Remote hydraulic syringe actuator: its use to avoid radiation exposure during intraoperative arteriography.
A simple, inexpensive device consisting of a double hydraulic syringe system and a holding fixture was devised for intraoperative arteriography to avoid exposure of personnel to radiation. The procedure of intraoperative angiography has thus become safer, less time consuming, and more reliable in obtaining high-quality angiographic studies.
