl - Newark DE, US

International Classification:

A62B 17/00
A62B 17/04

US Classification:

2457

Abstract:

A chemical protective garment or ensemble is disclosed that comprises a impermeable, protective cooling laminate having a water-holding layer for holding and evaporating liquid, and a chemical barrier. The water-holding layer has a water-holding capacity of at least about 5% wt., and the suit is designed to retain sufficient liquid to provide cooling to a wearer upon evaporation of the liquid from the suit.

US Classification:

5707, 5724, 5726

Abstract:

A patient support includes a cover and a compressible layer that includes air flow passages extending laterally, longitudinally, and transversely through the layer. The cover envelopes the compressible layer and forms a patient support surface thereon and further is adapted to be liquid impermeable, yet allow moisture vapor flow through the cover into the compressible layer and also allow moisture vapor flow out of the cover at a location other than the interface between a patient's body and patient support surface so that together the cover and the compressible layer will transport away moisture from the patient's body at the interface at the patient support surface and direct the moisture vapor to the location other than the interface at the patient support surface.

Assignee:

FXI, Inc. - Media PA

International Classification:

A61G 7/057
A47C 27/08

Abstract:

A compressible or retractable support () is installed inside an air blower cavity () of a body support system (), such as a medical mattress with forced air flow. The support is compressed or retracted within the cavity when the air blower () is inserted in the dynamic configuration of the body support system. The support rebounds to an uncompressed state to fill a greater portion of the air blower cavity when the air blower is removed to convert the body support system to a static configuration.

Inventors:

- Media PA, US

Vincenzo A. BONADDIO - Garnet Valley PA, US

International Classification:

A47C 21/04
A47C 27/15
A47C 27/14

Abstract:

Body support systems such as mattresses include breathing layers that define internal air flow guides and form part of the structure for pressure redistribution. At least one air flow unit is coupled for fluid communication with the breathing layers so that heat and moisture may be drawn away from an uppermost comfort layer or body-supporting layer, through the breathing layers, and exhausted out of the body support system. Alternatively, air may be directed through permeable portions of the layers of the body support system to the uppermost layer, particularly at the torso supporting region.

Inventors:

- Media PA, US
Christopher S. Weyl - Landenberg PA, US

Assignee:

FXI, Inc. - Media PA

International Classification:

A47C 21/04

US Classification:

5423

Abstract:

Body support systems include central cores having one or more internal air flow guides that form part of each system for pressure redistribution, and withdrawal of heat and moisture away from an uppermost comfort layer or body-supporting layer(s). During operation of the system, heat and/or moisture is directed from the uppermost comfort layer or body-supporting layer(s) into the central core portion of the body support system and out of the body support system. The internal air flow guide(s) are formed of cellular polymer material and are coupled to the uppermost comfort layer to form an air flow path.
