The conversation around occupational strain in IR is finally starting to shift.
A recent article highlighted research suggesting thinner radiation protection aprons may help reduce musculoskeletal risk for interventional radiology staff without compromising protection.
At Egg Medical, we believe the future of radiation protection should support both clinician safety and clinician longevity—which is why we continue to focus on solutions like ultralight .125 lead options designed for real-world workflows in the lab.
Radiation safety is only part of the equation. Long-term orthopedic strain, fatigue, and career sustainability deserve attention, too.
