| Abstract | The invention may be embodied as a patient isolation device. The patient isolation device may comprise a cover having a first lower surface having an interior edge and an exterior edge, a second lower surface having an interior edge and an exterior edge, an interior surface extending between the interior edges, and an exterior surface extending between the exterior edges. The interior surface may define a patient space within which a patient may be positioned. The exterior surface may be substantially parallel to the interior surface. One or more extensions may be configured to be disposed between a mattress of a hospital bed, each extending proximate a lower surface of the cover. At least a portion of the interior surface may be arc-shaped and configured to define a patient space within which a patient may be positioned. |

| Claim | 1-62. (canceled) A patient isolation device, comprising: a cover having: (a) a first lower surface; (b) a second lower surface; (c) a translucent interior surface extending between the lower surfaces; (d) a translucent exterior surface extending between the lower surfaces; and wherein at least a portion of the interior surface is arc-shaped and the interior surface at least partially defines a patient space within which a patient may be positioned; and wherein the exterior surface is substantially parallel to the interior surface; and one or more extensions configured to be disposed between a mattress and a hospital bed, thereby fixing a position of the cover relative to the mattress, each extension extending from at least one of the following: the first lower surface; the interior surface proximate to the first lower surface; the exterior surface proximate to the first lower surface; the second lower surface; the interior surface proximate to the second lower surface; and the exterior surface proximate to the second lower surface; wherein at least one of the extensions is configured to facilitate at least a portion of the mattress being compressed toward the cover, thereby inhibiting the passage of an infectious agent between the mattress and the cover. The patient isolation device of claim 63, further comprising a support structure supporting the cover, wherein the support structure comprises tubes, and at least some of the tubes are arc-shaped, and at least some of the tubes are mateable with each other to form the support structure. The patient isolation device of claim 63, wherein each extension has a top surface substantially flush with one or more of the lower surfaces of the cover. The patient isolation device of claim 63, wherein the extensions are sized and positioned to facilitate pressing the lower surfaces toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 63, wherein the extensions are sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a portion of the interior surface toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 63, further comprising: a head-piece enclosing a head-end of the cover, and a head-piece extension extending from the head-piece and configured to be disposed between the mattress and the hospital bed; and the head-piece extension is flexible and configured to have a biased resting state pointing generally toward the foot-piece. The patient isolation device of claim 68, wherein the head-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a lower surface of the head-piece toward the mattress, thereby inhibiting the passage of an infectious agent between the mattress and the head-piece. The patient isolation device of claim 68, wherein the head-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a portion of the interior surface toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 63, further comprising: a foot-piece enclosing a foot-end of the cover, a foot-piece extension extending from the foot-piece and configured to be disposed between the mattress and the hospital bed; and the foot-piece extension is flexible and configured to have a biased resting state pointing generally toward the head-piece. The patient isolation device of claim 71, wherein the foot-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a lower surface of the foot-piece toward the mattress, thereby inhibiting the passage of an infectious agent between the mattress and the foot-piece. The patient isolation device of claim 71, wherein the foot-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a portion of the interior surface toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 63, further comprising an access port provided in at least one of the cover, a head-piece enclosing a head-end of the cover, or a foot-piece enclosing a foot-end of the cover. The patient isolation device of claim 74, wherein the access port is configured to receive a replaceable sleeve. A patient isolation device, comprising: a cover having: (a) a first lower surface; (b) a second lower surface; (c) a translucent interior surface extending between the lower surfaces; (d) a translucent exterior surface extending between the lower surfaces; and wherein at least a portion of the interior surface is arc-shaped and the interior surface at least partially defines a patient space within which a patient may be positioned; and wherein the exterior surface is substantially parallel to the interior surface; and one or more extensions configured to be disposed between a mattress and a hospital bed, thereby fixing a position of the cover relative to the mattress, each extension extending from at least one of the following: the first lower surface; the interior surface proximate to the first lower surface; the exterior surface proximate to the first lower surface; the second lower surface; the interior surface proximate to the second lower surface; and the exterior surface proximate to the second lower surface; wherein the extensions are sized and positioned to facilitate pressing the lower surfaces toward the mattress, thereby inhibiting the passage of an infectious agent between the mattress and the cover. The patient isolation device of claim 76, further comprising a support structure supporting the cover, wherein the support structure comprises tubes, and at least some of the tubes are arc-shaped, and at least some of the tubes are mateable with each other to form the support structure. The patient isolation device of claim 76, wherein each extension has a top surface substantially flush with one or more of the lower surfaces of the cover. The patient isolation device of claim 76, wherein the extensions are sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a portion of the interior surface toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 76, further comprising: a head-piece enclosing a head-end of the cover, and a head-piece extension extending from the head-piece and configured to be disposed between the mattress and the hospital bed; and the head-piece extension is flexible and configured to have a biased resting state pointing generally toward the foot-piece. The patient isolation device of claim 80, wherein the head-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a lower surface of the head-piece toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 80, wherein the head-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a portion of the interior surface toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 76, further comprising: a foot-piece enclosing a foot-end of the cover; a foot-piece extension extending from the foot-piece and configured to be disposed between the mattress and the hospital bed; and the foot-piece extension is flexible and configured to have a biased resting state pointing generally toward the head-piece. The patient isolation device of claim 83, wherein the foot-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a lower surface of the foot-piece toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 83, wherein the foot-piece extension is sized and positioned to facilitate pressing a portion of the interior surface toward the mattress. The patient isolation device of claim 76, further comprising an access port provided in at least one of the cover, a head-piece enclosing a head-end of the cover, or a foot-piece enclosing a foot-end of the cover. The patient isolation device of claim 86, wherein the access port is configured to receive a replaceable sleeve. |
