We've had an outstanding launch at St. Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, CA with greater than 99.8% attenuation throughout the evaluation and launch. It's been a pleasure to work with Dr. Lakhjit Sandu and Jamescia (Cath Lab Manager), and we look forward to continuing to provide radiation and orthopedic protection to this fantastic team! #ProtectTheTeam #ShedTheLead #YouAreWorthIt

Radiation and orthopedic strain protection for interventional suite teams- eliminating the need for heavy lead aprons.
About us
Rampart provides whole body radiation protection for the entire team, so that cases in the cath lab and other interventional suites can be performed lead-free. continue to do what they do best, longer, safer, and more comfortable than ever before. Heavy lead aprons are no longer needed! The fully adjustable and portable Rampart M1128 system provides proven radiation protection in the cath lab for doctors AND their team members. This revolutionary technology not only provides freedom and ease of movement, but eliminates the physical orthopedic fatigue and wear and tear on the body caused by the aprons. Visit our website for ordering information or to learn more. Please feel free to encourage interventional cardiology professionals to follow this page.

The risks of radiation and orthopedic stress have historically steered many women away from interventional cardiology, which is why Women Treating High Risk Indicated Patients (WHiP) is an important initiative for us. Solving these issues to create a safer and more welcoming working environment for everyone has been Rampart's mission from day one. We are proud once again to sponsor the WHiP Pathfinder Live Case Event on August 26th. Use the link to register for a full day of broadcasting CHiP/CTO cases with live operators Dr. Rhian E. Davies, DO MS FACC FSCAI, Dr. Kathleen Kearney, and Dr. Margaret McEntegart. https://qrco.de/beyPVX ASAHI INTECC USA, Inc. Medical Sales #ProtectTheTeam #ShedTheLead #YouAreWorthIt #WomenInCardiology

Thank you to Cardiovascular Research Foundation for having Rampart Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Bob Foster speak at Interventional Complications 2024 on how to survive the physical pitfalls of the cath lab. Interventional physicians and team members who spend long hours providing care have traditionally faced the dual risks of radiation exposure and orthopedic stress from wearing protective lead. Since the emergence of technology like Rampart's (which provides over 99% attenuation allowing lead-free cases), there is no reason for these dangers to exist in a modern cath lab. #CompCourse2024 #ProtectTheTeam #ShedTheLead #YouAreWorthIt

When deciding how to best protect yourself from the dangers of radiation and orthopedic harms of wearing lead aprons, it’s critical to know that any potential solution is AT LEAST as effective as the standard. In a recent RCT published in JSCAI, the Rampart M1128 system was shown to provide 20X MORE total body protection than traditional lead aprons and shields.

Please join us in welcoming Sarah Lane RCIS to Rampart! Sarah brings 15 years of clinical experience as a Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist to the team. She’s worked in the cardiac cath and EP lab setting, and is a committee member with Cardiovascular Credentialing International. Sarah has also worked in the industry setting alongside cardiac and neuro-interventional KOLs as a Clinical Specialist with a prominent medical technology company. "I am extremely excited to join the RAMPART ic team. I believe that every clinical expert in the lab setting should be free from unnecessary radiation risks and orthopedic strain. Allowing professionals to do what they love without additional risks is a mission I’m proud to be a part of. I'm excited and eager to make a difference in the field and can’t wait to meet all of our clinical partners. Together, let’s SHED THE LEAD!"

Incomplete radiation protection and orthopedic injury from traditional lead aprons are huge problems and the MAIN REASON Rampart was founded. The Scattered Denial docu-series, now streaming and airing on PBS affiliates, accurately depicts the dangers faced by interventionalists and their teams from prolonged radiation exposure and wearing lead aprons. #RadiationSafety #ProtectTheTeam #ShedTheLead
For decades, and throughout the career of multiple generations of interventionalists, radiation safety best practices have revolved around the use of lead vests. Few realize that the advent of the lead vest dates back to the earliest days of X-ray experimentation, and that while they have improved in various ways, vests are still the embodiment of a technology and an idea that is over 100 years old. Our continued reliance on vests is not a case of "if it's not broke, don't fix it." To the contrary, vests have several glaring drawbacks that were always known to us. They provide no protection to the arms or legs. And, more worryingly, they provide no protection to the head and dubious protection to the neck. These shortcomings have led to countless cases of brain cancer and radiation-induced carotid stenosis, among other ailments. But the most common issue associated with vests is orthopedic injury caused by the weight of the vests themselves. These can range in severity from simple back pain to disabling conditions forcing physicians, techs, and nurses into retirement. Despite all these issues, the problem we face is not due to vests. Manufacturers of vests have never warranted that their products could protect the head and neck. They have never marketed an orthopedic injury-free product. We knew what we were getting, and to their credit many manufacturers have innovated to make their products lighter and better. No, the problem does not lie in vests, but in our overreliance upon them. For too long we accepted vests as adequate protection and let the problem lie. We accepted that a century-old technology would be the first and last line of radiation defense. We did not pay enough attention as orthopedic injuries skyrocketed. We did not see that our overreliance was keeping us from innovating and adopting new technologies. We did not use our imaginations and we balked at extra line items in the budget for radiation safety. No longer. This clip is from Episode 2 of Scattered Denial, which is now streaming on the film's website and YouTube, along with the rest of the film.

Thank you to ORSIF for shedding light on the difficult truths about occupational radiation. Far too many in this field have been affected or are close to someone who has been affected by radiation and/or the traditional means of radiation protection. As Dr. Hermiller said at SCAI, “it’s a Moral Imperative that we provide better protection.” Rampart stands with ORSIF and our fellow sponsors in prioritizing occupational radiation safety. #ProtectTheTeam #YouAreWorthIt
[ DAVID ] #IsNotHere Dr. David Foley, from Dublin Ireland, spent much of his career in the Thoraxcenter in Rotterdam and Beaumont Hospital in Ireland. He paved the way to develop complex CTO, and pioneered many interventional skills that the next generation is employing to this day. Dr. Foley died in 2021 of a left-sided brain tumor. Prof. James Spratt tells his story. See more stories: Is-Not-Here.com [ ] Is Not Here is a project honoring healthcare professionals tragically affected by occupational radiation. ORSIF and its members are committed to occupational radiation safety through education, resources, best practices, technology, and combining our voices to affect change.

“An absolute game-changer for anybody that wears lead for a living. In X-Ray school, we learned about reducing our dose. These guys cracked the code.” Corey Williamson R.T. (R), Lab technologist, Temple University Hospital It's been a privilege launching this week at Temple University Hospital with such a dedicated group of #HealthcareHeroes! Across a wide array of PCI, Structural and EP procedures, the Temple team was able to achieve GREATER THAN 99% attenuation in EVERY SINGLE CASE utilizing the Rampart system! Thanks for your dedication to the health and safety of your interventional teams! #ProtectTheTeam #ShedtheLead #YouAreWorthIt
