Pig Turner manual preparation system for precise radiopharmaceutical dose

The Pig Turner is an innovative device designed to facilitate the manual preparation of high-energy radiopharmaceuticals, particularly for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) procedures.

The Pig Turner is ergonomically designed for effortless tilting of shielded containers

This system makes it possible to tilt shielded containers, such as the Posisafe® Pb30, to easily collect patient doses without having to handle heavy loads, thereby minimising the physical effort required by operators.

The pot’s easy, secure tilting system prevents accidental detachment of the container or its lid. This mechanism guarantees complete and safe extraction of the contents of the shielded pot into a syringe shield.

Compact, the Pig turner can be integrated inside an hot cell, a PSMEB or used with an L-Block, allowing maximum flexibility in different working environments.

The pot turner is the ideal tool for Nuclear Medicine professionals

It optimises the manual preparation of high-energy radiopharmaceuticals.

By offering an ergonomic, safe and versatile solution, this system significantly reduces the workload on operators while guaranteeing safe and accurate handling.

FOCUS

The Pig Turner® comprises a shielded lid ensuring optimum radiation protection, as well as a rotatable, indexable container with a rotating base , compatible with the Posisafe® Pb30 container or the Medrad container.

This rotatable and indexable base allows the operator to easily position the container without straining, thereby ensuring safety at every stage of patient dose collection whilst minimising awkward postures.

The collection trolley facilitates movement, whilst the syringe shield holder improves working comfort at the workstation and adapts to the needs and preferences of each operator.

All these elements help to reduce the risks of radiation exposure and physical strain, as part of a comprehensive
approach to the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
