Abstract

A siderail assembly comprises a siderail and a medical line manager. The siderail includes a siderail body having a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface extending between about the first surface and about the second surface. The medical line manager is integrated into at least one of the first surface, the second surface, and the side surface of the siderail. The medical line manager includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and the second side. The medical line manager is configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A person-support apparatus, comprising:
a frame configured to support a person thereon;
a siderail coupled to the frame, the siderail including a siderail body with a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface extending between the first surface and the second surface, the first surface being oriented such that the first surface faces toward the frame and the second surface being oriented such that the second surface faces away from the frame, the third surface including a medical line manager configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein;
a headboard coupled to the frame, the headboard including a medical line manager integrated into a surface of the headboard;
wherein the medical line manager of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between the first side and the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein wherein at least one of the first side and the second side protrudes from the at least one of the first surface, the second surface, and the third surface;
wherein the siderail includes a movement mechanism coupled to the siderail body and configured to rotate the siderail body between a deployed position and a storage position; and
a grip portion including an opening passing through the first surface and the second surface and cooperating with the third surface to define a grip.

2. The person-support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the medical line manager of the headboard includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between the first side and the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.

3. The person-support apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the medical line manager of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.

4. The person-support apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the siderail includes a plurality of medical line managers and each of the plurality of medical line managers of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line managers each being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein and wherein at least a portion of one of the plurality of medical line managers extends from a surface of the siderail.

5. The person-support apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the siderail includes a plurality of medical line managers and each of the plurality of medical line managers of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line managers each being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein and wherein at least a portion of one of the plurality of medical line managers extends from a surface of the siderail.

6. The person-support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the headboard includes a plurality of medical line managers integrated into a surface of the headboard.

7. A person-support apparatus, comprising:
a frame configured to support a person thereon;
a siderail coupled to the frame, the siderail including a medical line manager integrated into a surface of the siderail and configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein;
the siderail including a siderail body with a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface extending between the first surface and the second surface; and
a grip portion including an opening passing through the first surface and the second surface and cooperating with the third surface to define a grip.

8. The person-support apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising at least one of a headboard or a footboard coupled to the frame, wherein the at least one headboard or footboard includes a plurality of medical line managers integrated into a surface of the at least one headboard or footboard.

9. The person-support apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the medical line manager of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein wherein at least one of the first side and the second side protrudes from the at least one of the first surface, the second surface, and the side surface.

10. The person-support apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the medical line manager of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.

11. The person-support apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the medical line manager of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein wherein at least one of the first side and the second side protrudes from the at least one of the first surface, the second surface, and the side surface.

12. The person-support apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the medical line manager of the at least one headboard or footboard includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.

13. The person-support apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the medical line manager of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line manager being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.

14. The person-support apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one headboard or footboard includes a plurality of medical line managers and each of the plurality of medical line managers of the headboard or footboard includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between the first side and the second side, the medical line managers each being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.

15. The person-support apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the siderail includes a plurality of medical line managers and each of the plurality of medical line managers of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line managers each being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein and wherein at least a portion of one of the plurality of medical line managers extends from a surface of the siderail.

16. The person-support apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the siderail includes a plurality of medical line managers and each of the plurality of medical line managers of the siderail includes a first side, a second side, and a bottom extending between about the first side and about the second side, the medical line managers each being configured to receive and removably retain at least one medical line therein.
