X-Ray Lead Cap / Head Shield for Forehead and Side Radiation Protection
The IndoSurgicals X-Ray Lead Cap / Head Shield is an adult radiation-protection accessory designed to provide shielding across the forehead and sides of the head during applicable diagnostic X-ray, fluoroscopy and image-guided procedures. It is available in 0.35 mm Pb and 0.50 mm Pb lead-equivalent configurations with four IndoSurgicals Lite Lead and lead-free core-material options. An adjustable tie closure at the rear allows practical fitting for adult healthcare professionals.
X-Ray Radiation Protection Head Shield for Healthcare Professionals
Medical professionals who work close to X-ray and fluoroscopy equipment may receive scattered ionising radiation during applicable diagnostic and image-guided procedures. Where cranial-region protection forms part of the facility's radiation-safety programme, an appropriately selected X-ray head shield can provide additional attenuation over the covered regions.
This IndoSurgicals model is designed primarily for the forehead and sides of the head. Its shorter, band-style configuration differentiates it from the deeper IndoSurgicals Full Protection Lead Cap, which is intended for broader crown and rear-head coverage.
Select the published protection level, core material and fit from the intended procedure, required coverage, wearing duration and the facility's radiation-protection assessment.
Forehead Coverage
Protective material extends across the frontal forehead region of the wearer.
Side Head Coverage
The protective band continues around the sides of the head for broader lateral shielding.
0.35 / 0.50 mm Pb
Two stated lead-equivalent protection levels are available according to user and facility requirements.
Four Core Materials
Choose StPb®, NoPb®-LT, NoPb®-SL or NoPb®-BL radiation-protection material.
Adult Design
The current product specification identifies this particular X-Ray Lead Cap as an adult model.
Adjustable Rear Tie
Tie fastening at the back allows practical adjustment and securing around the head.
Targeted Forehead and Side Coverage
The X-Ray Lead Cap uses a relatively compact protective pattern around the circumference of the head. It is intended to provide coverage over the forehead and lateral regions without using the deeper full-cap construction of the Full Protection model.
Frontal Protection
The front protective section covers the forehead area while maintaining an open facial field.
Lateral Protection
Shielding extends around the sides of the head, producing broader coverage than a narrow forehead-only strip.
Choose Lite Lead or Lead-Free Radiation Protection
The X-Ray Lead Cap / Head Shield is available with four IndoSurgicals radiation-protection core materials: StPb® Lite Lead, NoPb®-LT Lite Lead Free, NoPb®-SL Super Lite Lead Free and NoPb®-BL Bi-layer Lead Free.
Material selection can influence core weight, flexibility, lead content and wearing comfort. Both 0.35 mm Pb and 0.50 mm Pb protection levels are available with the listed core options.
StPb® — Lite Lead
StPb® is the Lite Lead shielding-core option for healthcare facilities and buyers who prefer a conventional lead-containing radiation-protection material.
NoPb®-LT — Lite Lead Free
NoPb®-LT is a Lite Lead Free radiation-protection material designed to provide lead-free X-ray shielding with a practical balance of weight and flexibility.
NoPb®-SL — Super Lite Lead Free
NoPb®-SL is the Super Lite Lead Free shielding option intended for users who place particular emphasis on reducing the weight of wearable radiation-protection equipment.
NoPb®-BL — Bi-layer Lead Free
NoPb®-BL is the Bi-layer Lead Free radiation-protection option for buyers requiring a lead-free shielding configuration with associated technical test documentation.
Available in 0.35 mm Pb and 0.50 mm Pb
Two lead-equivalent protection levels are offered for this X-Ray Head Shield. Selection should consider expected scatter exposure, procedure type, material weight and the healthcare facility's radiation-protection requirements.
0.35 mm Pb
Available for healthcare professionals and facilities specifying a 0.35 mm Pb lead-equivalent X-ray Head Shield.
0.50 mm Pb
Available for users and applications where 0.50 mm Pb lead-equivalent head shielding is required.
Adult X-Ray Head Shield with Adjustable Rear Tie
The current product specification identifies this model as an adult X-Ray Lead Cap. An adjustable tie fastening at the rear allows the circumference and fit to be adjusted before use.
Adult Size
This particular X-Ray Head Shield is specified for adult users.
Adjustable Rear Tie
Rear tie closure allows practical adjustment according to the wearer's head circumference.
Secure Positioning
Correct tie adjustment helps maintain the intended forehead and side coverage during use.
Skin-Friendly Edge Binding
Exposed edges are finished with skin-friendly fabric binding according to the supplied specification.
Antimicrobial Outer Fabric
The current specification describes antimicrobial properties for the outer covering.
Anti-Odour Outer Fabric
Anti-odour properties are also stated for the Head Shield outer fabric.
Medical Applications of the X-Ray Lead Cap / Head Shield
The X-Ray Head Shield is intended for applicable medical imaging environments where cranial-region shielding is included in the user's radiation-protection programme.
Cath Labs
Suitable for applicable interventional procedures involving prolonged fluoroscopy and scatter radiation.
Interventional Radiology
May form part of personal radiation-protection equipment during applicable image-guided procedures.
C-Arm Procedures
For healthcare personnel working near mobile C-arm X-ray equipment where head protection is specified.
Surgical Imaging
May be selected during applicable operating-room procedures involving intraoperative X-ray imaging.
Hospitals
For hospital departments maintaining occupational radiation-protection apparel.
Diagnostic Centres
Suitable for imaging facilities where additional head shielding is required by local protocol.
