Designed by interventionalists - for interventionalists.
From its ability to protect multiple people and provide multiple vascular access points, to its compact design and portability, Rampart was built specifically for interventionalists and cath labs. And while lead apron-free radiation protection was the driving force behind its invention, it was the needs of interventionalists and their techs that drove its innovation.
One device. Multiple access points.
With its independently adjustable panels, Rampart gives interventionalists multiple vascular access points, including bi-lateral radial, bi-lateral femoral, and bi-lateral pedal. Additionally, Rampart’s flexible panel design could potentially accommodate new procedures in the future.

Rampart’s Key Features:
Utilizing Rampart’s innovative design and proprietary technology, interventionalists now have a new way to work. One with freedom and mobility, and protection for the doctor and their team. And one that allows the physician to work without the need for potentially injury-inducing, and career-shortening, lead aprons. In short, Rampart grants interventionalists and their team the ability to do what they do
best, in a safe and team focused environment.
01. Fully adjustable and motorized lead equivalent acrylic panels can be configured to accommodate the access point, and the heights and widths of the doctor, technician, and patient.
02. Easy adjustments allow for multiple vascular access positions, including bi-lateral radial, bi-lateral femoral, and bi-lateral pedal.
03. Sturdy base mounted on lockable, smooth-rolling, industrial casters for efficiencies in emergent situations, quick setup, convenient storage, and an overall small cath lab footprint.
04. Sterile drape kit includes 5 separate drapes, designed and easily labeled, for fast and easy set up and cleaning.
Data Matters
When we say “Shed The Lead” we mean it, because we have both real-world and randomized contolled trial data to support it. #DataMatters
Randomized Controlled Trial showing the Rampart Defender demonstrated GREATER THAN 99% Full Body Attenuation, resulting in 20X MORE PROTECTION than traditional lead aprons and shields. [source]
The combination of Rampart shielding showed overall reduced occupational radiation exposure rates compared to conventional shielding methods, including the use of 0.5mm lead aprons. [source]
In approximately 1700 real-world cases, Rampart demonstrated greater than 99% reduction in total radiation dose across a wide variety of interventional procedures. [Rampart data on file]
