Portland, Oregon, August 25, 2025 – TZ Medical is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation, the URPro Overhead, a universal shielding solution designed to provide superior radiation protection in medical environments. This product offers high-quality, long-lasting safety and serves as a direct replacement for MAVIG™ overhead shielding systems.

Furthermore, it pairs seamlessly with the TZ Medical URPro universal radiation panel drapes, creating a comprehensive protective solution that meets the highest standards of radiation safety.

"We are excited to introduce the URPro Overhead to the medical community," said Trent Tribou of TZ Medical. "This product reflects our commitment to innovation and safety, ensuring that healthcare professionals and patients can operate in environments with reduced radiation exposure."
