Barnes-Jewish Hospital is set to conduct the initial live case using the EggNest Complete Flex system.
Barnes-Jewish Hospital interventional and structural cardiology section chief Dr Jasvindar Singh said: “We are excited to be the first to use this novel technology in a live case and believe it is important to adopt solutions that protect everyone.”
According to Egg Medical, EggNest distinguishes itself from ceiling-mounted radiation shielding systems by eliminating the need for construction, structural changes, or permitting, which typically result in operating room closures and additional costs for health systems.
The company claims that its solution helps keep labs operational during installation, allowing hospitals to avoid revenue loss associated with downtime.
Egg Medical chief commercial officer Gavin Philipps said: “Healthcare systems have been forced to choose between clinician safety, operational disruption, and significant capital investment. Now hospitals can protect their team without shutting down rooms for multiple days or spending hundreds of thousands on construction.”
Egg Medical also reports increasing pressure on health systems to address occupational hazards and staff retention while maintaining the number of procedures performed.
The EggNest system is currently used in 15 locations across the US, with an additional 80 expected to be installed by the end of the second quarter.
