PITTSBURGH, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "As a nurse, I thought there could be a better way for a patient to relieve themselves without leaving the bed, without the discomforts associated with traditional bedpans and briefs, and while decreasing the risk of skin breakdowns and bed sore formation on the coccyx," said an inventor, from Childersburg, Ala., "so I invented the ASSIST BED. My design will also help to prevent the strain and possible injuries that are associated with lifting patients."

The patent-pending invention provides an improved way for patients to relieve themselves while in their hospital beds, while also preventing skin breakdown. In doing so, it eliminates the need for the patient to leave their bed, and it eliminates the need for briefs and conventional bedpans. As a result, it increases safety, comfort, and convenience. The invention features a practical design that is easy to use, so it is ideal for medical facilities, home healthcare settings, nursing homes, etc.

The original design was submitted to the Birmingham sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
