Mobile lead barriers equipped with lead glass windows are essential protective devices used in hospitals, clinics, and radiology departments to shield medical staff from scatter radiation while performing X-rays or fluoroscopy procedures.
Key Features and Construction
These barriers offer a versatile solution compared to fixed installations, combining robust radiation protection with mobility and visibility.
Radiation Shielding: Both the opaque panel section and the integrated viewing window typically provide a lead equivalent (PbEq) rating of 1.6mm to 2.2mm, which meets international safety standards for personnel protection.
Mobility: Barriers are mounted on heavy-duty, often lockable, castor wheels. This allows them to be easily maneuvered between different examination rooms, operating theatres, or intensive care units (ICUs) as needed.
Leaded Glass Windows: The window is the critical component for safety and usability. It is made from high-density lead glass that attenuates radiation effectively while offering high optical clarity and resisting discoloration over time. Common window sizes range from 30x40 cm to large formats like 120x75 cm.
Durable Construction: The core lead sheeting is typically encased in sturdy, easy-to-clean materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, or laminates designed for hospital environments and infection control
