Can you use on a patient that is lying down?

i would think so...as long as the arm of the patient is available and there is a steady level surface for the device.

yes, you can use it lying down or sitting. just make sure it sits on a flat surface.

Possibly. I had rotator cuff surgery and it gave me limited success in being able to lay on that side for short periods.

Yes you can use it on as many patients as you want, long as 1) the battery is still charged 2) Sanitize inbetween patients!!!I am still unable to connect it to my iphone though!

My mother-in-law has to sleep practically sitting up. She has used this to relieve discomfort she had due to a pressure sore. She slept sitting on it, but like I said she has a hospital bed and has to sleep sitting up. If you were laying down, I don't know how comfortable it would be.

If you are asking if you can use this to lift someone from a wheelchair, yes. You have to get the sling under the patient in the proper position, attach the loops and slowly pump the handle. The same technique can be used in the reverse slowly lower the person in the chair. It works because the bottom legs of the unit can spread fairly wide, sliding them to either side of the chair. I hope this helps.

Not necessarily. But if you lay down, you may fall asleep and if so, it can be dangerous, since you will have restricted blood flow to your head...

Two devices can be used in conjunction with each other, ie; 1 set under the shoulders and 1 set under the hips. This technique allows caregivers to easily rotate a bedridden individual to prevent/treat pressure sores or for access to other parts of the body to perform other procedures or for hygiene. The same 2 device arrangement can be used to help boost a bedridden individual up in bed (towards the headboard) in cases where the individual has slid down too close to the footboard.

That is up to you. You can use it whenever you need it for as long as you can tolerate it. I mostly use mine at bedtime, and have fallen asleep bare-skinned for the entire night. I've woken up with it slightly stuck to my back, but had the best nights sleep! Many people cannot tolerate doing that; my husband can't even take it for 2 minutes. I use it for Lupus myalgia and pain from cervical disks. It has been a God-send.

Sorry Pauline Instructions says not to lean on pad.It works well lying on your back though with face down.

Can't say I've ever tried doing that with my HoMedics Massager, but I think it probably can be done. I don't believe there's anything that forces the back of the chair to stay in an upright position, so you could probably lay it flat and turn it on while laying in a hospital bed.

Yes, in fact I found that pad to be rather uncomfortable to lie on, would probably put a heavier covering than just a sheet.Some patients, and I, too, complained about the feeling of the little round buttons.

Yes you certainly can use it to clean a patient in the bed. It is a spray so you have a lot of control over where you would like to apply it. I have found it to be a wonderful product. We use it in caring for my mother.

My Mom uses this item, she is 76 and has very sensitive skin. She says if she were to lay on she does think she would feel them.

you could use it just as well, the waterproof is only on the top side but so far I find it works well with a dementia spouse. It does not make a noise and seems comfortable enough.

If the person turns around it can be used in a reclining position. So the person will now be in a sitting position and not laying flat.

A friend of mine had one of these. I tried it and found it to be an awesome experience. But it was sitting on the floor. The device seems a bit heavy to put on a bed. However I suppose that if someone is physically impaired a caregiver might be able to help them get it in place.
