The unique wing design can support one or both arms and can be used with a variety of patient sizes. The Overhead Arm Support facilitates patient comfort, procedural outcomes, and repeatability. The Overhead Arm Support can be used with a variety of patient sizes and for an array of procedural requirements. The unique wing design can support one or both arms in supine and posterior oblique positions. It is height-adjustable and can be set to an optimum position using a one-handed lever locking mechanism. Soft, pliable, latex-free polyurethane straps may be used for additional patient safety and comfort, and the support will accommodate a patient under general anaesthesia for the entire procedure, or those who may fall asleep.

An ideal work surface for antegrade femoral approach. The Antegrade IR Platform offers a stable, radiolucent, height and length appropriate work surface, providing clinical benefits to the current practice of laying procedural equipment on the mattress and patient. It is the ultimate solution for catheter/guide wire manipulation, presenting a large surface area conveniently aligned with the femoral artery site for supporting equipment during a procedure.

Versatile sterile drape management. Designed to support a sterile drape over the patient, the extremely versatile Drape Support offers a wide range of imaging table placement options. With two articulating joints, it can be easily manoeuvred to suit procedural and patient requirements. Set up is achieved in seconds as the daggerboard slides under the mattress at a convenient position. The clear support surface can then be manipulated and locked at the desired position. The adjustable surface is ideal for supporting lightweight equipment such as syringes, kidney bowls, etc. It is transparent for patient comfort, helping to reduce anxiety. Clinically tested, it can be used in numerous interventional radiology and cardiology procedures such as antegrade femoral artery access, jugular artery access, transcutaneous pacing, portacath insertion or as an anaesthesia screen. The Drape Support is crafted entirely from radiolucent, high-performance engineering plastics for superior rigidity, durability and resistance to chemical attack. The Drape Support is lightweight and compact taking up minimal space around the imaging table and even less when folded for storage.

The ideal system for arm immobilisation, protecting the sterile field with the added benefit of reducing scatter radiation. ARMSURE SUPPORT The ArmSure is particularly useful in the increasing number of procedures performed under conscious sedation where patient restlessness can be an issue. The ArmSure prevents the patient from compromising the sterile femoral access site while presenting the forearm for IV lines, anaesthesia, etc., throughout the procedure. X-RAY SHIELD The Shield slots into the Arm Support and can be simply adjusted to the optimum position for operator protection from scatter radiation. The 0.5mm lead (Pb) sheet encapsulated in the vertical shield reduces operator zone X-Ray scatter radiation. Testing was performed with C-arm head position at PA (0°). Results show dose with and without the Shield in place. ARM STRAPS The ArmSure system gently secures both arms of a supine patient in a comfortable adducted position with soft, easy to install, adjustable straps. The unique design allows the straps to be loose while maintaining arm security and patient comfort.
