Patent number: 10950359Abstract: A radiation shield is adapted to be disposed transversely across a subject supported on the surface of a procedure table to protect medical professionals working in front of the radiation shield from radiation being applied to the subject behind the radiation shield. The radiation shield includes a movable barrier positional to extend transversely across a subject supported on the surface of a procedure table. The barrier has a generally vertically-oriented lower section; a generally forwardly sloping intermediate section; and a generally vertically-oriented upper section, forwardly offset from the plane of the lower section. A side section extends outwardly and rearwardly from one side of the lower, intermediate, and upper sections of the barrier.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Eco Cath-Lab Systems, Inc.Inventors: James A. Goldstein, Remo J. Rossi, Kirk R. Dembek

Patent number: 8716687Abstract: Systems and methods for shielding medical personnel from radiation are provided. A radiation-shielding barrier is positioned between the medical personnel and the radiation source. The radiation-shielding barrier includes an opening such that a portion of the table extends through the opening in the barrier. Medical personnel are protected from secondary radiation transmitted through the patient via a special layering technique of a first, flexible sterile drape, a flexible radiation-resistive drape, and a second flexible sterile drape. The system includes an upper shield and a lower shield of independent movement and a linking mechanism between the two, while maintaining the radiation seal. The system also includes a mechanism for maintaining the radiation barrier between the upper shield and the patient aperture hoop, preventing a radiation gap from forming between the flexible portions of the system (e.g. flexible drapes, curtains, etc.) and the non-flexible portions of the system (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Eco Cath-Lab Systems, Inc.Inventors: James Goldstein, Mark A Fox

Patent number: 7391042Abstract: A method of using a radiation protection system including a table having a top surface for supporting a patient, a radiation-shielding screen attached to the table for covering a portion of the patient and a portion of the top surface of the table, and controls for controlling the system. The radiation-shielding screen includes at least one port. The method includes extending the radiation-shielding screen over a portion of the patient the table and accessing the controls through the port. The method further includes controlling the system using the controls.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: ECO Cath-Lab Systems, Inc.Inventor: James A. Goldstein

Patent number: 7057194Abstract: A radiation barrier for shielding a person from radiation emitted from a radiation source. The barrier includes a radiopaque wall extending between opposite lateral edges, wherein the wall is positionable between the radiation source and the person to prevent radiation from traveling directly between the radiation source and the person, and a radiopaque deflector extending from the wall and obliquely angled relative to the wall.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2004Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: ECO Cath-Lab Systems, Inc.Inventor: James A. Goldstein
