XGuard™ Radiation Reducing Gloves

XGuard™ Radiation Reducing Gloves

The protection of hands against radiation requires particular consideration due to the direct and repeated exposure of primary rays in many different types of procedures. The XGuard™ range reduces the quantity of ionising radiation reaching the hands by up to 55% whilst still being thin enough to provide excellent gripping and perfect dexterity.

This product was developed with the physicians’ needs in mind – it provides the ideal combination of radiation reduction, flexibility, comfort and sensitivity.

The XGuard™ gloves are adapted for all users exposed to ionising radiation, as is usually the case in the following interventions: Haemodynamics, Endoscopy, Radiology, Neuroradiology, Urology, Intensive Care, Reanimation, Orthopaedics and Nuclear Medicine.

• XGuard™ gloves have the same anatomic shape, softness, elasticity and comfort of typical surgical gloves.
• Manufactured from latex rubber impregnated with lead oxide, there are 3 different levels of thickness and radiation protection.
• The latex has deprived of allergic proteins, so these gloves are perfect for sensitive skinned users.

• One of the thinnest gloves on the market, they enable excellent gripping, dexterity, and high tactile sensitivity.
• Interior synthetic layer not only reduces the risk of allergies further but facilitates the donning of the glove.
