Barrier BrainSAVER

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the high radiation exposure levels faced by interventional cardiologists, particularly on the left side of the head, during fluoroscopically guided invasive cardiovascular procedures. It introduces BrainSAVER, a protective product designed to mitigate these risks.

Radiation Exposure Findings
Interventional cardiologists receive radiation exposure levels 16 times higher than ambient levels on the left side of the head, with exposure 4.7 times higher than on the right side. This is due to their positioning during procedures.
