Press Release | Texray today proudly announces that Prof. Dr. Ziv J Haskal, one of Interventional Radiology’s leading clinicians and scientists, has joined our Clinical & Scientific Advisory Board. 

BACKGROUND

Dr. Haskal was the two-term Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology. He has been awarded numerous gold medals, societal awards, honorary fellowships, and given many named lectures (and over 700 invited lectures worldwide). He first described the increased association between occupational radiation exposure and cataracts in endovascular specialists. His research makes him to one of the field’s leading, clinician and scientists within Interventional Radiology.

JOINING TEXRAY

“Radiation safety is a cornerstone of endovascular practice, yet the burden runs two ways: exposure accumulates quietly across a career, as does the weight worn to prevent it. There is no denying the musculoskeletal strain, disability, and incomplete shielding that providers experience from long careers wearing protective gear” said Prof. Dr. Ziv J Haskal. “ERPDs represent a critical next evolutionary safety step, but they have accomplished this without compromising patient access or clinical workflow. Texray listens to clinicians and allows the science to set the pace.They are building the room solutions for what modern radiation protection be— for all every specialty working with fluoroscopy.”

“Interventional radiology spend their careers very close to the radiation source,” said Petra Apell, Founder and CEO of Texray. ” I value Prof. Haskal’s extensive research experience and his deep understanding of the evidence required before a new technology can earn clinical trust. This closely reflects our values at Texray. If clinical teams are to have the freedom to choose an apron-free working environment in the future, that choice must be supported by thorough, robust clinical evidence.”

ABOUT TEXRAY

Founded in Sweden and shaped by its high safety standards, Texray AB, with subsidiaries in the USA, is a deep-tech company that has developed the only radiation protection textile in the world. The patented technology platform is currently used in our Personal Protective Equipment, HeadPeace and MindPeace, and in MasterPeace, a recognized Enhanced Radiation Protective Device (ERPD) in the multi-society Standard & Guideline, Expert Consensus Statement on Enhanced Radiation Protection for Interventional Teams.

Our mission is to empower medical professionals to stay healthy through robust, clinically evidence-based solutions that reduce radiation exposure during fluoroscopy-guided interventions, enabling the Freedom of Choice to work without lead aprons and providing Peace of Mind.
