Biotronik, Egg Medical Partner to Protect Healthcare Workers from Radiation

Biotronik and Egg Medical announced that they have partnered to co-sell Egg Medical’s EggNest radiation protection systems for U.S. healthcare workers.

EggNest radiation protection systems (EggNest XR, EggNest Protect, and EggNest Complete) can be used in a variety of fluoroscopy procedure types without impacting workflow, according to the company. The systems are touted as the only un the U.S. to protect everyone in the interventional suite.

Radiation reductions of up to 97% are possible with EggNest XR and EggNest Protect, and up to 99% reductions are possible with EggNest Complete.

“Partnering with companies like Egg Medical in the radiation protection space allows BIOTRONIK to bring our vision of ‘Excellence for Life’ to healthcare professionals as well as their patients.  These products will allow us to bring a safer environment to every member of the EP lab, Cath lab, and other procedure suites,” said Matt Roberts, VP, National and Corporate Accounts at Biotronik.

“We are thrilled to partner with Biotronik, who has been focused on providing radiation protection to their customers for many years. This partnership expands our ability to provide protection for everyone in the procedure room across the U.S.,” added Gavin Philipps, chief commercial officer at Egg Medical.

Yesterday, Biotronik announced it had enrolled the first patient in the second arm of the BIO-CONDUCT study, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved investigational device exemption (IDE) trial examining the use of the company’s investigational next-generation Solia CSP S pacing lead when implanted in the left bundle branch area (LBBA).
