Leave a comment


In its first 2 – 3 years of availability, analysis of the first 535 patients implanted with the Rigicon® Infla10® shows safety data for survival from mechanical failure, device infection, other medical problems, and patient dissatisfaction to be consistent with results for established competitor devices. Key findings are very similar to the statistics from initial study and indicate excellent Infla10® freedom from need of revision. Rigicon® Infla10® exhibits comparable device durability.

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Sept. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Rigicon is pleased to present a newly published clinical study article titled “Survival From Revision Surgery for New Rigicon Infla10® Three-piece Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Is Comparable to Preceding Devices.”

In its first 2 – 3 years of availability, The Rigicon Infla10® Inflatable Penile Prosthesis shows freedom from revision comparable to existing enhanced devices that have been on the market for decades. Analysis of the first 535 patients implanted with the Rigicon Infla10® (between January 2019 and August 2022) shows safety data for survival from mechanical failure, device infection, other medical problems, and patient dissatisfaction to be consistent with results for established competitor devices.

RAMPART IC Announces the Addition of Rob Williamson to Its Board of Managers

Leave a comment


Interventional cardiologists spend extended time in catheterization labs. Their occupation is exposed to the highest levels of radiation in the world.1 These physicians often face debilitating injuries resulting from the 20-30-pound lead aprons traditionally worn to reduce radiation exposure,2 with nearly half reporting some form of orthopedic injury.3 The Rampart M1128, which is designed for procedures conducted by interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, interventional neurologists, and interventional radiologists, is a fully adjustable and portable system equipped with transparent radiation-attenuating panels that have 1mm lead equivalency, creating a wide shielding area, protecting the physician and surrounding medical personnel. The powered device can easily be configured and adjusted to allow for subtle positioning to suit type of procedure and the body shape of the patient.

The Rampart system is used by several prominent US healthcare systems and prestigious university medical institutions. In addition, Rampart has signed agreements with distributors in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America providing its radiation shielding solution to serve healthcare professionals in countries around the world.

“I am pleased to join the Board of Managers at Rampart,” said Williamson. “Like many of the companies I have been involved with, Rampart has a unique value proposition that is specifically focused on an underserved population within our space. After 25 years in and around interventional labs, I have seen firsthand the impact that both radiation exposure and wearing lead can have on the body. Our healthcare providers deserve better, and Rampart is delivering. I’m honored to serve a company with such an important mission.”

Founded in 2018, Rampart is a leading innovator of radiation attenuating medical devices for physicians and staff who perform interventional procedures using fluoroscopic and other medical imaging equipment. Designed to protect the entire team during procedures, Rampart’s products allow teams to operate without having to wear heavy lead aprons and other garments that have been known to cause debilitating musculoskeletal and orthopedic issues for operators. The company’s flagship product, the M1128, is used in cath labs worldwide.
