The Mini-Wedge is a small inflatable with an attached flap. Ideal to lift one body part below 25 kg like the shoulder or pelvic area.

Proper positioning of the patient provides optimal access to the surgical site but these position switches are technically and ergonomically difficult and can lead to post-operative complications for the patient.
Using compressed air and inflatables makes perioperative positioning easy, ergonomic and safe.
It can also be used on rigid carbon tables in hybrid operating rooms. A fast, safe and innovative solution that helps the manual handling of patients – Mini-Wedge – is now available at Hospital Direct, the only UK and Ireland distributor of Ergotrics products.
