Description

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

  • This polyisoprene, radiation attenuation personal protective shield reduces skin-dose exposure by up to 69.1% (beam energy level 60 kVp) versus conventional surgical gloves that attenuate under 1% of scattered radiation2
  • Eliminates the risk of developing Type I latex allergy and sensitization
  • Free from chemical accelerators known to cause Type IV chemical allergies and sensitivities for low dermatitis potential
  • This glove's thickness is optimized for the ideal balance of protection and comfort 
  • Dark grey in color, this glove features a micro-textured finish for good 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.

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.
