Why departments choose SatPro

Dose, hygiene and turnover, handled by one product

Under IRR17, every employer must keep staff exposure as low as reasonably practicable. SatPro adds a layer of protection right at the source of scatter, without adding steps to your set-up.

Less scatter for the team

Phantom testing shows an average 29% reduction in scattered dose, adding protection for operators, nurses and radiographers in the room.

Faster room turnover

Draping and shielding go on in one step and come off in one step. Nothing to wipe down, store or inspect between cases.

Lead-free and single-use

No reusable shields to decontaminate and no lead waste at disposal. Used covers go straight into the standard clinical waste stream.

Features & benefits

Built for busy theatres and labs

SatPro is designed to go on quickly, stay put during movement and keep fluids off expensive equipment, without getting in the way of imaging.
