“Using the EggNest drops the amount of scatter radiation for the interventional team by over 90%, making it a much safer environment. Once it is set up, it is easy to use and easy to add on to any room.”

Dr. M. Nicholas Burke, MD

Minneapolis Heart Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Minneapolis, MN (Cath Lab Digest Feb. 2020)

“We were one of the first sites in the U.S. to use the EggNest. With the EggNest, the patient is really in kind of cradle that allows protection for not only the physician, but for the entire staff. Most operators won’t notice it is even on the table.”

Dr. Vamsi Krishna, MD

Director Cardiac Cath Lab, Seton Hays Medical Center, Kyle,Texas (Cath Lab Digest March 2021)

“The EggNest provides our entire interventional team with scatter radiation protection without workflow compromise. The system is a winner for our staff and for Atrium Health.”
