Comfortable, easy to wear, inexpensive and sanitary single use disposable shields reduce up to 60% of the direct beam between 50 and 120 kVp. Half the price of Bismuth shields but every bit as effective at blocking radiation.
Barium sulfate is one of the least harmful and most effective radiation attenuators. This is the same material administered during GI procedures and is the sole attenuating ingredient in our new environmentally safe Smart Armor Radiation Protection Eye Shields.
It is safe enough to dispose of in the regular trash with no special handling required.
