Inflatable Support for Multiple Applications IxS
Choose the shape and size that suits you best
Two shapes, two sizes, three 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)
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.
Facial care in the ICU can be an ergonomic challenge. Our IxS puts an end to repeated tilting of patients: you can simply inflate and deflate our cushion at any time to wash or nurse a patient’s face. A clear example of how the power of compressed air can be an ergonomic breakthrough in the ICU.
The most common application of our Inflatable Support is in surgeries with patient in lateral position. You place the sickle shaped support (IxS-S) under the armpit or waist and inflate it during the procedure to reach the surgical goal (e.g heart or kidney).
This application is commonly known as “the Nierenrolle”. Placement of the IxS cushion under the xiphoid ensures optimal access to the renal pelvis and anterior calices. The use of an inflatable in percutaneous nephrolitholapaxis, for example, allows the kidneys to be fixed between the 11th and 12th rib.
