For many years it has been thought that lead is a very dangerous material that should be avoided or removed from peoples’ homes. Nobody ever expected that lead would be used for something good, something that could save lives. Today lead is used to make protective shields. Lead shielding has many uses in a variety of different industries. However, its most common and important purpose is to create a protective shield for patients undergoing X-Ray testing or radiation treatment. If you or someone you know is in need of lead shielding, or is interested in learning more about it, contact Medi-Ray™ today. We have the professional knowledge and experience to make sure that our customers are completely satisfied with their safety material.
Due to lead’s high density, it is the perfect material for blocking gamma rays and x-rays that can be harmful to the body, as they can tamper with DNA and even cause cancer. However, with the protection of lead shielding, harmful rays are absorbed in the lead and never even make it to the body.
Radiation shielding in medical industry
Lead shielding comes in many forms, shapes and sizes. For example, lead shielding can be found in the form of an apron for patients to wear in an x- ray testing room, to cover sensitive organs in the body. Lead shielding can also be found in the laboratory itself, in structures such as walls comprised of lead bricks, as well as thick containers with a lead base, used for transporting hazardous radioactive materials.
