Are You Really Protected From Scatter Radiation?
RADPAD® is the Only Product That Protects You at Energy Levels Above 100kV.
RADPAD® radiation protection shields are comprised of Antimony and Bismuth in a homogenous mixture enabling protection during low-energy flouro and high-energy CINE/DSA settings.
If it doesn’t say RADPAD®, it isn’t a RADPAD.
The Science
Typical Radiation Attenuation Materials
| Element | Symbol | Atomic # | Density |
| Bismuth | Bi | 83 | 9.75 |
| Lead | Pb | 82 | 11.35 |
| Tungsten | W | 74 | 19.35 |
| Barium | Ba | 56 | 3.62 |
| Antimony | Sb | 51 | 6.68 |
- In general, high-density materials are more effective than low-density alternatives for blocking or reducing the intensity of radiation.
- In the same way, the effectiveness of a shielding material in general increases with its atomic number
- Elements react differently to radiation so the most effective shielding incorporates both high and low atomic number elements
RADPAD Radiation Protection Shields
• Provide 95% reduction of scatter radiation exposure to the main operator, 40% – 50% reduction to other interventional lab personnel and 20% reduction to patients.
• Absorb radiation to provide a “shade zone” reducing scatter radiation, with no negative impact to the patient.
• Are comprised of Antimony and Bismuth providing protection during low-energy fluoro and high-energy CINE/DSA settings.
• Are clinically-tested and proven with more than 40 third-party clinical papers validating its efficacy.
• Are environmentally friendly containing no lead, no vinyl and no latex.
• Are lightweight and disposable.
