Inflatable Prone Support IPS
Fast, simple, ergonomic and safe!
World’s first inflatable, disposable prone support for surgery in prone position.
Surgeons and aneasthesists in training are teached to avoid venous congestion and pressure on nerves, but proning is one of the most heavy position switches for nursing staff. By mirroring the human skeleton and variations in size, the IPS supports the rib cage and pelvis while allowing the soft tissue and abdomen to hang freely. This reduces the risk of bedsores, reduces Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP) and prevents venous congestion. The use of compressed air instead of manual labour is an ergonomic breakthrough in the OR.

What our clients say about us
“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”
Johan Jespers
Nurse Intensive Care Unit
“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.”
