A New Unique System For Proning Patients More Safely In Operating Theatres

The Proturn® was developed to replace the hazardous manual system of Flip & Catch, common in many operating theatres that leaves patients and staff at risk of injury. Designed to enhance safety, the Proturn® will turn patients into and out of the prone position safely and efficiently, protect the arm in the manoeuvre, eliminate static positioning and remove the dangerous reaching, stretching and catching.

This results in less staff being required. Removes the risk of musculoskeletal injury and any risk of patient nerve or tissue damage due to poor handling. Positionally accurate, easy to use and safe for all. Choose Proturn® for all your prone positioning.

Ergotrics – Inflatable Support for Multiple Applications IxS

Choose the shape and size that suits you best

The IxS is an inflatable disposable device that supports and positions body parts during any surgical or medical procedure or examination.

Proper positioning of the patient provides optimal access to the surgical area while maintaining body function and structural integrity.
Using compressed air and inflatables makes perioperative positioning easy, ergonomic and safe.

Thanks to its smart design it gives more stability for patients of any weight and allows surgeons to alter position even during surgery.
Available in different shapes and sizes at Hospital Direct, the only UK and Ireland distributor of Ergotrics products.

The Sickle Inflatable IxS-S is used for the many procedures including ALIF.
Before anaesthesia, you tape the inflatable at the appropriate place on the patient’s body. For the ALIF procedure you inflate the cushion during surgery, carefully creating a lordosis for obtaining an indirect distraction of the anterior column.
The rectangular IxS (IxS-R) lifts the torso of the patient under anaesthesia in a controlled manner without manual force.
The Salaam or knee-chest position is a surgical position often used for decompressive spinal surgery. It is an effective positioning for the procedure and without an ergonomic burden for the medical staff.

“Time is of the essence during exposure and repair of the aorta. The use of the inflatable support allowed for repositioning in just a few seconds.”
