Stay Radial with StandTall™ and correct the ergonomic limitations of left radial access procedures. StandTall corrects operator posture, reducing shoulder and back musculoskeletal stresses while maintaining sterility and hand dominance. Leverage the advantages of left radial artery access with StandTall.
Combined with LASS (Left Arm Support System) StandTall is also one of the fastest ways to improve Cath Lab metrics by helping to increase the number of successful radial access procedures.
The many advantages of trans-radial PCI continue to expand. Hospitals are capitalizing on this trend by integrating radial access into their PCI programs, given the significant cost savings and patient preferences. While LRA approach offers significant clinical advantages, RRA has seemingly become the primary wrist access site of choice in recent years. Workflow and patient positioning advantages, as well as maintenance of physician right hand dominance likely, explains this preference in spite of several limitations of a right wrist approach.
Radux Devices believes the primary aversion to LRA conversion is related to the increased operator stress and higher early radiation exposure rates from leaning over the patient while working from the right side. Alternatively, the physician and staff can reposition room set up to the left side of the patient, requiring use of operators’ non-dominant hand for fine motor activity, a suboptimal setup. StandTall addresses and overcomes these challenges.
Using StandTall as part of the endovascular protocol will provide the physician with a more comfortable and stable workflow environment while reducing musculoskeletal stress and fatigue when conducting fluoroscopic procedures.

The lower mortality with radial approach for those with myocardial infarction has driven a surge in radial approach for vascular access.1 A 2018 American Heart Association Scientific Statement noted that for every 1000 patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), there were 10 fewer deaths...
Background: A focus on patient protection is a priority for all physicians when patients need to be treated using ionizing
radiation. Countless publications report on these risks. Aims: What about our intervention lists; they are exposed and work
tirelessly without concern for what they are enduring to care and protect their patient. How can we improve their longevity
and exposure? Methods: Discussions with Radux to modify the Stand Tall allowing use in pediatrics. Once approved these
were added to procedures at Children’s Wisconsin. Attachment to the sheath that were placed in the neck and or the groin
to evaluate. Results: Improved physician positioning and posture results in improved wellbeing along with improving care
for patients with sterility of neck access. Conclusions: Standing up straighter, further from the scatter, secured to table for
patient protection, and improved sterility for jugular access are all possible with the Stand Tall added to the access site(s).
Customizable to many scenarios without increased risk to the patient.
