Purpose

• Radiation protection: Reduces gonadal exposure to ionizing radiation during pelvic and abdominal imaging.
• Risk reduction: Minimizes potential genetic effects and infertility risks by limiting dose to the ovaries.

Features

• Material: Lead or lead-equivalent materials (lead vinyl or lead-free composite) selected for radiation attenuation.
• Design: Triangular shape sized to conform to pelvic contours; available in multiple sizes to suit different patients.
• Attachment: Tie-closure system for adjustable positioning and secure fit.
• Placement: Positioned over the pelvic area to shield ovaries without obstructing diagnostic image of target anatomy.

Use in medical imaging

• Radiography: Pelvic and hip X-rays, selected abdominal views.
• Fluoroscopy: Procedures requiring intermittent or continuous imaging of the pelvic region.
• Pediatric imaging: Important for protecting developing reproductive organs in children.

Benefits

• Patient safety: Lowers unnecessary radiation dose to reproductive organs.
• Regulatory compliance: Supports adherence to radiation protection standards in healthcare facilities.
• Comfort and usability: Tie closure and anatomical shape facilitate correct placement and patient comfort.
