Radial Support Sling

The Left Radial Support Sling was developed by a senior cardiac radiographer to overcome various problems associated with left radial access coronary angiography. The radial support sling supports a patient's left arm, so a surgeon can gain the access required for a left radial approach without leaning over the patient, and prevents the patient’s arm from slipping. The support sling provides comfort for both the patient and operator and prevents the alternative femoral artery approach occurring, which requires greater recovery time and more complications.
