Radiation Protection Lead Barrier (Triple Panel)

Description

A Radiation Protection Lead Barrier (Triple Panel) is a mobile, three-section shield used to reduce scatter radiation during x-ray and fluoroscopic work. Each panel is lead-lined and connected with strong hinges so staff can create a straight wall, an L-shape, or a wraparound workstation. The central section typically includes a lead glass viewing window so clinicians can maintain a clear line of sight while staying behind protective shielding. Lockable casters make positioning fast and safe.

Key features and benefits:

• Three hinged panels that open wide for coverage and fold compact for storage.

• Continuous shielding with overlapping or interlocking edges to help prevent radiation gaps.

• Integrated viewing window with lead glass for visibility and communication.

• Stable, easy-roll base with lockable casters for quick setup between cases.

• Smooth, cleanable surfaces suited to routine disinfection.

• Choice of lead-equivalent ratings to align with your imaging protocols and safety plan.

• Label-ready panels to assign zones or procedures for efficient workflows.

Common uses and applications:

• Interventional radiology and cardiology suites using fluoroscopy.

• Operating rooms with C-arm imaging for orthopedic, urology, vascular, and pain procedures.

• Radiology rooms, dental CBCT areas, and veterinary imaging.

How it compares:

• Versus a single-panel barrier: triple panel models provide wider coverage and better angle control around the table.

• Versus fixed shields: mobile barriers bring protection to temporary or multi-room setups without construction.

• Versus PPE alone: complements aprons and thyroid collars to reduce staff dose under ALARA practice.

Compliance and selection notes:

• Confirm the stated lead equivalence and energy range with test documentation.

• Seek conformance to applicable protective device standards such as IEC 61331 series or local equivalents.

• Match height, window size, and footprint to room layout and patient access.

• Inspect routinely and avoid impacts that could compromise the shielding core.
