Experts across medical societies agree: We must #FightTheGoodFight for superior radiation protection. Clinicians have endured the physical burden of wearing lead for long enough. Lead aprons pose significant risks to all members of the fluoroscopy lab team and only protect the human torso on which they are worn. Entire regions of the human body—head, arms, legs, and feet—are left exposed. These limitations in coverage can lead to the development of fatal cancers, as well as disabling spine and musculoskeletal conditions from the weight of lead. It's time for +99% attenuation shielding that empowers you to safely #ShedTheLead.

SCAI and eight other U.S. medical societies are advocating for urgent change—replace outdated, harmful PPE with radiation protection that's built into the environment. “The cath lab should be a workplace where clinicians can build a full career without sacrificing their health and where the next generation sees a future worth choosing,” SCAI President J. Dawn Abbott, MD, said in a statement. "Trainees are watching mentors leave the field with injuries and illness, and too many are choosing other specialties as a result. If we want a strong pipeline of interventional cardiologists to meet growing patient demand, we have to fix the work environment itself.” The ALARA+ (As Low and As Light As Reasonably Achievable) coalition has created a library of toolkits to help cath labs take practical steps toward change.

Clinicians often move around the room or stand on both sides of the patient, and the design of radiation shielding should account for that. However, one-sided head shields leave staff vulnerable and don't provide enough attenuation to safely #ShedTheLead of heavy aprons. @RAMPARTic shielding is intentionally designed with 1 mm bismuth acrylic shielding on both sides of the table, resulting in superior protection for the entire procedural team.

$CNVI.V $CNVIF Two imaging modalities, complementary insights to guide clinical decisions. 🩺 A @ccijournal case report shows the value of #Conavi's hybrid imaging system during a complex coronary procedure, allowing physicians to use: ➡️ #IVUS: vessel sizing and plaque assessment ➡️ #OCT: higher resolution to characterize the extent and depth of the dissections ➡️ Together: helped physicians identify proximal and distal edge dissections, as well as white thrombus, following stent placement 🔗 lnkd.in/gxH6uaqp

Incredible results! In this series, clinicians received less radiation behind the @Rampart Guardian than I will at the Alabama FSU game tomorrow!
Dr. Kody Kasten presented at #MVSS: Rampart's system delivered a statistically significant 98.4% reduction in operator radiation exposure during complex EVAR cases. Lead-free. Comprehensive protection. #ShedTheLead #Rampart #RadiationSafety #VascularSurgery

@RAMPARTic is headed to Nashville! We’re proud to sponsor the OPCI Clinical Mastery Summit on September 26, bringing together interventional cardiologists, fellows, nurses, and cath lab technologists for a focused day of practical education in contemporary coronary intervention. Tim Sangiuliano and Brandon Davis will be on-site representing Rampart — be sure to stop by our booth, meet the team, and learn more about the Rampart System and our lead-free approach to radiation protection. Fellows: OPCI is also offering special opportunities for attendees, including a Call for Cases and a $300 travel voucher for eligible fellows traveling more than two hours to attend. Booth assignments will be provided on-site, so keep an eye out for the Rampart team! #Rampart #OPCI #InterventionalCardiology #RadiationSafety #ShedTheLead #LeadFreeERPD

Lead aprons traditionally stop above the knee, leaving legs and feet vulnerable to scatter radiation. Do these areas deserve less protection? Our answer is no. We designed the @RAMPARTic Bunker to be a high-performance under-table radiation shield that significantly reduces exposure at the table level. Offering the only 1 mm LE abdominal shield protection for your abdomen and shielding all the way to the floor to protect where lead aprons neglect. Choose superior, adjustable protection on both sides of the patient table. Learn more about Bunker at rampart.com. #ShedTheLead #TotalBodyTotalTeamProtection #Rampart #LeadFreeERPD #RadiationSafety

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville (@sentuberville) toured the Rampart Operations Center as part of an Image Safely 360 event — a coalition of clinicians, manufacturers, and societies working to make radiation protection and ergonomic safety standard in fluoroscopy labs. He went hands-on with @RAMPARTic ERPDs, plus Radpad and Canon solutions.

OSHA's radiation standard for cath lab teams was written in 1971. Before the first coronary angioplasty. It has not been meaningfully updated since. In 2026, nine societies endorsed ALARA+. Regulation hasn't caught up. Join the movement: orsif.org #ORSIF

We're not okay with the pain interventionalists are experiencing. In the past 30 years, reported pain associated with wearing lead has skyrocketed to 62% for technicians and 66% of physicians. Worn for hours a day, a 5–15 lb lead apron puts pressure on the body that often leads to injury, absenteeism, corrective surgeries, long-term disability, and even shortened careers. It doesn't have to be this way. @RAMPARTic delivers +99% radiation attenuation without the weight of lead, protecting your whole team and your own spine.
