The slit-opening radiation protection drape provides excellent radiation shielding during all procedures involving access through the radial or brachial arteries. During these procedures, the primary radiation-emitting area is the patient's chest.

The radiation protection drape reduces the dose to the surgeon's hands, body, and head (lens dose) by more than 80%. This has been shown by studies (Hartwell et al., 2005). If you are interested in these studies, we would be happy to send them to you.
