From Clinician Request to an Adept Solution

In 2017, Adept Medical’s design team attended Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) meetings in the United States. After noting that Adept Medical had developed the , doctors and nursing teams expressed the need for a dedicated solution for patient positioning within the interventional space that could:

• Safely lift one or two arms from an adducted position
• Avoid extreme shoulder flexion
• Accommodate a wide range of patient sizes and shapes
• Integrate with existing labs and imaging systems
• Avoid image artefacts and magnetic hazards
• Be quick, simple, and intuitive to use

At the time, no purpose built device addressed these combined requirements. Adept Medical’s experienced designers collaborated with clinicians for ideas and feedback to build a practical, clinician driven solution that fulfilled these needs…

The Prone Support provides stable positioning during C-arm image-guided procedures. Cushioned face and arm surfaces offer space for visibility and comfortable breathing, while a cantilevered arm platform accommodates a wide range of patient sizes and mobility needs. The removable head support allows the device to be adapted for different procedural setups..

Derriford Hospital has introduced the Prone Support into its interventional suite to improve comfort and positioning for patients undergoing prone, image-guided procedures. Implemented as a quality improvement initiative, the support allows adjustable face and arm positioning to suit a range of patient and procedural needs.

Space, preference, or both?

The Retrograde IR Platform range includes two configurations designed to support arterial access in image-guided procedures.

Retrograde IR Platform + Extension (AM0420):
Broad surface providing space for procedural equipment. For added length when using longer equipment, an optional extension can be used.

Retrograde IR Platform – Narrow (AM0450):
Slimmer surface designed to keep clear of rear-mounted equipment, well suited to compact work areas.

Clinical evidence shows up to 30% less radiation exposure with overhead arm positioning

Why arm positioning matters?

RAD Magazine has published a feature exploring how arm positioning can make a meaningful difference during F/BEVAR procedures, improving imaging and helping reduce radiation dose for both patients and clinical teams.

A recent pilot study published in Interventional Neuroradiology (Lam et al., 2025) evaluated the use of the Adept Medical Radiolucent Head Immobiliser during neurointerventional procedures.

The study observed reduced fluoroscopy times without differences in image quality or radiation exposure.

We have updated and improved the handle design across the STARSystem and IR System.

The new handle replaces the previous hex-bolt setup with a thumb-screw wrist pivot and wrist pivot cone, allowing for tool-free adjustment and a lockable position during procedures.

With a focus on ideal positioning and patient comfort, the IR System is purpose-built for left-side radial access in interventional radiology.

The STARBoard positions the wrist for quick access, then rotates for comfort during longer cases. With a guidewire support tray for smooth transitions and a radiolucent, lightweight design, it supports clear imaging and a better patient experience.

At Adept Medical, testing isn’t just a box to tick, it’s how we make sure every product performs where it matters most... the imaging lab.

From imaging checks using C-Arms to specialist reviews by the clinicians who use them, our usability testing ensures each accessory delivers clear imaging, reliable function, and comfort for patients.

Sometimes, it’s the small details tested here, that can make the biggest difference in practice.

Here’s one of our prototypes on the C-Arm.

With a focus on secure positioning and patient comfort, the STARSystem is designed to optimise radial access during interventional procedures.

The STARBoard positions the wrist for quick distal or proximal access, then rotates into a more natural position once access is achieved, reducing strain during longer cases. A gel arm pad made from viscoelastic foam provides added comfort and improved radiolucency compared to standard pads, supporting clear imaging and a more comfortable experience for the patient throughout the procedure.
