RADPAD® Radiation Protection
Advanced Scatter Radiation Protection for Interventional Environments
RADPAD® has pioneered lead-free radiation protection for healthcare professionals since 1996. Their innovative shields deliver clinically proven scatter radiation reduction of up to 95% across interventional cardiology, radiology, and electrophysiology procedures.
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.
APC Cardiovascular supplies the complete range of RADPAD® products throughout the UK.
