About KyphoLift™
Getting patients with spinal injuries, fusions, degenerative disk disease, and kyphosis in the necessary position for MR exams can be challenging. It often requires more time than allotted or reimbursed for, but the KyphoLift™ device makes it less burdensome on patients and providers. Standardizing patient positioning using KyphoLift enhances efficiency throughput for the entire patient workflow, from preparation to image acquisition, reducing labor and turnaround times.
Conventional methods of positioning kyphotic patients involve multiple clinicians, pillows, and sponges, which can be physically taxing, uncomfortable for the patient, and prone to shifting during scans. KyphoLift provides a solid, adjustable surface operated by a single technologist, eliminating manual lifting and ensuring consistent positioning. This innovative product is designed to enhance the overall MRI procedure for both patients and MRI staff.
