KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- This latex, powder-free personal protective shield reduces skin-dose exposure by up to 54% (beam energy level 60 kVp) versus double gloving with conventional surgical gloves that absorb only 1% of scattered radiation2
- This glove’s extra thickness is optimized for the best balance of protection and tactile sensitivity, while allowing for a comfortable fit
- Khaki-colored, this glove features a textured micro-textured finish for better grip control
IMPORTANT: Classified as a personal protective shield and are not a medical device. The gloves must be used in combination with medical gloves if they come in contact with blood or other bodily fluids. Safe use of these gloves by latex-sensitized individuals has not been established. This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions.
1. CAUTION: Radiation Attenuation gloves are designed to protect hands from scattered radiation exposure originating from the X-ray beam during fluoroscopic procedures. They are not intended for use in direct or primary X-ray beams.
