XGUARD™ and FREEGUARD™ Radiation Reducing Gloves
XGUARD™ and FREEGUARD™ radiation reducing gloves have the same anatomic shape, softness, elasticity and comfort of typical surgical gloves.
Designed for single use, XGUARD™ and FREEGUARD™ gloves offer consistent quality and high tensile strength, so they are less likely to tear. The thin radiation attenuating gloves have a slight texture at the fingertips, to enable excellent gripping, dexterity, and high tactile sensitivity.
XGUARD™ and FREEGUARD™ sterile gloves are ideal where the user is exposed to ionising radiation, during interventions such as:
- Cardiology
- Radiology
- Orthopaedics
- Nuclear medicine
- EP/Cath Lab
- Haemodynamics
- Intensive Care
- Endoscopy
- Neuroradiology
- Urology
Key features
- Reduce ionising radiation exposure to the hands by up to 55%
- Excellent tactile sensitivity and control
- Anatomically shaped for comfort and natural movement
- Soft, flexible and comfortable to wear throughout procedures
The XGUARD™ range are lead oxide impregnated latex deprived of allergenic proteins, which minimises the risk of allergies. The gloves have a synthetic interior layer to further reduce allergic reaction.
The FREEGUARD™ range are made from polyisoprene, powderfree, lead free and latex free.
All gloves are available in two thicknesses, 0.22mm or 0.30mm, with 5 pairs per box.
We can also offer radiation reducing sleeves, 0.22mm thick, details on request.
