Abstract
A patient comfort apparatus is provided to be used with a low air loss patient support system. An elongated cylindrical member defines a resiliently deformable member surrounded by a cover defining a flexible web that is impervious to liquid. The cover defines a slit which provides access to the interior of the cover and permits insertion and withdrawal of the elongated cylindrical member. A closure mechanism such as a zipper is provided for the slit in the cover. An encasement member is provided between the cover and the cylindrical member and includes an antibacterial agent. The cover further defines an attachment flange that is connected to the cover via a flexible hinge. The attachment flange defines a plurality of holes along its length. The holes provide sites for attaching the flange to the low air loss patient support system. One end of the comfort apparatus is formed at a bias to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member. An appendage is provided for disposition adjacent to the elongated cylindrical member at a position intermediate along the length of the elongated cylindrical member. Provision is made in the cover to surround the appendage as well as the elongated cylindrical member.
