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 1):
An underbody support for a patient, the support comprising:\n one or more inflatable chambers enclosing a volume; at least one of the inflatable chambers includes one or more compression sensitive switches for monitoring the volume of the inflatable chamber, the one or more compression sensitive switches located within the inflatable chamber; wherein the one or more compression sensitive switches are sized to close when the inflatable chamber is deflated to a desired residual volume, wherein at least one of the one or more compression sensitive switches comprises two layers of flexible, electrically conductive material separated by a compressible switch layer made of compressible material, and the compressible switch layer includes one or more holes within which the two layers of electrically conductive material contact each other when at least one of the compression sensitive switches is sufficiently compressed.
