Abstract
The invention is Bedside-ready Patient Ambulatory Device to facilitate a patient in getting out of bed and moving about. The device itself includes three significant parts. The first is a U-shaped base frame member supported by six castor type wheels. The second member is a midframe member which is generally U-shaped and upwardly extending bent above the mid point of the distal legs of the U-shaped midframe member to form an upper portion generally planar with the underlying U-shaped base frame member. The third element is an I.V. pole supported vertically by crossbars on the midframe member and the base frame member. The device facilitates the ambulatory movement of a patient while serving as a transport vehicle for needed treatment paraphernalia.
