Inflatable Prone Support (IPS)

Surgeons and anesthetists in training are taught to avoid venous congestion and pressure on nerves, but proning is one of the most physically demanding position changes for nursing staff. By mirroring the human skeleton and accounting for 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, lowers Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP), and prevents venous congestion. The use of compressed air instead of manual labor represents an ergonomic breakthrough in the OR.
