Sterile and disposable, RADPAD® shields have been tested in numerous independent studies and have proven to be the single most effective agent available in reducing scatter radiation in multiple medical interventional specialities utilising x-radiation.
RADPAD® technology and protection is available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes from general purpose to highly specialised shields for specific procedures such as biopsy, femoral entry angiography, EP studies, dialysis declotting, biventricular pacemaker and many other interventional procedures. They are also available as table skirts and shields for CT.
RADPAD® has the following advantages:
- Simple one time use shields that can be positioned over the sterile drape
- Protects the physician and scrub nurse against scatter radiation
- Lead free so can be disposed of after the case
- Intelligently shaped for each procedure to give maximum protection
