Usage Summary:
A new development in sleep systems is offered for sale,
license, or participation.
The new system completely and evenly supports the sleeper
without the differential pressures associated with
conventional mattresses, including water-mattresses.
Therefore, it can be used to prevent or treat decubis ulcer
(bed sores), spinal injury, burns, comfort for the late term
preggie, and almost any other condition aggravated by common
beds. Special ventilation is provided to keep the sleeper
comfortable.
Provisions are also made for treatment of specific wound such
as bed sores, abrasions, burns, cuts, etc by spot application
of therapeutic gasses and salves. Other provisions and
accessories treat sleep apnea and can provide traction and/or
mobility exercise.
Patent status:
Reply to First Office action has been filed.
There were no 103 obviousness objections, and the 102
objection has been countered.
Commercial Objective:
There are commercial uses with profit potential apart from
any medical utility. The risk of injury to reasonably healthy
individuals is minimal and the system could be used to
provide non-medical relaxation treatment. The relief
potential for preggies and general occupational or athletic
stiff-and-sore is obvious.
Medical Objective:
Treatments of condition as outlined above. Such treatment
should be tested under proper clinical oversight and FDA
certification sought for the system as part of a patient treatment
procedure. No innovative medication is anticipated, but
there are novel delivery features and the stress-free
sleep/rest apparatus is in itself a relieving treatment for
spinal stress related conditions and decubis ulcers.
Participation Sought:
There are opportunities for both clinical tryout and
commercial applications.
