Features
- Attenuate the radiation of low energy X-rays and gamma rays, and protect surgeons’ hands against radiation exposure
- Maintain sensitivity of touch
- Minimize the risk of allergic reaction
The radiation-attenuating gloves are only 0.3 mm (0.012 in) thick to permit greatest flexibility, dexterity and sensitivity of touch. The material is natural latex-free to minimize the risk of allergic reaction due to natural latex sensitivity. The gloves are lead-loaded to attenuate direct or scattered radiation and to protect hands when operating directly in low energy radiation fields. The radiation exposure of surgeons during X-ray guided surgeries can be reduced when using the surgical gloves especially in fluoroscopy and orthopedics. In addition, the gloves can be used in any other radiation department where surgeons place their hands into radiation fields, such as cardiology, general radiology, dental applications, nuclear medicine and other radioisotope laboratories. The gloves are carefully tested for pinholes and leaks, and they can be re-sterilized. The gloves are CE marked for the use in the territory of the European Union. Six glove sizes are available. The weight per pair is between 71 g (2.5 oz) for gloves of size 6½ and 94 g (3.3 oz) for gloves of size 9. Thicker gloves than the standard gloves and gloves with longer sleeves are also available upon request.
