Thyroid Collar Standard for X-Ray & Fluoroscopy Radiation Protection
The IndoSurgicals Thyroid Collar Standard is a wearable radiation-protection shield designed to cover the thyroid and neck region during applicable diagnostic X-ray, fluoroscopy and image-guided procedures. It is available with 0.35 mm Pb or 0.50 mm Pb lead equivalency, adult and child size options, and a choice of conventional lead-vinyl or lead-free radiation-protection core materials.
Standard X-Ray Thyroid Collar for Healthcare Professionals
The thyroid gland is located in the neck and can receive scattered radiation during procedures involving ionising X-rays. A properly selected radiation protection thyroid collar provides an additional shielding layer over this region as part of a healthcare facility's overall radiation-safety programme.
IndoSurgicals manufactures the Standard Thyroid Collar for hospitals, radiology departments, diagnostic centres, cath labs, operation theatres using C-arm imaging, urology departments and dental X-ray facilities. It may be used by doctors, surgeons, radiologists, radiographers, technicians, nurses and other healthcare personnel when thyroid shielding is indicated by procedure and facility protocol.
Select the required protection level, core material and size according to the procedure, fit, wearing duration and the healthcare facility's radiation-protection assessment.
Thyroid Region Coverage
Designed to provide a protective shielding layer around the neck and thyroid region during applicable radiological procedures.
Two Protection Levels
Available in 0.35 mm Pb and 0.50 mm Pb lead-equivalent configurations.
Adult & Child Sizes
Separate adult and child size options support more appropriate coverage and fit for different users.
Adjustable Closure
Hook-and-loop fastening supports convenient wearing, removal and adjustment around the neck.
Bound Edges
Ends and corners are bound with skin-friendly fabric to improve comfort around exposed edges.
PU-Coated Outer Fabric
The current product specification lists a PU-coated outer fabric with antimicrobial and anti-odour properties.
Choose Conventional Lead Vinyl or Lead-Free Radiation Protection
The Thyroid Collar Standard is offered with multiple IndoSurgicals radiation-protection core-material options. Material selection can influence weight, flexibility, lead content and the type of shielding-test documentation required by the buyer.
StPb® — Lead Vinyl
Conventional lead-vinyl shielding core for buyers who prefer traditional, economical lead-based radiation protection.
NoPb®-LT — Lead-Free Lightweight
Lead-free lightweight shielding material designed to balance practical weight, flexibility and diagnostic X-ray protection.
NoPb®-SL — Lead-Free Super Lightweight
Super-lightweight lead-free shielding core intended where reducing garment core weight is an important consideration.
NoPb®-BL — Lead-Free Broad-Beam Tested
Premium lead-free shielding material intended for buyers who specifically require broad-beam test data and associated technical documentation.
0.35 mm Pb and 0.50 mm Pb Thyroid Protection Options
The required lead-equivalency level should be selected according to the imaging procedure, expected scatter conditions, facility radiation-safety programme and applicable regulatory or institutional requirements.
0.35 mm Pb
Available for applications where the healthcare facility specifies 0.35 mm Pb thyroid-region protection. Material and size should be selected for the intended procedure and user.
0.50 mm Pb
Available where 0.50 mm Pb lead-equivalent thyroid shielding is specified by facility protocol, procurement requirement or procedure.
Adult and Child Size Options
Correct positioning is important because a thyroid shield should cover the intended neck and thyroid region without creating unnecessary discomfort or interfering with the clinical procedure.
Adult Size
Adult-size configuration for healthcare professionals and other adult users requiring thyroid-region radiation protection.
Child Size
Smaller-size configuration for users requiring a reduced collar fit. The size label describes fit only and does not imply routine patient thyroid shielding.
Hook-and-Loop Closure
Adjustable hook-and-loop fastening provides a practical method for fitting, securing and removing the collar.
Comfortable Edge Binding
Bound ends and corners help isolate the shielding material from exposed edges and support comfortable contact around the neck.
Typical Clinical Environments for a Thyroid Radiation Shield
The Standard Thyroid Collar is intended for applicable occupational environments where trained personnel require additional thyroid-region protection from scattered X-ray radiation.
Radiology Departments
For applicable diagnostic imaging procedures requiring wearable thyroid-region radiation protection.
Cath Labs
Suitable for specified interventional workflows involving fluoroscopic imaging and occupational scatter exposure.
C-Arm Procedures
For operation theatres and procedure rooms using mobile C-arm imaging where thyroid shielding is required.
Urology Procedures
For applicable fluoroscopy-assisted urology procedures subject to facility radiation-safety requirements.
Dental Imaging Environments
May be selected for occupational use by dental personnel around X-ray equipment where thyroid-region protection is required. Routine patient thyroid shielding should not be assumed and should follow current professional guidance, imaging protocol, facility policy and local requirements.
Hospitals & Diagnostic Centres
Suitable for departments requiring reusable X-ray radiation-protection apparel for trained staff.
