An adjustable sterile lead apron for radiation protection during angiography.
A simple sterile lead apron can be mounted directly on any vertical-beam image-intensifier housing and readjusted by the angiographer to shield himself from scatter during fluoroscopy and cineangiocardiography, even if the image intensifier is titled in the longitudinal plane. Properly placed, the apron effectively reduces exposed due to scatter.
