Product overviewThe shielding setup provides protection against scattered radiation for the examiner and assistant in interventional cardiology. The Connect & Protect concept allows flexible adaptation to room and procedure requirements through a detachable intermediate curtain.
- Up to 98% reduction in scattered radiation (in combination with lower body protection and patient drapes)
- Reduced weight of protective clothing due to lower lead equivalent
- Connecting curtain and lamellas (PFC-free) for continuous protection
- Easy integration into existing infrastructure
- Suitable for femoral and radial access
Image-Safely setupThis product is part of the Image-Safely system, designed to expand the protection zone and enable the use of protective clothing with lower lead equivalent. The flexible panel curtain lies flush to the patient’s body when positioned and closes the gap between shield and patient, reducing scattered radiation from below.
Connect & Protect featureThe central element is the OT58001 lead acrylic radiation protection shield. A connecting curtain with a lead equivalent of 0.50 mm Pb links two shields seamlessly to create an extended protection zone against scattered radiation. Shields can be separated quickly when a single-shield setup is required.
Key benefits- No underpassing radiation: the flexible panel curtain closes the gap to the patient’s body and reduces radiation from below.
- Freedom of movement: enlarged shield dimensions provide additional protection and allow staff mobility without increasing dose when positions change.
- Radiation protective drapes further expand the protection zone and can reduce exposure by an additional 30–40% compared with the panel alone.
- Optimal shielding for tall examiners: increased shield height protects head and eye lenses for operators up to about 195 cm.
