Interventional teams face increasing amounts of scatter radiation exposure because of an increase in the number of complex PCIs performed in the Cath Lab.
The number of TAVR, CTO’s, Multi-Vessel, Peripheral and Endovascular procedures are increasing and require longer exposures to ionizing radiation than PCI alone.
These advancements are putting interventional teams’ long-term health at risk, linking to a series of significant health effects like cataracts, cancer, skin lesions, hypertension, neuro-degenerative disease and more generalized adverse health effects.
Learn more here about how you can protect your Cath Lab team, reducing scatter radiation by up to 91%:
