Why the study?
Does RADPAD reduce radiation exposure to the operator's hand during CRT device implantation?
Does RADPAD reduce radiation exposure to the operator's hand during CRT device implantation?
The use of RADPAD during CRT implantation reduces operator hand radiation exposure by 54%, potentially allowing high-volume operators to perform more procedures safely.
