A patented versatile mobile scatter radiation shield.
It mounts to existing IV poles while allowing adequate space for attached medical devices and preserving IV pole stability. This insures simple functionality and a significant reduction in space and equipment costs. The ability to mount directly to existing IV poles permits an excellent radiation barrier near every source of ionizing radiation.
-
Attaches quickly to existing IV poles.
-
Easily accommodates IV pumps and other equipment.
-
Core of 23" x 31", 0.5 mm thick, pure lead sheet greatly reduces radiation exposure to circulating staff.
-
Cardiologist undistracted by nurse location during fluoroscopy and cine.
-
Frees lab floor space by replacing "roll around" shielding.
-
Reduces procedure time by allowing nurse to remain at IV stand during fluoroscopy and cine.

RADIATION ABSORPTION BY PURE LEAD
SHEETING AT MEDICAL X-RAY ENERGIES
"An obvious solution to nurse protection."
"A no-brainer."
A highly hazardous location for the nurse during fluoro/cine is near the IV pole.
The Rad-Guard® makes it one of the safest places.
New application for the Rad-Guard®
A vascular surgery unit in SC attached a Rad-Guard®
to the lower half of an existing IV pole with the upper section removed, making a convenient and highly effective mobile shield for the anesthesiologist.
(The change-over took less than 5 minutes.)
