How to use IBO and IPS
Product Demo and IBO
Position the flexible part of the IBO on the operating table.
Make sure the entire trunk (thorax and abdomen) is on the IBO.
Stick the IPS (Inflatable Prone Support) on the patient with the skeleton (rib lattice and pelvic comb) as a reference.
The hoses of the cushion are diverted to the feet, with the valves in the direction of the IBO valve.
Stick the ‘adhesive side tapes’ tightly on the patient’s body.
Cross the ankle from the lift side over the ankle of the tilt side.
With the help of the Hummingbird, the IBO is inflated.
Inflating the IBO puts the patient in a side position.
Hang the IBO on a hook; it will automatically deflate within 10 minutes.
Place the patient’s arms on the armrests and loosen the adhesive strips from the side.
Do this with extra attention to the position of the patient’s neck.
Stop inflating when the cushion is filled to the maximum. You’ll to hear a whistle.

Inflating the IPS cushions puts the patient’s body in the prone position with free-hanging abdomen.
Use the Hummingbird’s horn to let off pressure if desired. Use the nose of the Hummingbird to inflate the IPS if necessary.
After the patient is turned back on the back, the hoses may be cut to deflate the IPS.

What our clients say about us
“The IPV is a super product. Thank you for your beautiful and practical solution to ventilate patients comfortably in the prone position.”
Team Intensive Care
AZ St-Maarten Belgium
“This method is simple, more ergonomic and more hygienic than the ways and materials with which one is familiar today. The position of the patient was correct and stable.”
OR Team
UZ Leuven (Belgium)
“One day these medical devices will become mandatory.”
Neurosurgeon
UZ Gent (Belgium)
“With the Ergotrics inflatable prone positioning system you can work much faster, more hygienically and healthier for the staff, both when the patient is transferred to the prone position and during the positioning itself.”
Prof Robert Pflugmacher,
Universitätsklinikum Bonn (Germany)
“The ergonomic advantages of inflatable positioning devices are clear. Furthermore we think that the optimal positioning also will result in less intra-abdominal pressure and therefore less venous pressure, better operating conditions and possibly less intraoperative blood loss. We will investigate this further.”
Dr. F. van Eijs, M.D, Ph.D.
Anesthetist, ETZ The Netherlands
“With the IBO and IPS we can prepare the patient for surgery in prone position with 2 nurses less. This is a great advantage for efficiency in the operating theatre”
