Abstract:
The present invention relates to a means for retaining stably a posture of a subject or a patient during a medical practice, namely, a medical posture retainer having a mat  1  and a core member. The mat  1  is composed of an airtight bag  2  and a cushion layer  3.  The airtight bag  2  is a cover of the mat  1  supporting the human body and retaining the posture. The airtight bag  2  has a gas barrier property, and an exhaust valve for deflation is attached to the airtight bag  2.  The cushion layer  3  is formed of strata of particles P filled in the airtight bag  2.  The core member includes a plate-like support  4  that is attached to a (inner or outer) side face of the airtight bag  2  to keep a certain rise height of the airtight bag  2,  and a stopper  6  that is attached to the upper face and the lower face of the airtight bag  2  so as to restrict the rise height of the airtight bag  2.  The core member is attached to the airtight bag  2  before deflation of the airtight bag  2  so as to impart a shape necessary for receiving a specific part of a human body.

Claim (Index 5):
The medical posture retainer according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the core member is an elastic plate-like holder shaped in advance predeterminedly, comprising a pair of supporting flat portions and a hinge portion, the pair of supporting flat portions that support the mat is supported by the hinge portion on both sides of the hinge portion to open outward, the mat is supported on the supporting flat portions to bridge over the hinge portion, and the hinge portion is elastically deformed by weight of the specific part of the human body to allow the pair of supporting flat portions to get closer so that the mat supported on the pair of supporting flat portions bridging over the hinge portion is pressed against the specific part of the human body.
