Safety & efficiency, standardized
The Room Is Engineered.The Patient Isn't.
MRI workflow is built for consistency: timed appointments, defined protocols, optimized sequences.
Patient positioning in Zone IV still isn't.
For many patients, positioning is straightforward. For others, it takes extra people, stacked pads, and repeated adjustments — creating a position that can shift while the scan is running.
KyphoLift® makes positioning as reliable as the rest of the room.
One technologist. No lift team. No improvised setup.
Lift, position, and hold the patient throughout the exam.
Bring Safe Patient Handling into Zone IV.
Give your team a safer way to position patients. Complete more exams.

How the hold works
The table doesn’t lift. The bladder does.
KyphoLift sits on the scanner table you already have. A long base keeps the center of gravity low. A custom bladder under the pad inflates from a foot pump — the patient rises on a stable plane instead of being hoisted onto foam. Straps and an anti-slip substrate keep coil-to-anatomy where you set it. Disconnect the hose before the scan; the angle holds, coupled or free, through the exam. The inclinometer documents it.
Inflate
Foot pump. Hands stay with the patient. Measurable elevation — not a stack of laundry.
Hold
Load-bearing bladder. Disconnect hoses. The position does not decompress mid-sequence.
Document
Inclinometer. Same angle for the next series, the next contrast, the next tech.
No manual lifting
The hold stays. The second set of hands does not have to.
Load-bearing through the exam
Pneumatic support holds the angle from first sequence to last.
MR Conditional up to 3.0T
Not MR Safe. Carrying case and foot pump stay outside 200 gauss.
Fits the magnet you run
Vendor-agnostic. No installation. No scanner downtime.
How to set up
Same table. Same room. Different hold.
Best placed before the patient arrives for head and neck work. Gleiter is the transfer onto that surface. KyphoLift is still the elevation.
- 01Place the unit on the scanner table with the hinged portion against the head or neck coil — before the patient arrives when you can.
- 02Inspect the bladder and surface. Do not use the unit if damage is present.
- 03Connect the foot pump with the quick-connect hoses.
- 04Position the gel substrate and comfort pad. Secure the patient with buckle straps.
- 05Inflate until the desired elevation. Measure the angle with the included inclinometer and annotate the exam.
- 06Disconnect hoses before the scan. After the exam, deflate, unbuckle, clean, and store.
