Sorry, here are attachments.
I am tempted to hand this project off in its entirety to the guys at Columbia Gadget Works. I think they could make a simplified version of this and it wouldn’t hold up PPE projects. It might be good to do due diligence, though, to make sure we actually can’t just purchase something similar (Johannes)?

Hello Laura –
You reached out to the right team. Kevin Gillis, cc’d, is leading a multi-pronged Hack COVID task force. He will certainly be in touch soon, we just finished a zoom meeting with colleagues across campus and MU Healthcare to address needs.

Wonderful. Thanks, Praveen.
Let me also add that I realize this may not be possible, but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take…

Hi Laura,
Thanks for reaching out. I am copying Dr. Kevin Gillis who is leading our College of Engineering efforts in assisting with medical equipment. Also copied are our Dean and Research Dean in case they know any faculty with the necessary expertise in our college.
Thank you for all you are doing for the community during this crisis.

Friends,
As you all know, those of us at MU Health Care are working hard to be as ready as possible for the inevitable surge of COVID patients. I’m reaching out for some equipment-related help. This is mostly for you brilliant and resourceful engineering folks and for those of you with engineering contacts.
One of the treatment techniques that seems to help COVID patients on ventilators is turning them face down in bed. This allows for better lung function. However, without specialized equipment for this, the process of turning requires many staff members (often 5-6) in full body contact with the patient. Given that full body PPE is unobtainable, this is not a safe situation for our staff. We used to have the device pictured in the attachments. For a variety of reasons, this device is no longer available. There are softer, fancier versions out there, but not available.
My ask is this: is there anyone willing and able to actually build similar devices? What we want is a contraption that one or two staff members that could slide a patient into and then rotate into a prone position.
Thanks for your help.

My first thought is start with two engine stands.

Ideally you then find a bed frame (or cot) that can be attached at the ends.

But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of the police forces and the fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory...
Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and you pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

Holes could be cut for the patients head, and handles on the sides to lift the whole thing with the patient on it.

It uses straps for holding the patient.

It shouldn't be a problem to make a similar design. I'm wondering if 4 inch nylon load straps would suffice for this purpose?
