Revolutionizing Radiation Protection for X-ray Guided Procedures

13. des.

An innovative, cost-effective, and user-friendly x-ray shielding solution for optimal operator protection.

Background

Radiation protection is a critical concern in medical procedures, particularly for interventional cardiologists and other clinicians performing high-exposure procedures. Our product, ExRayMat, offers a simple, flexible, and reusable solution that combines lead-equivalent shielding with a single-use sterile cover to provide effective radiation protection without compromising workflow or procedural quality.

Key Features and Benefits

Optimal Protection and Access: Ensures comprehensive radiation shielding while maintaining clear visualization and easy access to the patient.

Workflow-Friendly Design: Integrates seamlessly with existing protection setups or functions as a standalone solution without disrupting clinical workflows.

Cost-Effective and Sustainable: A reusable design coupled with low-cost single-use sterile covers makes it an environmentally friendly and economical alternative.

Clinically Tested: Validated in over 100 clinical procedures, demonstrating efficacy sufficient to replace traditional PPE in cardiac catheterization settings.

Clinical Validation and Feedback

The ExRayMat prototype has undergone extensive clinical testing:

Over 100 procedures performed by 10 operators, showing excellent protection while maintaining procedural quality and logistics.

Published clinical study (Dec 2023) confirms its effectiveness and user satisfaction.

All participating operators stated they would integrate ExRayMat into their daily clinical routines.

Opportunity

ExRayMat represents a breakthrough in radiation protection, addressing both clinical and logistical challenges faced by healthcare professionals. With its strong clinical validation, user endorsement, and sustainable design, it offers a transformative opportunity for adoption across medical fields requiring radiation safety. The granted European Patent secures its innovative edge and market potential. We’re actively looking for partners interested in bringing the technology to market.
