An isolation chamber for providing containment for a contaminated patient includes a flexible enclosure that is configurable to receive a contaminated patient therein. The enclosure includes a first side, a second side, a top that is hingedly pivotable about a top of the first side, a bottom, a first end, and a second end. The top is maintained spaced apart from the bottom such that the top is maintained out of physical contact with a contaminated patient received in the enclosure. A plurality of attachment devices are disposed on at least one of the first and second sides or the first and second ends. The plurality of attachment devices are configured to attach to one of the first and second sides or the first and second ends to support members of a stretcher. If desired, ventilation may be provided within the isolation chamber. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides an isolation chamber that provides containment for a contaminated patient.
Advantageously, embodiments of the present invention are usable with different types of stretchers, and are lightweight, easy to use, and storable in a small, compact space.
Further, after the isolation chamber has been used to provide containment for a contaminated patient, the isolation chamber may be sterilized for future use or disposed of, as desired.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, an isolation chamber for providing containment for a contaminated patient may be used with a hospital-type stretcher.
The isolation chamber includes a flexible enclosure that is configurable to receive a contaminated patient therein.
The enclosure includes a first side, a second side, a top that is hingedly pivotable about a top of the first side, a bottom, a first end, and a second end.
The top is maintained spaced apart from the bottom such that the top is maintained out of physical contact with a contaminated patient received in the enclosure.
A plurality of attachment devices are disposed on at least one of the first and second sides or the first and second ends.
The plurality of attachment devices are configured to attach at least one of the first and second sides or the first and second ends to support members of a stretcher.
According to an aspect of the invention, a plurality of enclosures is provided to releasably attach the top to the first and second ends and the second side.
The plurality of closures help maintain the top spaced apart from the bottom.
According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an isolation chamber for providing containment for a contaminated patient may be used with a field stretcher.
The isolation chamber includes a flexible enclosure that is configurable to receive a contaminated patient therein.
The enclosure includes a first end that defines a pocket that extends about a periphery of the first end.
The enclosure also includes a second end, a bottom and a top
