PT Inflatable Support for Multiple Applications IxS
Choose the shape and size that suits you best
Two shapes, two sizes, two versions: a dozen different variations
Proper positioning of the patient provides optimal access to the surgical or medical procedure site while maintaining body function and structural integrity. Using compressed air instead of manual labor is an ergonomic breakthrough in the hospital. Thanks to the different shapes and variations, the IxS supports provide optimal positioning for a wide range of applications.

Applications (some examples)
Our Sickle Inflatable (IxS-Sickle) is used for the ALIF procedure. Before anesthesia, you tape the inflatable in the appropriate place on the patient’s back. During surgery, you inflate the cushion, carefully creating the indirect distraction. When Paul Depauw, neurosurgeon, tried this for the first time, he was impressed and satisfied with the result “Lifting the patient manually to put a pillow under them is too abrupt. The inflatable pillow provides a very gentle lardosis.”
The rectangular version of the IxS allows for a temporary supine position during open vascular surgery. You position the patient in the supine position on the rigid operating table in the hybrid operating room (OR) with the inflatable under his back at the level of the abdominal aorta. Intra-operatively, you can inflate and deflate the support to the appropriate height. The surgeon who did this for the first time was very pleased with the result: “The inflatable support provided an easy, safe and quick method of lifting the abdomen during the exposure and repair of the aorta. Time is of the essence and the use of the inflatable support allowed for repositioning in just a few seconds.”
The Salaam or knee-chest position is a surgical position often used for decompressive spinal surgery (lumbar disc surgery and surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis). However, it is challenging for the medical staff. The IxS-rectangular lifts the torso of the anesthetized patient without manual labor and in a controlled manner.
IxS helps to reduce lumbar lordosis and facilitate access to the spine. Whether you are targeting a neurostimulation goal or performing other (minimally invasive) spinal surgery that requires access to the spine, widening the intervertebral space (interlaminar space or neuroforaminae) facilitates navigation and allows you to focus on the task at hand.
The Operoll allows optimal thyroid exposure. The Operoll is placed under the patient’s shoulders on the operating table. After the incision, the Operoll is gently inflated. This brings the chest up and opens up the surgical area.
