 These lead shields, available in three sizes, are designed to eliminate or reduce scatter radiation to the testicles.
Each unit is cast to provide a lead wall thickness of 1/2" and features an open sector to allow comfortable attachment to the patient. All surfaces are coated with a beige polyurethane paint to reduce lead exposure.
The shield’s top and bottom sections are secured with either the two rubber straps, provided, or with nylon tape. When using the testicle shield stand, no straps are needed – a special dome and groove between the two halves of the shield stop leakage and prevent them from sliding apart.
To enhance patient comfort, a soft cotton sock may be used to cover the testicles when placing them into a cold shield.
