XGuard™ Radiation Reducing Gloves

The protection of hands against radiation requires particular consideration due to the direct and repeated exposure from primary rays during complex 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 dexterity.

• 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.
• Designed for single use, XGuard™ gloves offer optimal quality and radiation protection levels each time they are used.
• 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.
