PT All-in-one patient positioning support
Operoll
A must-have in every Operating Room
The all-in-one patient positioning aid
Proper positioning of the patient provides optimal access to the surgical area or medical procedure site while maintaining body function and structural integrity.
The inflatable Operoll is placed under the patient on the operating table (or any other supporting surface). When the patient needs (re)positioning, the Operoll is partially or fully inflated using compressed air, which will lift the patient in the desired position. The Operoll can maintain this position until the deflation valve is opened. Thanks to the simple cylinder shape and easy deflation/inflation valve, the Operoll provides optimal positioning for a wide range of applications, such as prone positioned epidural in pain clinics, lateral positioning (AAA and kidney procedures), difficult intubations, etc… Ideal for hybrid operating rooms with rigid operating table.
Use IxS if you need more stability and 100% hygiene. The IxS is a preformed support which is advised for more precision surgery and heavy weight patients.
Benefits of the Operoll
- Adjustable (inflate/deflate)
- Safety valve (avoids overpressure with umbrella valves and warning whistle tone)
- Double cover to avoid leaks (airtight high frequency welding inside)
- Biocompatible cover (Oekotex certified) that can be used directly on skin
- X-ray permeable
- Better ergonomics for healthcare workers by using compressed air

Applications (some examples)
The most common application of the Operoll is in the lateral position. You place the Operoll under the armpit or the waist and inflate it during the procedure to reach the surgical goal (e.g. heart of kidney).
This application is commonly known as the Kidneyroll (or Nierenrolle).
Painless accessability of the epidural space is a challenge. For optimal treatment the lumbar spine needs to delordosate. The Operoll helps to bring the patient into the right position for this. The Operoll is placed under the patient in the prone position at the level of the iliac crest. When the Operoll is inflated, the patient’s hollow back is straightened creating a wider interlaminar window ideal for treatment.
Because of the ease of use and patient comfort, the Operoll is used in this way for prone positioned epidural infiltration, nerve blocks or implantation of epidural electrodes (Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS).
During intubation, it is sometimes difficult to insert the tube into the trachea, for example when the patient has a high BMI. A short neck, small mandible, small mouth opening and poorly mobile neck can also be reasons why intubation is difficult. In these case, it is desirable to obtain the optimal intubation position for each patient, but every patient is different and unique. With the Operol, the ideal position can be set for each patient: you can simply inflate or gently deflate the cushion.
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.
