Positioning patients with spinal injuries, kyphosis, or degenerative disc disease for MRI can be time-consuming, physically demanding, and inconsistent—but it doesn’t have to be.

Introducing the MRI KyphoLift—an innovative, non-magnetic device designed to streamline and standardize patient positioning for more efficient, repeatable, and comfortable MRI exams.

With just one technologist, KyphoLift eliminates the need for manual lifting and stacks of shifting pillows. Patients are secured, adjusted with a simple pump system, and positioned at the optimal angle—reducing motion artifacts, staff strain, and appointment delays.

Ideal for facilities looking to improve throughput and imaging consistency, KyphoLift retrofits most MRI scanners and can even be used across other modalities.

Z&Z Medical is proud to introduce the MRI Kypholift, a specialized positioning device designed to improve patient comfort and optimize spinal alignment during MRI procedures.

The MRI Kypholift gently elevates the upper back and thoracic spine, helping to reduce strain and discomfort for patients with kyphosis or other spinal conditions. MRI-safe and non-magnetic, it offers a safe, effective way to achieve better positioning and image quality — all while enhancing patient relaxation.

Key Features:

• MRI-compatible and non-magnetic materials

• Provides gentle thoracic lift to improve spinal alignment

• Enhances patient comfort during long scans

• Durable, easy-to-clean surface

• Lightweight and easy to position

Whether used for spine imaging or general MRI exams, the MRI Kypholift is a versatile tool that supports both technologists and patients by improving positioning with ease.

In the ever-evolving landscape of Medical Imaging and Radiology, one name stands out for its commitment to innovation and excellence for imaging accessories: Z&Z Medical. With over four decades of experience in providing top-of-the-line radiology & imaging accessories, Z&Z Medical continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the field. And now, they're proud to announce the latest addition to their product offerings: the MRI Kypholift.

Getting patients with spinal injuries, fusions, degenerative disk disease, and kyphosis,  in the necessary position for MR exams can be challenging and can require more time than allotted or reimbursed for, but this new device could make it less burdensome on patients and providers alike. Standardizing patient positioning using the new Kypholift can enhance efficiency throughput for the entire patient workflow from preparation to image acquisition, reducing labor and turnaround times.

The conventional method of positioning kyphotic patients, those with a curved spine, in MR involves several clinicians lifting the patient from each side, raising the lumbar/pelvic region with sponges and pillows stuffed underneath, keeping the hips and head at required angles. This approach has numerous shortcomings, including the physical strain of lifting the patient, the discomfort of the resulting position, and the potential for pillows to shift and compromise scans. This innovative product is designed to enhance the overall MRI procedure for both patients and MRI staff.

KyphoLift provides a solid surface operated by a single technologist, eliminating the need for manual lifting. To use, a technologist places the device on the table, securely straps the patients in and then uses the attached pump to set the patient at the correct angle. In addition to decreasing patient anxiety, KyphoLift can be set to replicate studies at specific angles. The solution is designed to retrofit various MR scanners and could even prove useful for other imaging modalities with similar applications.

As healthcare professionals strive to deliver the highest quality care to patients, innovations like the MRI Kypholift play a pivotal role in enabling greater accuracy, efficiency, and comfort throughout the MRI imaging process.
