Lead sleeves

[rocsux]

Anyone have any experiences with these? Are they heavy? Do they hinder movement? Thanks in advance!

Why?

 

[Nodolor]

Doesn't want his underarm hair to fall out

 

[Ducttape]

yes. why.

is it to prevent arm cancer? the incidence of sarcoma in the upper extremities is pretty darn low

 

[Ferrismonk]

Why?

Not myself, but during my DRG training the guy recommended a left arm lead sleeve due to how much time he spent doing live flouro while manipulating the wire.

 

[Ducttape]

ugh... another reason not to learn DRG. how much radiation exposure is a typical trial?

Let him improve his technique. Would never wear any more lead than necessary. Gloves = increased radiation. Sleeve = impaired mobility.

Anyone seen these weightless exoskeletons in person? Probably ridiculously expensive but maybe hospital will buy?

Seems I'm ignorant. Care to explain the gloves = increased radiation bit?

Only if you flouro while your hand is in the beam. The C-arm will compensate for increased density by increasing Xray delivery. Radiation gloves themselves are fine, just don't fluoro your hand.

Exactly. X rat gloves still reduce scatter radiation to your hands for cases with heavy live fluoro.

I wear them for all SCS cases but I don’t put my hands in the beam.

I like this...curious as well. Wonder what the cost is

Sorry if I'm ridiculous, but has anyone used the Extra large thyroid collar?

 

[Laryngospasm]

Looks like all of that area would be covered by regular thyroid shield and vest

 

[SSdoc33]

this is what i use for my flouro injections:

is that what they put on pain doctors after their balls get removed by admin so they don’t lick their stitches?

 

[Ducttape]

how i plan on doing injections in the future:

My rad tech rolled in with this the other day.

The nerd in me wonders what the imaging of that spine looks like and if there are Any Neuro findings.

Granted are not using the sames does as IR or cardiac; is anyone using the bed skirt or the movable transparent thing they use?

I saw it during residency. One of our vascular surgeons would use it during EVARs. Kinda silly I think

Bed skirt definitely.
