Radioprotective Light-weight Caps in the Interventional Cardiology Setting: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 0.5mm XPF cap, 0.3mm XPF cap, and 1 other intervention for Occupational Exposure to Radiation. Completed, enrolled 197 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective of the present trial is to compare the radiation attenuation provided by XPF caps (0.5mm lead-equivalent and 0.3mm lead-equivalent) to the standard protection (fabric cap, basically no protection) as measured in % radiation attenuation) during 150 days of fluoroscopy guided cardiology interventions. The second objective is to compare the operator comfort (rated on a visual analog scale) of wearing the XPF protection caps compared to the standard fabric caps.

Interventions
Interventionalist wear a XPF 0.5mm lead equivalent cap during fluoroscopy guided interventions. XPF is a trademark of BloXR (Salt lake City, UT) for a new bi-layer (Barium/Bismuth) radiation attenuation material.
Interventionalist wear a XPF 0.3mm lead equivalent cap during fluoroscopy guided interventions. XPF is a trademark of BloXR (Salt lake City, UT) for a new bi-layer (Barium/Bismuth) radiation attenuation material.
Interventionalist wear a standard fabric cap during fluoroscopy guided interventions.
