  • Patent number: 10643757
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for a shielding system for customized shielding of a patient or an operator from radiation. The shielding system is mounted on a rail of a table used for interventional medical procedures comprising a longitudinal rail edge. In use, the mounting apparatus is slidably engaged to a rail by mating a t-shaped groove to the rail. Extending from the mounting apparatus is one or more movable rods from which protective radio-opaque curtains are suspended.

  • Patent number: 10265037
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shielding system for customized shielding of a patient or an operator from X-rays generated across a patient-supporting table. The shielding system includes a foundational block which is mounted via a clamping mechanism on the patient-supporting table. The shielding system has a rail with proximal and distal sections. The proximal section of the rail is twistable within an aperture of the foundational block and is arcuately movable in relation to patient-supporting table. One or more protective curtains are suspended from the rail.

  • Patent number: 9867583
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shielding system for customized shielding of a patient or an operator from X-rays. The shielding system is mounted on a radiation table with a longitudinal edge. In use, the table is reversibly movable between a first (usually horizontal) orientation and a second (usually vertical orientation). Extending from the radiation table is a post that is associated with a patient handgrip subassembly. The subassembly has a bracket that is securably movable along the longitudinal edge. In the shielding system there are foundational blocks with apertures that receive movable rails from which protective curtains are suspended.
