Radiation protection gloves are effective
in counterbalancing the risk of scatter
beam radiation
exposure
during image
guided
procedures.
The hands
are the body
parts that are
most exposed
to radiation
during such
procedures,
unfortunately it
is also the most
neglected part
when it comes
to radiation
protection. While most professionals
would use an apron they would skip the
use of gloves
which results
in damaging
the body at
cellular level.
These exposed
hands are the
source for the
many skin
diseases and
cancer causing
phenomena.
High quality radiation
protection gloves
are manufactured
using either natural
latex, or synthetic
latex alternatives with
bismuth as the radiation
attenuation element
