Zero-Gravity® Suspended Radiation Protection System

zero-gravity-zgd20wa-loop-549x549-5

Zero-Gravity® is a suspended radiation protection system that offers security, virtual weightlessness, and ease of movement. It is designed with thick lead, and a lead-acrylic face shield that helps provide safety to clinicians during fluoroscopy procedures.


  • Zero-Gravity reduces risk of orthopedic strain resulting from routinely wearing heavy protective apparel without compromising radiation protection.
  • The suspended body shield affords freedom of movement and can easily be engaged or disengaged all while maintaining sterility.
  • Helps to reduce the risk of contamination.

Key Facts

The growing number and complexity of fluoroscopic procedures performed each year has increased the workload for interventionists, resulting in cumulative radiation doses and orthopedic strain that can limit careers or even cut them short.1 The Zero-Gravity suspended radiation protection system is designed to increase the level of radiation protection while at the same time eliminating the weight burden for the operator.
Zero-Gravity reduces risk of orthopedic strain without compromising radiation protection.
Zero-Gravity provides superior operator protection during fluoroscopy.
Zero-Gravity allows clinicians freedom of movement, especially during challenging procedures.
Zero-Gravity is flexible and can be adapted to meet the needs of any room environment.

Zero-Gravity Product Options

Floor Unit

The Floor Unit suspended body and face shield can be repositioned for a broad range of procedures and room configurations.

When not in use, the system can be easily stored to the side of a room.

Monorail Hinged Swing Arm

This system combines the advantages of the Hinged Swing Arm and Monorail configurations, therefore providing the operator with maximum patient access.

The ceiling-mounted rail with a swing arm fixed to a trolley provides smooth access to both sides of the table.

Glides easily out of the way and can be stowed when not in use.

Hinged Swing Arm

The single fixation point of the Hinged Swing Arm system makes it the ideal choice when other ceiling mounted equipment prohibits the use of a rail.

Can be used on both sides of the table if there is a fixation point available near the center of the table.

The shield can be stowed when not been used, e.g., in hybrid rooms.

Monorail: 44"or 66"

Suspended from a ceiling-mounted rail, the Monorail is perfect when floor space is scarce.

Offered in two boom arm lengths (44"or 66"): the short boom provides patient access on one side of the table, while the longer boom provides access on both sides of the table (depending on the position of the rail).

Can be upgraded with an additional shield, enabling simultaneous use by two operators.

Monorail 66”Technical Specification

Product Specification

Zero-Gravity utilizes a suspended 1.0 mm lead body shield that engages magnetically to a vest worn by the operator. This allows Zero-Gravity to move in sync with the operator and easily be stowed out of the way when not needed. In addition, it employs a 0.5 mm lead equivalent acrylic face shield that protects the head, eyes and throat of the operator.
