Medical personnel performing interventional procedures in cathlabs are exposed almost daily to high doses of X-rays, which significantly exceed other known occupational exposures. For example, an interventional physician’s annual exposure is 3mSv, while that of a nuclear power plant worker is approximately 1.23mSv per year. A growing body of evidence points to an association of X-ray radiation with a number of negative health effects among healthcare professionals, despite the use of standard shields. The most common diseases related to the performance of X-ray radiation procedures include cataracts, tumors, brain tumors, skin lesions, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases. Also, cardiovascular diseases and reported impairment of reproductive capacity may be associated with chronic exposure to low radiation doses. An integrated work platform built on a carbon fiber sled base designed to drastically reduce scatter radiation exposure without disrupting workflow.

The tests have shown that the EggNest System reduces scatter radiation by up to 91% *. The EggNest Protection System is ISO13485 certified, and the CE mark certification is expected in the second quarter of 2021. We offer you to order a trial installation in advance and to perform X-ray measurements in your cathlab using the certified measuring devices provided (if necessary) by mTree.
