Abstract:
Apparatus and methods related to an underbody support for supporting a body of a being, such as during surgery to prevent contact pressure injuries. In certain embodiments, the underbody support may include one or more inflatable chambers enclosing a volume. At least one of the inflatable chambers may include one or more compression sensitive switches for monitoring the volume of the inflatable chamber, and the one or more compression sensitive switches may be located within the inflatable chamber. In some embodiments the one or more compression sensitive switches are sized to close when the said inflatable chamber is deflated to a desired residual volume.

Claim (Index 32):
A method of providing underbody support to support a body of a being, the method comprising:\n providing an underbody support comprising:\n an inflatable chamber enclosing a volume; \n an openable and closeable switch disposed within the inflatable chamber; \n a processor having a control algorithm, the processor being in electrical communication with the switch; \n a pump for inflating the inflatable chamber, the pump being in electrical communication with the processor; \n a valve for deflating the inflatable chamber, the valve being in electrical communication with the processor; \n placing the body on the underbody support; \n inflating or deflating the inflatable chamber with the pump or the valve to a partially inflated position until the switch switches from closed to open; and \n maintaining the volume of the inflatable chamber at the partially inflated position.
