Slide the IBO under the patient in supine position.
Make sure that the entire trunk (thorax and abdomen) is on the IBO.
Slide the IBO to the side where the white valve is located, away from the tilt direction.Step 1Spread the patient’s arms.
Place the thorax cover on the patient. Use the skeleton as a reference:
• The cover moves about 3 centimeters while turning. Therefore, move the cover a few centimeters in the tilt direction: align the line with the arrow of the correct tilt direction with the patient’s center line.
•The cross of the tilt line must lie exactly on the xyphoid.
First attach the side strip of the tilt line (2a) to the patient’s body. Then attach the other side strip (2b). Make sure that the cover lies tightly over the patient’s body.Step 2Place the pelvic cover on the patient. Use the skeleton as a reference:
• Select the line with the arrow in the tilt direction and place that line on the centerline of the patient.
• The cross of the tilt line must lie exactly on the pubic symphysis.
First, attach the side strip of the tilt side (3a) on the patient’s body. Then stick the other side strip (3b). Make sure that the cover lies tightly over the patient’s body.Step 3Stick the cushions in the middle of the covers.
The hoses of the cushions are diverted to the feet, with the valves in the direction of the IBO valve.
Attach the ‘side adhesive strips’ of the cushion tightly to the patient’s body. Start with the tape at the tilting side (4a – 4b – 4c – 4d).Step 4Place the patient’s arm over the tubing, next to the body.
Now attach the shoulder strips (5a & 5b) of the thoracic cushion.
Cross the ankle from the tilt side over the ankle of the turning side (5c).Step 5Inflate the IBO by using the Hummingbird. Inflating the IBO gradually puts the patient in a lateral position.
Stop inflating from time to time to slide the IBO to the side so that the patient tilts in the middle of the bed.
Gently roll the patient into prone position. Hang the IBO on a hook; it automatically deflates.Step 6Loosen the 10 side strips of the cover and cushions and position the patient’s arms.
First, inflate the thoracic cushion. Do this with special attention to the position of the patient’s neck. Then inflate the pelvic cushion.
Stop inflating when the cushions are filled to the maximum. You will hear a whistle signal.Step 7Inflate and deflate.
Use the nose of the Hummingbird to inflate the IPV. The ring of the valve should be in closed position.
To release the air from the IPV, open the pinch clamp and shift the ring in open position.Step 8
We use the Operoll for Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and it makes our work much easier

A functional and high-quality product that greatly relieves the user when positioning patients!

As an alternative to placing pillows under the pelvis and lower legs, our team came up with the idea of working with a cylindrical pillow that lies under the alternate mattress, which you can inflate with compressed air

Interposition graft for popliteal aneurysm is favorable in prone position. The Inflatable Prone Support (IPS) and Inflatable Board (IBO) make proning and the prone position possible even for patients with high BMI and large abdominal circumference. Using compressed air offers a big ergonomic advantage!Ergonomics are important for medical and supporting staff!

We can now easily reposition the patient alone. Before we needed two, sometimes three nurses. The advantage of the Morphemat for the patient? Its back is supported from neck to legs and not at two points. See our video testimonial
