Lead Shield
A lead shield in medicine is used as an important tool for protecting medical personnel from the harmful effects of X-rays. Due to their high penetrating ability, X-rays easily pass through various materials such as skin, soft tissues, bones, etc., and can harm people’s health.
Additionally, lead shields must adhere to recognized safety standards. For example, the level of X-ray absorption must be accurately determined, ensuring adequate protection for medical personnel. Attention must also be given to labeling and instructions for the proper use of the lead shield. Negin Homay Iranian Company plays a significant role in promoting the health of veterinarians by producing equipment for protection against X-ray radiation.
To prevent the harmful effects of X-ray radiation, lead shields are used as protective tools in veterinary medicine. Lead shields can be used in the form of garments, bags, protective walls, and even curtains in radiography rooms.
Lead shields are usually made of multiple layers, including a lead layer and an inner layer. The thickness of the lead shield must be sufficient to absorb X-rays.
