Design a suspension bath and a submersion tank to assist in treating severely burned or injured patients. The system is to provide a method of reducing pain and suffering resulting from patient lying in bed and being moved to access areas of the body to be treated. The bath will be designed to permit a patient being submerged for long periods of time to promote healing and provide access to the patient's body for physical treatments, such as debriding. The system's heating will maintain required temperatures and will constantly recycle and filter the bath to maintain proper balance.

The bath should include medicinal components to maintain a sterile environment and to promote healing, the balance of medicinal components to be tested periodically.

The system's recycling system will be provided to detect body wastes using sensors, optical, chemical, etc, to activate extraction devices to divert wastes to external drains.

The system will include a mechanical means of loading and unloading the patient from the submersion tank.
