MINNEAPOLIS, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Egg Medical, a global leader in radiation protection, announced its alignment with the landmark expert consensus statement published in JSCAI. This historic document declares that traditional reliance on heavy lead aprons is no longer an acceptable standard, calling for urgent changes to protect clinical staff. Earlier this year, SCAI launched its ALARA+ initiative to update the interpretations of federal ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable) regulations. With modern ERPDs, what is considered reasonable must evolve.

“For decades, the interventional community has accepted the risks of cancer, cataracts and orthopedic injury as inevitable consequences of an interventional career. I, like many others, paid the toll for wearing heavy, protective lead aprons over the years. These very real and dangerous risks must no longer be ignored,” said Dr. Dean Kereiakes, co-author of the consensus statement and Chairman of The Christ Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute. “This multi-society consensus statement presents a mandate that with the availability of ERPDs such as EggNest Complete, workplace safety is no longer an option, but instead, a moral imperative going forward.”
