Problem
Healthcare providers performing fluoroscopic procedures are exposed to scatter radiation, and traditional lead aprons cause significant shoulder, neck, and back strain, leading to musculoskeletal injuries and increased occupational risk.
Solution
The company offers a suite of radiation protection solutions designed to reduce scatter exposure for the entire interventional team while alleviating the ergonomic burden of heavy lead aprons. The AeroShield™ system combines an inflatable table‑mounted lower shield with an upper OptiShield™ barrier to create a continuous, passive scatter shield that works across all imaging angles without interrupting workflow. The GLiFT™ system features a patented endoskeleton that transfers apron weight to the pelvic rim, supported by memory‑foam padding and breathable mesh, providing ergonomic support and reducing musculoskeletal strain. Complementary tools such as the PeRM personal dosimeter app deliver real‑time exposure monitoring, and the Salus Lab service program manages garment inventory, maintenance, and compliance through a subscription model, further streamlining radiation safety operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are interventional cardiology, radiology, and electrophysiology departments—physicians, nurses, technologists, and support staff who perform fluoroscopy‑guided procedures in hospitals and outpatient clinics.
Features
- AeroShield™ inflatable lower shield with low‑profile design (38 lb) that inflates quickly and integrates with existing boom‑arm hanging shields
- OptiShield™ full‑coverage upper barrier providing whole‑team scatter protection across steep gantry angulations
- Clinically validated dose reductions of 80‑95 % for operators, scrub techs, nurses, and circulators with no impact on workflow
- GLiFT™ endoskeleton constructed from billet aluminum and thermoformed plastic, redistributing lead apron weight to the pelvic bone
