99% dose reduction. 20x more protection. Zero lead.

Welcome to the Lead-Free Zone. #VEITHsymposium

[@PatrickMuckMD @patrickmuckmd]

If you are working in this interventional space it’s time to pay attention to radiation mitigation for yourself and your team. The new barrier protection systems from @RAMPARTic are game changers. @VascularSVS @SIRspecialists @ESVSmembership @VEITHsymposium

[RAMPART @RAMPARTic]

@patrickmuckmd and his team recorded only 0.2 mRem using the RAMPART Guardian in an EVAR case — about 15× less than the 3 mRem when using only traditional shields + lead aprons.

Congratulations, @patrickmuckmd, @Emily_D_Austin, and the @TriHealth team! First use of our next-generation shielding #Guardian by vascular surgeons in the world! Amazing protection on both sides of the table, for everyone in the room.

#TotalBodyTotalTeamProtection #Rampart #RadiationSafety #EVAR

[@PatrickMuckMD @patrickmuckmd]

#EVAR + @Medtronic #anchors + @RAMPARTic #Guardian = only 0.2 mRem! @Emily_D_Austin could do 10 EVARs &amp; still receive less ☢️ than 1 coast to coast flight! Total body, total team protection on both sides of the table!

[RAMPART @RAMPARTic]

First EVAR using our Guardian Mobile Shielding System at @TriHealth!

With &gt;99% radiation attenuation, Guardian sets a new standard: Total Body, Total Team protection.

👏 Congrats @patrickmuckmd, @Emily_D_Austin &amp; team! #RadiationSafety #Innovation

[RAMPART @RAMPARTic]

Radiation safety should be grounded in data—not tradition.

Rampart, backed by 2 RCTs + real-world evidence, delivers 20x more protection than lead aprons—covering the whole body and reducing orthopedic strain.

It’s time to #ShedTheLead and trust protection proven by data.

Late Breaking Clinical Data #AMP2025: Rampart system delivers +99% full-body protection + lead-free comfort.

Traditional Lead Aprons = 60–70% coverage.

Heavy lead = &gt;60% ortho injury risk.

Radiation ↓
Injury risk ↓
Performance ✅

“I enjoy the lack of back pain from wearing my lead all day… being able to move, bend, adjust equipment—without my back or legs killing me.” – Laurisa Varela, RCIS

Rampart helps you move freely and safely—without the weight or the pain.

“I enjoy that it protects the entire team. It isn't just the physician awareness. But it's the staff at the table. It's the staff behind the shielding. And there's really a whole team approach and focus on the radiation safety. “ - Brittney Meckley, Manager of Invasive Cardiology, @WellSpan Health.

Rampart isn’t just about shielding one person, it’s about creating a culture of protection for everyone in the lab. From techs to nurses to physicians, it’s time to shed the lead and elevate safety together.

"The future of radiation protection depends on evidence-based solutions. And as with anything else in our field, the data should lead."
@kalazizimd
In the @cardiacinterv Supplement, Dr. Al-Azizi makes a compelling case for why clinical data should drive decisions in radiation safety.

Read “Confidence in the Data” and see how real world evidence is shaping the future of interventional protection.

[RAMPART @RAMPARTic]

Radiation and orthopedic safety remain critical concerns in interventional cardiology—and the latest supplement from Cardiac Interventions Today offers timely insight into this evolving conversation.

We’re proud to contribute original perspectives from healthcare professionals on:
• Gaps in current radiation protection standards
• Real-world data demonstrating Rampart’s 99%+ attenuation
• The path forward: Total Team protection without the need for lead aprons

If your team works under radiation, this supplement is worth your time.

Thank you to Dr. Sahil Parikh (@sahilparikhmd ) , Dr. Karim Al-Azizi (@kalazizimd ) Brittney Meckley, and Lancer Smith (@smith_lancer )!
