A million cases of cancer in the large intestine occur in the whole world every year. A number of patients have surgery, but subsequently there is much mental and physical pain to bear, both by nurses and patients. Colon cancer patients need to be nursed with delicacy and a lot of care, and the most difficult care period is the week following the surgery. Angel Wings helps nurses in case of difficult periods. It took the designers of Angel Wings, Lee Byung-Joon, Roh Gina, Kim Do-Heon, Park Ji-Eun a lot of time to observe a patient who underwent surgery for colon cancer. They analyzed the inconveniences felt, gained an understanding of the patient’s experience and considered all the necessary things to make the patient more comfortable.

Angel Wings has been made in a mattress format, which is easy to clean and set up. It includes many air pockets, and air is made to flow between these pockets to help the patient with rolling onto their side or support different parts of the body. The mattress will be flat in case all pockets include the same amount of air. The air flow can be controlled by patients with a push-button unit. Massage holes in the air bags make it possible for the patient’s shoulder and back to be massaged even when an air pocket supports the patient’s body. As tubes man run through the mattress to the patient’s waist, patients can roll over without being troubled by them.

According to the designers Angel Wings will hopefully be able to relieve the pain of those who suffer from colon cancer.
