Ergotrics NV products

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.

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.

An ergonomic breakthrough in hospital care. Turning patients from supine to prone position remains a technically and ergonomically difficult task, especially with patients weighting over 80kg (175lb). A patient under general anaesthesia should not be tilted by one person alone. The Inflatable Board (IBO) is the ideal device for the safe and controlled tilting of patients.
