Cardiac Catheterization SorbX® Shields
SorbX® shields are designed to provide up to 95% scatter radiation attenuation during fluoroscopic cardiac catheterization procedures, with configurations built around the access point and procedural field.

Designed for Cardiac Cath Procedures
Cardiac catheterization can involve femoral, radial, peripheral, and other access depending on the procedure. Our SorbX® shields are designed around those different approaches to help position attenuation between the source of scatter radiation and the clinician while maintaining the access needed to perform the procedure.
Choose from one of our existing designs or work directly with our team to create a custom shield for your procedure.
Why Choose Our Cardiac Catheterization SorbX® Shields?
Procedure-Specific Designs
Shield dimensions, access openings, and positioning are designed around the procedure to help provide protection without unnecessarily restricting the procedural field.
Multiple Access Options
Femoral, radial, peripheral, and multi-purpose configurations give your team options for different cardiac catheterization approaches.
Three Attenuation Levels
SorbX® is available in three tested attenuation levels at 90 kVp: 75%, 90%, and 95%, allowing facilities to select an option based on their procedural needs.
Lightweight & Flexible
SorbX® material is lightweight for easier handling and flexible enough to contour around the patient or be repositioned when necessary.
Highly Absorbent
The outer material provides fluid absorption and containment in addition to scatter radiation attenuation.
Sterile, Disposable & Lead-Free
SorbX® shields are supplied sterile and disposable and use lead-free attenuating materials.
Femoral Entry / Angiography Shield
Designed for fluoroscopic procedures using femoral artery access, this 13" × 16" SorbX® shield features a small circular fenestration sized for catheter placement while maintaining protection around the procedural area. Applications include coronary angiograms, stent placement, angioplasty, and heart biopsies.

Radial Access Shield
Designed for right-arm radial arterial access, this SorbX® configuration provides a procedure-specific option for cardiac catheterization when radial access is preferred over femoral access.
SX8170 • SX8270 • SX8370
Peripheral Shield
Designed around leg entry for peripheral vascular procedures, the Peripheral SorbX® Shield can be used for applications including peripheral angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy, and procedures associated with peripheral vascular or arterial disease.

Multi-Purpose Shield
For procedures where a more specialized configuration is not required, the Multi-Purpose SorbX® Shield provides a flexible option that can be positioned around a variety of access points and fluoroscopic procedures.

Need Something Different
If one of our existing SorbX® shields does not fit your procedure, we can work directly with your team to develop a custom configuration.
Overall dimensions, fenestration size and placement, outer covering, and attenuation level can be customized, and SorbX® protection can also be incorporated directly into a full-length patient drape or procedure pack.
