🧼 Tech Tip Tuesday: Sterility Matters!

When in doubt, throw it out. If you’re unsure whether an item, surface, or part of the sterile field has been contaminated, don’t take chances—consider it contaminated and replace it.

Maintaining sterility is a team effort, and every small action helps protect our patients and support better outcomes. 💙

Happy National Relaxation Day! 💙 Every day, vascular and interventional radiologic technologists are there when patients need them most—bringing skill, focus, compassion, and calm to every procedure.

Whether it's stepping outside for a few minutes, spending time with loved ones, enjoying a favorite hobby, or simply taking a well-deserved break, make time to recharge. Finding balance isn't a luxury—it's essential to your well-being and your ability to continue providing exceptional patient care. You spend your days caring for others. Today, take a moment to care for yourself. Happy National Relaxation Day from AVIR! 💙

🛡️ IR Tech Tip Tuesday: Protect Yourself While Protecting Your Patients

Every day, vascular and interventional radiologic technologists put patient care first. But protecting yourself from occupational radiation exposure is just as important as protecting those in your care.

Simple habits can make a big difference:
✔️ Wear properly fitted lead protection.
✔️ Use ceiling-suspended shields whenever possible.
✔️ Monitor your radiation badge consistently.

Your knowledge, skill, and dedication make a lasting impact—but your health matters, too. Prioritizing radiation safety today helps ensure a long, healthy, and successful career caring for patients tomorrow.

Stay safe. Stay protected. Thank you for all you do.
