Cath Lab

Floor-Mounted or Ceiling-Mounted: What’s Best for You?

One of the first steps in selecting a cath lab system is deciding between floor-mounted and ceiling-mounted options. If you already have a cath lab in place, consider the following:

• Ceiling-Mounted Systems: While these may require more extensive structural preparations, they can maximize your floor space, providing a more open and efficient work area.
• Floor-Mounted Systems: These are typically easier to install and require less preparation, making them a fantastic choice for facilities without an existing lab.

The types of procedures you plan to conduct will shape your choice of cath lab system, especially regarding detector size.

A 20 cm detector is perfect for neurological and cardiac studies. A versatile 30 cm detector is ideal for vascular studies, as it easily supports this type of examination. Moreover, a larger 40 cm detector ensures the highest imaging quality for angiographic procedures.

Single-Plane vs. Bi-Plane Cath Lab Systems: Let’s Help You with Making the Right Choice

It is essential to grasp the differences between single-plane and bi-plane cath lab systems. Single-plane systems are popular for general surgeries and excellent options for stent placements and balloon procedures. Bi-plane systems, with dual X-ray sources and detectors, provide rapid 3D imaging, making them perfect for challenging neurovascular studies.

By thoughtfully considering these factors, you can confidently select the most suitable cath lab system to elevate your medical facility, ensuring you provide the best possible care. Let’s embrace this opportunity for growth together!
