  • The problem to be solved:
    Construction of a bed to prevent decubitus or to treat the bed sore.
  • Definition:
    ADB is an electronic controlled automatic running bed producing a continuos massage on the lying surface without disturbing the patient. The frequency of the change of the lying surface or frequency of the massage depend on an electromotor (24V) supervised by time switch or electronics. The minimal vertical pulsation (0,5-1 cm) of the whole body of the patient does not disturb infusion or other instrumental controls of patient.
  • Presentation:
    Decubitus is one of the greatest danger for the continuously bedridden-patients. Frequently the consequence of the bed-sore, necrobiosis and its bacterial contamination may lead to sepsis or toxicosis causing death of the patient. The treatments of decubitus are circumstantial, expensive and labor intensive. In ADB patient never have bed sore or the decubitus recover quicker, cheaper and without giving problems for the nurse.
    The ADB does not need special storage. It can be used as a regular bed in the hospital, if the operation of the mechanism is not needed.
    Because it is relatively inexpensive, it is available for all hospitals.

  • Application: Medical fields.
  • Advantages:
    It can prevent decubitus, and promotes recovery of developed decubitus. The night will be refreshing for the people with lack of sleeping reflex. After exhausting work and bending it is a pleasure to have a little rest in the ADB.
  • Stage of development:
    It is prototype, but the factory is ready to produce.
  • Documentation available: Yes
The inventor(s)
  • Name(s): István HORVÁTH, Dr.Sci.

  • Self introduction:
    I am medical biologist, finding anticholesterol antibody in human sera in Hungary. This antibody has an important role in the protection against atherosclerosis. In the last time the antigen giving active protection against experimental atherosclerosis (Now it is in preclinical level) and the ADB were patented by me. The most serious and dangerous diseases (decubitus, atherosclerosis, cancer, psoriasis ) are in the focus of my interest, and I believe the ADB is only one of the successes I achieved in the field of my interest.
